Are you telling me from feel or have you actually recorded your swing and saw it pointing down the target line? Also, is the back of your hand perpendicular to the ground or slightly facing downward or upward.

From going through my swing in slow motion in front of mirrors. The left hand position varies with the strength of the grip. I hit my driver with a very weak grip to fade the ball and help prevent hooking. So, at contact, the back of my left left hand is no more than 10 degrees up from vertical. I use a stronger grip with my irons, and would estimate my left hand is up 35-45 degrees from vertical.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
