The Wipe Is Rotational

The wipe is a move that unites the downswing. It blends transition into the release. When you have a good wipe, your swing will usually look smooth and you will have width in the follow through. When you don't have a good wipe you'll usually struggle with fat/thin misses and complain of more inconsistency. When learning the wipe, some golfers lose the connection of the arms to the body.
