How To Take Out The Hands During The Golf Swing (Video) - by Peter Finch

Using the analogy of the wheel with the sensor being the core on the outside, and the hands being out of the wheel, turning the body back and through can give the sensation that the hands aren't really being used as part of the overall technique. Now for some people this is a negative, but for some people actually it can be quite positive especially if you're a golfer who feels particularly nervous over some shots, you feel the grip tightening up. You feel that you're controlling and trying to steer everything with the hands using the core muscles to turn back in through can actually be a fantastic anecdote to this – antidote not anecdote. You don’t want to use this as anecdote, as an antidote to that, this can be a fantastic way to actually get the tension out of your game.

Now to use this, a great drill that you can have is just by having a towel just using it underneath one arm and underneath another so it forms – there's a little bit of a line across the center of the chest. Now as your arms pinch in and as you hold the towel in towards your body, you're not going to be able to move the arms around too much within the golf swing. The arms are going to stay very, very much connected to the actual body as you swing. Now when you pick the club up here, all you want to be doing is taking the tension out of your hands, so not gripping the arm very tightly at all. Getting set up into a posture position, and then from here what I want you to do is focus on keeping the arms in, pinch the towel underneath. And then turn the body back and turn the body through. You are not going to be able to get very full shots. I’ve got a 7-iron here. I will probably be shifting this about a hundred yards or so. So arms in, turning the core back, turning the core and just trying to power the overall technique by using the body. If you can do that and you can propel a 7-iron about a hundred yards, you have the ability to use the call more, and take the hands out of the shot. If you can do that like I said especially if you're a tentative golfer and you do try and steer, this could be a fantastic way to improve your striking and improve your overall smoothness and rhythm and tempo to your technique as well. 2016-10-28
