The TWO Things Your Hands MUST Do To Play GREAT Golf

So all week I've been so excited to share this video with you because I know it will help you. Now

your

hands

and arms

play

an important role in

your

swing. In fact, they perform two functions: they help you generate power effortlessly and they help you. now you control your direction. I bet if you're like my students, you're doing a lot of cool

things

in your

golf

swing, but not understanding how your

hands

and arms work is possibly killing all that hard work. In fact, I coach a number of high-level

golf

ers who, for example, don't move their body as well as some of the other

play

ers, but understanding how their hands and arms work has allowed them to generate another 15 or 20+ yards. with ease and precision in your games. to show you how you can do the same thing in this video now before I watch if you are new to the channel so your first lessons from me please consider subscribing or sharing videos like this every week to try to help you improve your game and also you will never have to remember anything.

I will always put a free downloadable practice guide in the description box below, so I thought the best way to help you in this lesson would be to talk about one of my recent students. Paul, who like so many golfers was basically falling into the Cardinal trap. I'll start with the IR first and we'll move on to the driver, so basically Paul, like so many players, does this, you know, when he comes down, this shaft starts to set. in a very steep position on the way down, if you've seen any of my videos you'll notice that the best players don't do this, the best players swing in a beautiful circle and they do it because when the club comes down here Look , the stick is behind my hands.

What this allows you to do when the club is behind your hands is move the club around and basically when it's behind, look, we can throw it fine, but if the club on the way down is like that and starting is also too steep , there's no room, I can't throw it anymore and that's where we move, the elbow sticks out, we have a multitude of

things

that compromise your power, you and your cat swing effortlessly and it certainly compromises your direction, so when I saw Paul doing this, I wanted a drill that would help you get to a place where this axis was much larger, let's say just visualize a 45 degree angle, it's not quite there, but it's 45° so you can generate some speed without effort. so all I did really very simple was this.

I asked him to move the club back however this St. wanted and made him imagine what his hands needed to do. I told him: look why you put your hands in. I want you to imagine. You're pointing your butt straight at the target line and he likes it right, so why does that help Danny? He says, well, look at this if you understand the butt, what you're doing now, you're tilting it, so where is your butt pointing very quickly? point towards your body. I want you here to point the club first of all towards the ball, yes, and then as you get closer, I want you to point it directly towards the target line, another way to imagine this that is just as good and Some of my students prefer that this is imagine the elbow, see if you're making the club steep, your elbow starts to point very, very quickly towards the ground, yes, but if you imagine your elbow pointing directly towards the target, you're I'm going to place the club naturally in a brilliant position on the way down, this is your position of power, this is incredibly important, so initially I said to Paul, let's have that feeling, first, you've probably seen me doing this and what do you notice? over the clubface as I'm doing it, this clubface right now is still pretty open so you're probably expecting Paul to hit some to the right and he did, but I didn't care, I told him to do that first. the feeling of this movement here, the elbow pointing towards a tag, you just feel it and then you make some movements, okay, now he didn't know how to release it from here.

I'll get into that in a second because he wasn't there. He was used to this, but first I made him feel this movement and every swing he starts to get into this beautiful groove and a powerful position, so he goes and makes some shots just doing that and, pretty good, he made some shots and then he started to blink a little to the right side now he said, I'm definitely trying to look better on camera, but it's not perfect, so stage two in this process was going on right now, you get this feeling here, what happens next, well , all.

What you have to do is figure out what your hands have to do now, your hands and your arms have to do to take this club and return it beautifully to the golf ball. Well, now there are two phases to this. All I did with Paul was keep it really simple. Look, I don't want you to bring the club back to the ball using your wrist, this is weak, that's right, it's not powerful at all. All I want Paul to do is take this right end or the elbow, whatever image you prefer and as he moves towards a target, just do this, the club needs to do what it moves back to the ball, so do that the butt or the elbow is now pointing more toward or behind you right here, then you get the club back into the corner and basically square that club up, so look. this now I can hit beautifully down the line, okay, this is how you swing a golf club, okay, it's really very simple, now Paul wasn't used to this, so what we did was before moving on to the phase away, to which I go.

To get into a second, I just asked him to find a rhythm with this, so I asked him to do a couple of things. I'm going to do one of these, one two, so that he points his butt towards the target. I said one, two and then. What we're going to do is hit the butt towards us to throw the club out, okay, either the butt or the elbow, whichever you prefer, so it sounds like this, one two, and break it, okay, so we start doing . Some exercises now, what Paul did when he did this is he just enjoyed the process, he got into flow one, two and broke it, okay, and I just let him get on with it now.

I didn't ask him to do these, um, this guy. of non-stop swings, like I just showed you, he chose to do that because he just felt good, so he didn't set it up mechanically, he just did one, two, broke it and spent it and started getting that rhythm now. He started with

great

er accuracy, but he was not reaching the distance that he should still be reaching because this is the final ingredient and the one that is really very important for most golfers. Okay, so you started to put the stick now in the slot that you are.

Starting to get an idea of ​​how hands are supposed to work, the final piece is this and it's a killer. Actually, we're going to jump into action to show you that many players take their torso and as they go, Move through the forward shot now think about it this way I said breaking what is this club doing here the club is moving here towards our body that throws the club out and then look that's the speed right there, but if you move your body what are you doing? You're moving your butt this way too, putting down the stick.

Behind you you have stolen all your speed. Okay, so if you want speed, you have to understand that these hands and arms do this, they fit into the body here, but. so look, we have to learn to feel that catapult coming through that means your body this torso doesn't move forward it stays on the ball so everything I did with Paul gave him a simple feeling with this he settled here I said Bench his foot Trail turns his hips towards the target here and really extends his back now Paul has a lot of injuries, he has a lack of mobility, but he got into a position that was much more extended for him and he felt absolutely comfortable with it now look at this, when you are extended, look at this, now I can throw that club out wonderfully versus look at this, there is no power at all, so with Paul again I didn't complicate it too much.

I said look, you get the idea. know your destiny do a couple of exercises Bench foot TR turn hips towards target extend your back a little bit here now you go and he told me God I really feel like I can see that now what that would be like to actually swing the golf club , whereas this doesn't and what we did, which is actually very important, is we ran it through a simple phase of this. I told him, look, feel it first of all, now I suggest whatever you are working on, just do it. This I had him stretch, turn, feel it and then he would go to the right.

This is what you do. Paul feels the difference. That's where you need to be good. He walks towards the golf ball. It's OK now. And he feels that movement. And all of a sudden, he starts to really stretch out and starts generating so much speed and power in his shots and he did exactly the same thing with the driver. Well, with a driver there is no difference. You keep doing the same thing with your balls forward, but he looks, your butt is going down. you're taking that back here here look back at your body here and look when we're here very, very important if you're doing this with the driver you're stealing speed but you're also going to crash him into the grass Paul felt this immediately as he followed this process , do it in stages.

I promise it will help tremendously one of the biggest flaws in golf so I hope you enjoy this video, if you give it a thumbs up maybe share it with one of your friends and of course check out if you're new on the channel, your first lessons from me, consider subscribing, watch if you want to know how to hit the driver much more directly, so more videos on how to drive a St, check out these two.
