Back of the Hand

Where does the back of your hand point at impact?

Mine points down the target line.

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.
