mr martin this game is fun when u hit it solid and obv pretty miserable when u hit poorly.....im 41 and havent been very good.....i will play for awhile than just give up....i feel that i have potential....ive been messing around with my grip and ill hit good for awhile and than just lose it....even though ive played for years i still consider myself a beginner...do u have any words of wisdom...i know there are many that are like me

@ROBTGBBSS Rob, words of wisdom... get your hands on the club properly. Please don't take this lightly. A sound grip helps so much. The second thing would be to keep you backswing on the shorter side. Hitting it far is sexy, no doubt, but hitting it solid is really what the game is about once you can get the face on the ball with consistency, you will be able to "heat" things up to add some yardage. Third; allow your swing to touch the ground at and left of the ball. Fourth; 80% power works!

@cmartingolf, true, I can't think of one either that has impact hand location, however, do you honestly think there's a definitive speed difference in a two inch hand position difference at address?

[cmartingolf]

@tubularsensation Do I think there is a speed difference? Yes. I think you can load the shaft better by staring with "address" hands as opposed to "impact" hands. I'll have to do some testing and let you know. A definite benefit from "address" hands is that it reduces folks from whipping the clubhead inside and provides a better chance of a simple on-plane backswing.

[tubularsensation]

I have a question. Why wouldn't you just pre-set that impact position at address? Obviously, you might not be able to total pre-set an impact position, but why would you want to complicate your swing with such a different hand position at address -vs- hand position at impact?

[cmartingolf]

@tubularsensation Great question: why not set up at impact and return there? You can, I've seen some effective players do that and to agree with your point, Nicklaus, maybe the best ever, did a version of that setup. In most cases, starting at "address" and returning to "impact" provides much more energy and dynamics to the strike. I can't think of a current Tour player who sets up in an "impact" hand location? They drive through impact with a club ripping to align with the lead arm.

Question: Is it okay if my left wrist cups AFTER impact even though I have a forward leaning shaft and lag retention?

@cmartingolf Hmm i would think Steve Stricker would be pretty close..

Cmartin....thanks for the vid. I appreciate and watch all of your stuff. I have a chronic, CHRONIC, problem of coming in too steep right from the top. In my transition, my hands go out, and the shaft gets steep. Even when I feel like my hands are going down and the shaft is flat, they're really going out and the shaft is steep. I've spend hundreds on lessons and swing aids, and I can't stop it. If I REALLY try to get flat, then the club gets stuck, and I have NO power. Can you help???

No one has ever explained this like you have. Thanks
