Shawn,
As always great common sense approach using the tools that are innate to us. I am only 2 years into this game and thanks to you – my game is trending in the right direction. Quick two part question. At address I would have my leading hand ( I am a right handed player) in a “relaxed” position where the hand feels slightly turned out. Today while at the range I turned the lead hand slightly to the right and noticed a significant difference in my ball striking. I would switch back and forth between the two settings and will definitely say with the lead hand slightly turned in to the right (see more knuckles on the lead hand) my striking is much better – I also believe it is making me bring the club back wider on my takeaway leading to more accuracy and distance. So the two questions are – Is this proper or correct? If it is proper, how “turned in” should your lead hand be?
Thanks in advance!!
TP
You are absolutely barking up the right tree!!
The key is this: when you deliver your action well into the target, well past the ball, and it flies the way you want with NICE COMPRESSION, then the geip-club relation is sound!
😀👍😀👍
Thanks Shawn!!
I dont play hockey but watched the Capps win the Stanely Cup. I LOVED the leverage idea that hockey players use. So, I want that same feeling with irons right?
Yeah man! Collect the ball from it’s position and release the ball into the direction you want the ball to start on!
Shawn:
I am a right handed golfer that places my left thumb over the grip to the inside of of the club. When I moved the thumb straight down the shaft, It feels awkward but I noticed the ball 20 yards down the fairway and to the right side of the fairway.
Any suggestions for the awkwardness of the grip and ball on the right side of the rough?
Do a hybrid between the 2! You do not want to feel that you will loose the ball to the right before you swing or during the swing; EVER!
Hi Shawn I can feel the release of the club in both directions with the trail hand only and lead hand only but when I get both hands on the club I lose the feel of the release , where am I going wrong ? Cheers
Shawn or Matt I’m a right handed player how many knuckles of the lead hand should I see in the set up?
3 is a great number Bill!
Hi Shawn. First off thanks for being the one simple voice of reason and sense in a virtual universe of constant white noise, quick fixes and overly complex voodoo. 10 years into the game now. I started with you, then tried to find my own way, was perpetually confused and am now back to you exclusively and ready to get it right once and for all. Quick question on this. My fear is that this swing thought might lead me to flipping or scooping at the ball. My thought process defaults to rolling the hands over (passing through square to target at midpoint…hopefully…by some miracle of timing) through impact. What video or drill re-enforces the correct lead/trail feeling and interaction for correct release.
Hi kh! I can’t believe I missed this comment; thank you for leaving it!
the videos you want to watch are “lead hand release”, “trail hand release”, “release fine tuning” and “snap release polish” as well as “turbo charge lead and trail hand release”
keep me posted on your progress!
