This is a phrase that seems to have fallen completely from favour having been replaced with many modern trendy theories and video, or should I say, paralysis by analysis equipment.
Even in the days of Henry Cotton who was the main advocate of hands education, I don’t believe that the golf business really grasped the relevance or importance of such a brief statement. This concept, idea or whatever you would like to call it should be at the very hub of ALL golf instruction and theory.
The reason for this is really quite simple: ALL golfers attempt to hit the shot with arms and shoulders which overrides the two main movements of the swing, the body turn and the ‘snap’ from the wrists. ONLY by redirecting the wasted energy away from the arms and shoulders can a golfer make serious long term sustainable improvement, hence the term’ educating the hands’.
ALL modern players have fantastic hand action but very rarely does it get mentioned. Having trained their hands from an early age, the movement becomes a reflex action and not conscious. For the rest of us, the hands should be trained by way of specific drills until the day when they can be forgotten about (the drills should be revisited from time to time), but now they work correctly, they really deliver the blow, that final snap at the bottom of the swing just like all the best players.

Your explanations are excellent and explain so much! So many videos are trying to come up with"fixes" for poor form. Your explanation of the fundamentals and under utilization of the hands is brilliant.
