This is something that is not talked about too often and is a huge problem among many golfers. It gets people stuck, causes big blocks, late flipping hooks and even the dreaded “El Hozel.”
There is such a huge movement toward swinging inside/out and lagging the club, no one sees this as a huge problem…and it is.
Peter, are you listening? 🙂

Naah you did not dare to say Peter! Yeah OK that’s me I get it. I am too talented to hosel it though. LOL
And another thing whos the guy in the trousers? We want Cargoman back!
Peter, Monte already earns that much money with his new teaching site, that he is able to have employees. This is not Cargoman, he only looks like, a little bit!
I wish that were true. 🙂
Ok, what is the cure for dropping the hands?
The general answer is make a proper shoulder turn and a make a proper release.
Monte,
how about the idea of exeggerating movements? If a player is suffering an over the top move, shouldn’t he try to drop hands extremely (feeling) just in order to improve a little (reality)?

I used to buy into this theory as it was taught to me…but I found it’s bad. It’s a quick fix mentality.
I wrote about it 2 weeks ago.

Oh and furthermore, I’d like to hear your thoughts on the so called one plane swing (as shown by Singh), which doesn’t require handdropping by definition. Shouldn’t that simplify things for the average bloke?

I hate discussing one and two plane swings because people will try and pigeon hole themselves into one.
My idea is work n fundamentals and your body will work into one of them automatically.
Understood, thanks. Will keep working on my arm extension and shoulder turn then…
