Hands in the Golf Swing

Understanding how deep your hands should be in the backswing is essential for a powerful and efficient swing. Ideally, your hands should be positioned around shoulder height or slightly above when you reach the top of your backswing. This depth allows for a full shoulder turn while keeping the club on plane.

If your hands are too high, it can lead to an overly steep downswing, causing inconsistencies in your ball striking. Conversely, if your hands are too low, you may struggle to generate enough power and control. Focus on maintaining a balanced position with your hands at the right depth, allowing for a smooth transition into your downswing and ultimately leading to better shot consistency and distance.
