description below take you to their website check them out just try to help
out love you guys so we're talking hand position a critical component in the
golf swing and if you don't do it right you're really going to get yourself in a
lot of trouble unnecessary trouble is what I say and so we're gonna start here
chipping short game here's the thing I see a lot of this all right with people
you know chopping wood basically on the short game so this will get you in
trouble there's there's always a scenario in a case where yeah you
wouldn't want your hands way forward this isn't one of them your basic chip
shots are going to be Center okay when I say center like bellybutton sternum
chest nose everything in the center of your body all right some of you might
have a nose off to the side of your face so that wouldn't be your center pick
something that's in the middle of your body
right in here is where you want to be if you never put your hands forward when
you're chipping you will be better off than if you put them forward okay if
you're here you're fine all right you don't have to be up here so that would
be center of my body here this is a 60-degree wedge everything Center and
I'm controlling the bottom of my swing arc by my weight where is my weight okay
notice if I move my way back well then the club's gonna hit back here so I want
to feel the weight that's how you know by the way how far to lean forward how
much weight to put on your front foot so if everything's in the center now I'm on
a little uphill slope right so more weight on my back foot and everything's
feeling like it's behind the ball I just lean forward until that that bottom of
my swing arc is now at the ball all right perfect but my hand stayed the
center right my hands stay in the center of my body they're forward of the ball
weight forward body forward there you go and everything's going to be be good
hands still in the middle of my body okay so that's these little chip shots
and even like a pitch shot would be the same thing it would just be a longer
swing longer Falls which is that's your pitch shot but even the little the
little tiny chips right here okay I might back the ball up a little okay but
I'm not doubled down on my hands right don't double down and golf Center you
could back it up but my hands haven't come more forward when I backed the ball
up so my hands chipping pitching always in the center right in here and then
control everything with the weight of where you're putting your body weight
okay the bottom of your swing are controlled by the weight how about
bunkers what do you do that let's go check it out so now you're in the trap
where are your hands when you're here again if you find yourself in the trap
and you're up here hey hands way forward you're gonna have
problems so many things are gonna go wrong for your life if your hands are
way up here because now just know this general rule of thumb the more you put
your hands forward The Closer that hosel gets to hitting that ball first you
don't want to lead with the hosel that equals shank so we don't want that so
again what I'm doing here in the sand see if you can see is wide stance what
we're talking about hand position here okay again hands are going to be in the
center and then I my weights forward but my hands stay Center right on my belt
buckle right here that way I'm not shoving that hosel closer to that ball I
want it back here and I don't even hate I don't hate this if your back like if
your hands are more back in the sand that's better than the other then the
other way and that thing let straight up in the air that was great because you
need height out of the bunker more often than not so bunker you don't want to be
up here with your hand on your left pocket you don't want that when it belt
belt buckle Center or back of Center that's not it looks weird I know it
feels weird but it's not horrible and you're not going to hit a shank doing
that actually the more back it goes if you think about it
right think about this when you put the handle forward you leave with the hosel
you don't want that right but as you back it up now you start leading not
with the leading edge but you start leading with the bounce of the club and
you're in the bunker and that's what you want to use this guy down here and so as
that handle comes back the bounce starts leading leading the swing the club ball
so now hosel leads bounce leads and bounce is better than hosel when you're
in the bunker so bunker general rule thumb you know do all your normal stuff
weight forward everything like that hand center or back here is fine you know you
don't have to you could lean down a little bit it all depends on the slope
and angle of that sand trap but for the most part Center or slightly back of
center for the sand let's keep it moving so now we got to go over the bunker
going high same situation just note this anytime you want to go high the hands
got to come back back it's gonna be better than forward right there's a time
for this specialty situation but you don't need it it's it's a Ferrari okay
you might want it but hey let's stick with the minivans and the stuff that lug
you your junk around with all right you might not look as cool but you're gonna
get everywhere get everybody safe kids are in you got all your stuff with you
all your people are your your clubs in the truck like that's what we're looking
for here SUV minivan station wagon shots and you can even look you take your
station away a lot of places all right you don't need a name Ferrari in golf so
get this out of your mind cuz that can happen and you don't want
that that's what you don't want okay so I'm backing everything up back my hands
