Have I ever said that before? (Only a million times, I hear you cry.)<\/p>\n

I got a lesson a few days ago in what happens if you DON’T do this.<\/p>\n

I went out to play nine and ran into an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while, so we went off as a twosome. <\/p>\n

He has a pretty good-looking swing, but let me tell you. Almost everything he hit was a chunk. Off the tee he was OK, because it’s hard to chunk the ball when it’s two inches off the ground.<\/p>\n

But on the ground, forget it. Irons, chunk. Pitches, chunk city. It would take him three shots to get onto the green from 100 yards because they were all chunks. <\/p>\n

So I decided to watch. Know what I saw? His hands quit right before impact and the clubhead led the way. EVERY time. <\/p>\n

I wanted so much to say to him, just do (this) and you’ll be fine. But you don’t say those things.<\/p>\n

I’m saying it to you, though, because I saw a classic example of what the clubhead leading the hands does for you, and it ain’t a pretty sight. <\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter who you are. GET THIS RIGHT. Learn to have your hands lead the clubhead. You can read about it in Six Fundamentals<\/em><\/a> (it’s Fundamental Five). <\/p>\n

Or you can do the towel drill<\/a> from a post I wrote almost three years ago. But LEARN IT. <\/p>\n

There is no way you will ever hit the ball well, consistently well, otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
