hands in relation to lag and club release

[ed from nh]

just listened to mvmac on right leg action in the golf swing (great lesson by the way) but watching thr players swing im so concious of their hand position when they drop into the slot and the action when they release the club i hear there should be no concious working of the hands but they all look as if their firing really hard with thrie right side and hand im 67 struggle to play to my 12 and have gone to a fairley smooth swing concentrating on balance and a strong release through the impact zone am I looking for trouble concentrating on my right side and hand release

Personally, I find lag created by backswing momentum keeping the clubhead back and then focusing on my hip action to lead the downswing. I do fire with my right hip. If I fire with my right hand (which feels like it would be effective) I end up just retarding the whip of my hands at release.
