I completely agree on hands in front of clubhead-you can’t really think about it while you’re swinging. Thinking about not flipping or getting handsy during the swing is tremendously helpful to me.

While it might be a helpful thought, good chances are if you filmed yourself on two consecutive swings, one where you thought "dont flip" and one where you thought about something else (or nothing) the two swings will most likely look identical and you probably will have flipping in both of them if that's an issue for you.

I cannot express how this downplayed factor by instructors should be a part of your basic fundamental understanding of the shaft loading and unloading in the golf swing to massively aid in swing speed and power. 
For 6 years of playing golf and struggling to find that consistency and extra power, it finally dawned on me that feeling the shaft “load” at the end/top of the backswing and then having a fast enough tempo to hold that load down and through (“unload”) the golf ball is a major factor in creating club speed and gain distance without a single doubt.

This why it’s important, if you are serious about getting better, to choose shafts that you can “load and unload” with your Swing tempo; meaning choosing the right shaft flex and stiffness. 
This downplayed factor which is hardly ever spoken of on YouTube and most instructors, which is very surprising to me, should and must be a part of every basic lesson.

I cannot express how important it is to learn to feel the shaft load and unload to create more power.

 

I have come back . And I agree . Bending the shaft gives you feel. How do u know where the kick point is without trying it .

Why would you care if you are hitting it good already?

Are freaking kidding? 

Tell your teaching pro about how you can "feel the kick point" and see what reaction you get. It'll be a very short discussion.

Smashes ball down the middle of the fairway.

“ Man I love these 3 piece balls!’

Your ball Is actually a 2 piece one.
