Not sure I know the "leading cause" but.....

Left wrist breakdown = clubhead throwaway

Bent right wrist = Flat left wrist

Concentrate on keeping the right wrist bent during your stroke all the way through impact to low point.

Work on some drills. Start by doing some chips and really focus on impact with your flat left wrist/bent right wrist. Finish with both arms straight in front of you. Your left wrist should still be flat at finish with these short shots. Progress to some pitch shots. Then eventually work your way up to full shots.

Working with an impact bag will also help. Check out the video we have of Yoda demonstrating with the impact bag. Take note of the impact position. The bag will help train you to do this.

Do all of these things as often as possible!
