Preset-Cock-Lock-Type Golf Swing Wrist Action- Golf Exercises with the Medicine Ball Coaching to Improve Your Golf Game From Tee-to-Green
Here are a few golf exercises with a medicine ball that will allow the golfer to set the proper golf swing wrist action for power and control. As important that practice is to the golfer, more important is the strength training and drills for the golfer to develop power and flexibility.
The Cock-Lock golf exercises with a medicine ball are one of the best ways to not only improve your conditioning and fitness, but develop a natural-type golf swing. Cross-training is one of your best techniques to make your golf swing sequence become automatic.
The medicine ball used in your regular workout sessions can actually prove to be more effective than practice in the backyard or on the practice range. The more ways you can learn the essential golf swing wrist action to preset your wrist in the golf swing, the more natural this will be for you to perform on the course.
The Three Trigger Muscles in the Golf Swing Wrist Action
There are three (3) trigger muscles that I like to fire up during my golf exercises with a medicine ball that will directly impact my golf swing mechanics. These are the Thenars, Palmaris Longus Tendon/Muscle (or Palmer Tendon/Muscle), and the Brachio-Radialis Muscles (or Brach Muscle). These are key muscles in presetting my golf swing into the Cock-Lock Position.
NOTE: Brach is pronounced like the name of the candy Company BRACH’S. The Palmer Tendon/Muscle is responsible for hinging the wrists and gripping the handle of the club.
These muscles are key in the Kinetic Chain that synchronizes the remaining muscles that are critical to creating power, clubhead speed, acceleration, and control in the golf swing. Presetting these key trigger muscles is like putting your golf swing on autopilot. Using the trigger muscles will naturally preset your wrists into the position noted in the illustration in the featured image, showing my wrists in the Preset-Cock-Lock Position.
I discussed the Kinetic Chain in my Orange Bucket Challenge Introduction and why the Baseball Swing Sequence is important to the golfer to hit more fairways and greens in regulation:

The Orange Bucket Challenge Walk-Through
These were used to produce a promotional for a Sport Show leading up to the 2021 US OPEN. The reason I’m using special golf balls that only travel up to 100 yards is where the film crew could capture where my drives were landing in regards to my HOME DEPOT Orange Bucket. During the pre-production meet, the file crew express concerns that they won’t be able to zoom in to show where my drives were landing.
These special golf balls called AlmostGOLF Balls are excellent for a football field or your backyard. They only travel up to 100 yards that represents a 300- yard drive with an actual golf ball. These AlmostGOLF Balls DON’T cause property damage or injuries to others or pets.

THE QATSPY® AMERICAN CLASSIC LEATHER JACKET COLLECTION
The U.S. A-2 Leather Jacket has been a major part of our history (both military and civilian) since 1931 when the U.S. Army Air Corps developed and issued the leather flight jacket to pilots during World War II. A version of this iconic and classic A-2 Leather Flight Jacket became the persona of two legendary entertainers/actors- Fonzie in Happy Days and Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
