An "overset" of the wrists is a common swing flaw; it can arise due to misguided training or may be attributed to a few of the well-intentioned (but misleading) golf adages related to the wrists. Unfortunately, this relatively subtle action can lead to a number of compensations in the downswing, such as casting and/or "early-extension".

Thankfully, to heighten our awareness for this pattern, all we need is a simple closet hanger; this should allow us to avoid "maxing out" the amount of radial deviation that occurs in the backswing, while still mindfully increasing the extension in the trail wrist.

Overall, this should help create a backswing that is more conducive to the efficient (and powerful) "pelvis-torso-club" transition sequence and subsequent "tour" release. Players who improve upon this motion should notice more tension/load in the core and hips during both the backswing & downswing, along with improved timing and consistency.
