Tips for turning hands over. . . .

[Bug Bunny]

I'm having trouble turning my hands over with my driver. I've practiced a few drills but still can't get consistent. Any tips on helping me do this consistency??

I've had the same problem but am slowly getting better. I just keep thinking to myself make my left knuckles (right handed) point to the ground just after I hit the ball. Seems to work ok for me, but would be different for every person!

Here's my advice: don't turn your hands over with the driver.

Thanks Erik. I'll give it a try at the range tomorrow.

check your grip and grip pressure, the backswing will help set your wrist in position so that on the impact the wrist and hand will automatically turn over. The drill I practice is with the shaft down the line with the toe pointing up and the face perpendicular to the target helps set the wrist in the right position for the backswing. A drill you can practice is take the club back to hip high and forward to hip high and feel the wrist automatically turn over at and after impact. you can hit wedge shot with this motion focus on making solid contact and watch the direction of the ball, slices and hooks will be revealed as well as push and pull shots. This drill is to practice the impact zone and to feel the hands turn from square to square.

The term "release" has caused more confusion than just about any thing in golf. I think of the release as the natural consequence of your body moving left and turning through the shot. You feel the release of the whole body, the free feeling of the club swinging around and through the shot. If you think about it, the further forward your hips go the more the club approaches from inside the line. Then the turn flings the club naturally into the impact postion. You can hit nice easy draws and finish with the club face never turning over at all, a hold off shot. However, normally the post up and clearing move will automatically result in the right side extending and the club appearing to have been "released," but this is not something the hands have done in a good swing. It happens because the body moved and the club was swung naturally. A golf club wants to turn through the shot all on its own, you do not have to do anything at all to square it up -- if the rest of your swing is a good one. If you are trying to square the club with your hands, your are hitting "at" the ball, not swinging through the ball.
