Golf is a flinging motion, swinging a weight at the end of a stick. The final lever in this process is your wrists. Your hands hold the club, but your wrists release it through impact.

If you pull the grip faster than you fling the club, your wrists will lag and back up during impact, reducing both speed and accuracy.

To maximize clubhead speed and control, free your wrists and let the club release naturally.
