How do I Stop my Wrists from Rolling sideways?

The wrists shouldn't roll sideways. They hinge by moving up and down. Try this: Hold the club out in front of you, and hinge it upward as if you were going to tap your nose. That's true hinging. Combine it with a full body turn, and you're on your way.

When should your wrist hinge in the golf swing?

I need help with an issue in my backswing. I have been trying to eliminate the rolling of my wrists in the back swing. Because of this the club gets a little on the inside on the back swing. Standing DTL the clubhead does not get behind my body, with the exception of my driver and 3 wood. I have tried numerous things to eliminate this problem.

"Make the club feel light"... Feel as though the clubhead is directly above your hands... If the clubhead gets "too laid off", clubhead will feel "heavier"... This move does require a "deeper" turn into your "trail side"...

I too have had this problem - rolling wrists, and getting flat and inside. I can only reiterate the drills already given - particular important is a one-piece takeaway. Keep the butt of the club pointin at your belly button until the hands get hip high, and then simply FOLD THE RIGHT ELBOW, dont even think about any active wrist action.

This is a problem I started working recently with my local pro as well. One thing I didn't get a chance to ask him was the affect of the right hand grip in relation to allowing the right elbow to fold while maintaing a flat left wrist and balancing the weight of the club properly with the right hand.

Im not really sure what you mean by pre-wrist **** drill but I personally think any manipulation of the hands is a step backwards. when you set-up to the ball there will be a cup in your left wrist... try to use your shoulders and core to just turn back. Geoff (slicefixer) calls this "keeping the crinkles".
