Hand path

Hello Tom, you made the hand path video on youtube and in reference to that is it an okay feeling to imagine the alignment sticks on the ground and try to visualize tracing that hand path as I’m turning my chest and hips in the back swing? is that a good back swing thought that will help with getting consistency in what to feel and how the body moves in a circle? Thanks

Hi Tom, thank you for the info. Once I can get someone to film my swing I want to do a V1 lesson with you.

im trying to get a consistent feel in my backswing and I think this could be a good feel to internalize.

The video I was looking at was the birdseye view one. I love the drone footage. If I lay the alignment stick on a slight diagnol inward with the ball in the middle and then another alignment stick on a slight angle the opposite direction and trace that hand path and then visualize it out on the course that is going to be the idea of the drill?

Replying to

Yes - that will work. But when concentrating specifically on the backswing I also like the imagery provided by laying down two parallel sticks angled slightly inward - the inner one representing the hand path and the outer for the club path. It helps you to envision and simulate the drone view from that video.

Hi Ryan - Yes, absolutely! I would not "imagine" those sticks on the practice tee; I suggest actually laying them on the ground as I regularly do. It's so important to have the hands and clubface working in concentric circles, and the sticks will really help you in this regard.

By the way, out of curiosity which hand path episode were you referring to? Was it this one with the bird's eye view from above or this one about hands in/club out?