up you're right in there similar to the bunker shot and you get a nice high shot
so this would be this is even your flop shot okay nice wide stance you could
tilt your shoulders depends on the height you're going for open the face up
but anytime you open the face so this I'm opening in the face hands forward
I mean I'm gonna hit it with the dang shaft almost hands back that's what you
want same as a bunker we see this way too much man it's killing the game of
golf get those hands back just think okay I'm taking the the minivan to go
get my family and there you go it's a pretty nice minivan if you ask me
alright that's what I'm saying so if you if you do it right your minivan can
perform as good as any other car out there on the market but this ain't gonna
help you here or even slightly back on these super high ones let's keep it
going ok puttting is a great mystery in the
game of golf but here's something we would need to understand is every time
you set up when you pot if you put your hands forward
you're either shutting that face or if you keep that putter flat on the ground
it's going to open the face both of those are gonna kill your putting
percentages so we don't want to do that I'd also if you go back you're adding
loft on the face of that putter which is gonna shoot that ball straight up in the
air it's gonna get too high and it's not gonna roll correctly again forward is
gonna shove that ball in the ground if you shut that face it's gonna hit and
bounce and roll that's no good either so really important you definitely want
hands and everything right down the center of everything and then you know
you're gonna have the best possible chance to roll one in if you do that at
least you hit the hole right so try to have it hanging you know hang put your
hands together that's where your your hands go when you're putting hang hands
grip putter go that's how you know all right hang it hanging relax together
you're rolling right there that's where your hands go when you're putting so
what about your your hybrids out of the fairway
where do you want these surely you want your hands forward here right right here
no no bueno we also want these Center okay the only difference here we're just
gonna get a slight right lateral band here okay nice wide stance balls for but
I want my hand Center Center right here it just quiets everything down when
you're when you're swinging if you're here I mean you're gonna have a super
strong grip most likely it's really going to affect your entire swing and
it'll whip that thing way inside here and you'll be shot I mean it's gonna be
a mess so when you Center eyes everything okay
it just allows you to take that one piece take away and then it's easy just
to keep a nice smooth swing when you're Center eyes here and that's all you're
looking for when you're out of the fairway with your hybrids let's keep it
going okay so what about the ever so important
tee shot what do you do with your hands in this situation where do they go do
you want to go forward look again every time you go forward you start bringing
the heel closer to the ball you don't want the heel close to the ball you
don't heal things and with driver especially you start doing that the face
is opening way up so a lot of people who put their hands forward shut that face
way down they they look something like this okay and then they hit way down on
the ball and you see these guys I mean maybe you're one of them you're here and
you bring it way in here super shut face and you're coming down on that ball it's
all because there's something you're doing in your swing like you're slicing
it or something so you start manipulating your golf swing to account
for what's going on or you're manipulating the club
to make it work but just take a photo of yourself and then match it up to anybody
on tour they don't do that hands are where this is how I setup for the driver
I put the ball in the center of my stance I put the club behind the ball I
mean this is in my belt okay and I take a little step here and a big step here
and that's where my hands go so my hands are
I mean maybe an inch I had in my Center here's my center I take a little step
here and a big step here and then I grab but it's really Center I mean it feels
Center it might be you know once it's all said and done it's about an inch or
two ahead of my belly button right in there okay but it's not here this is
gonna kill your game and it's again this is better than this so for driver that's
just that's how I set up put everything in the center little step big step then
let everything hang and I'm slightly as you can see I'm right up here my head my
hands are right up for my eye my face ball is on my left ear and now I could
take that one piece smooth takeaway hands forward you're whipping it inside
in here you're doing all this crazy stuff you're getting real handsy with
this type of setup you can just take it back and look like well hopefully
somebody good and there you go that's your driver setup so did we cover every
single possible scenario ah no we didn't cuz we didn't cover that why would I
ever want my hands forward Wow okay hands super forward like that with let's
say a chip and run are are good from time to time if the situation calls for
it but it's very rare you can always do the same thing from here okay so the
only time your hands would be that far forward would be if you know certain
grass certain situations the ball sitting way down deep then
you might want to consider doing something like that but if you never do
it you're gonna be fine like I said earlier that's the Ferrari
shot stick with the mini man all right that's a hand position Marcus
