Sergio's Speed Secret

At impact, Sergio's clubhead is traveling at roughly 120 mph. How does he generate this kind of speed? As he transitions from backswing to downswing, Sergio moves his arms fast. This forces his left wrist to hinge and establishes a sharp angle between his forearm and the shaft, which creates an extra speed lever in his swing that you can't get when you move your arms slowly. This wrist hinge also helps Sergio to get the shaft leaning forward at impact, a delofting move that helps add yards to every club. — M.S.
