To swing the golf club powerfully and consistently, you need to understand the critical role your hands play. Titleist staff member Joe Plecker explains the basics of club dynamics, including why the club is designed the way it is and how the swing path of your hands affects the way the clubhead releases. Learning that hand path can help create speed, more consistent contact and flushed iron shots.
Bad iron contact often comes down to one thing: how you move the handle. Plecker explains the difference between driving the handle incorrectly and allowing the club to release naturally, and how that change affects impact.
Joe also covers why driving the handle forward hurts iron contact, the correct hand motion and how to release the club properly, how to stop casting by moving the handle up and in, and the ideal impact position for the body and hands.
