Being physically fit for golf is one thing but one area of golf fitness that gets overlooked is getting the wrists nice and strong in order to control the club through the whole swing.

When you think about a professional golfer setting up for their swing on most occasions you will see them wave the club from one side to another, if you think that those clubs even though a little lighter than your average shaft it takes a fair amount of strength to perform this action. So how can you go about getting stronger wrists?

Here are a few tips on how you can strengthen your wrists without having to spend a fortune on weights and equipment.

Wrist Curls: Hold a tin of soup in the palm of your hand and with your palm pointing skywards and pull your wrist towards you. Do this ten times and then relax for 20 seconds and repeat 4 times.

Reverse Wrist Curls: As above but in reverse hold the tin in your hand with your palm facing down wrists pointing out and pull your wrists towards you. As before do this ten times and rest 20 seconds repeating 4 times.

Golf Club Cock: No its not rude, behave! Hold your arm by your side with a seven iron in your hand then using only your wrist lift the club towards the sky. do this ten times on one side then ten times on the next and repeat four times.

If you do these exercises a few times a week and you will start to see you have more control over the club head throughout your swing.
