Ok I have several questions about this? #1. Does it mean the back of my left hand is pointed at the ground at impact? If so then my swing has to be really steep. #2. if this is a good idea is it true for my driver?

The back of your left hand should be facing the initial target (where you want the ball to start in it's flight path).  Think of your left hand as in a parallel plane to the club face.  You want a flat left wrist/back of hand (for a righty) at impact in front of and leading the club face.

The 'knuckles down' thought is intended to generate lag and set you up for proper impact position.  Look for 'pump drill,' same effect.  In general, as you approach impact, think about keeping the face of your fist (proximal phalanx) toward the ground longer.

Imagine the player above continues his move into the ball without unhinging his wrists, the shaft being parallel to the ground and his left knuckles facing the ground.

Knuckes down makes you release the club properly and not flip it. That's it.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
