The Biggest Secret in Golf

photo credit: SD Dirk   The greatest players that ever played the game, all had fast hands.  No matter how well you execute the swing you have to have fast hands to hit it long.

As the clubhead enters the impact area, located about a foot or so behind the ball, the hands whip the club (release).  A powerful and well executed release generates a tremedous amount of clubhead speed and is the true secret to hitting it long.  The difficult part is coordinating a powerful release while retaining good balance.  The players that have this capability are the true standouts in golf.

The left hand controls the club throughout the golfswing, it’s job is not to generate hitting power (clubhead speed).  The right hand’s responsibility is to generate power through the hitting zone.
