Golf Swing Technique; Swing like you have NO HANDS!

br> Are you looking for a new golf swing technique to help correct your slice or hook? Try to swing like you don’t have hands.

Many people instinctively snap up the club with their hands and arms in the back swing and flip, push, snap, crackle, and pop, in the downswing.

Manipulating your hands isn’t necessary. It actually decelerates the club and the leading edge of the club will start moving up (which is also bad). All the hands and wrist have to do is hold on.

The back swing with proper golf swing technique starts with a rotation of the shoulders which pulls the front arm up and into a position parallel to the ground. The weight of the club will cause a natural hinging of the wrists.

Your golf down swing should not be started by the hands, start the down swing with your hips. The centrifugal force caused by your hips will then pull your arm, which in turn pulls the club. The club is automatically released as a result of the combination of the angle your arm retains and the power caused by centrifugal force. You don’t have to force the club to release, or catch up with your arm, the motion your body is making forces it to do so.

Hinging and unhinging during your swing should automatically happen as a consequence of the force generated by swinging the club. It’s a basic part of the swing that shouldn’t be forced in any way.

Once you successfully remove your hands from your swing, you will find you will start hitting straighter more powerful shots.

Remember: hand manipulation leads to deceleration which means loss of power and hand manipulation make squaring up the club face more difficult and will create slice or hook spin.

Next time you are on the driving range, make sure you try to swing like you don’t have hands.
