Good hands V body swings!

[Coldtopper]

Any Aussies with a good set of hands on tour atm? In the past many of the top players had great hands and able to hit all types of shots making them great strikers of the ball. Anyone seen a flusher worthy of a mention? Plenty of swingers around but they are boring as imo!

What are you talking about, bungee?

[virge666]

I think he is looking for shotmakers. not bomb and gouges.

Anthony Summers comes to mind.

compare Garcia v Scott actions. Plenty of other examples the very fact that some may not know about describing a players hands in thier action player may answer the question.

The difference nketween Scott and Sergio IMO is Scott locks his wrists at the top whereSergio increases his wrist flex during the downswing. Everything else is similar. Nothing to do with hands, they are part of the club.

The term good hands refers to a players hand action through the ball! Its not that complicated. Bowditch has a fair set of hands

And a great mono brow

I know, it makes no sense when the hands are holding the club and the wrists are the medium through which the power is transmitted to the club head.

I wonder if Lefty can offer some advice here? Surely fashion includes a little manscapping!

There are always some players who have extreme strength and flexibility in their wrists. These players give the impression that their wrists are doing most of the work. Allen Doyle is one who comes to mind. Check out his swing on u tube.

He is a potential champion, hots it out of sight. Our amateur program is turning out real talent in recent years. I'm fortunate to get to play with the 2013 Aust Amateur Champ and see the talent first hand.

I am a hacker, but are you referring to releasing with the hands (flipping) vs releasing with the body?

I'm also a massive chopper, but releasing the club with the hands and flipping are 2 different things.......

Hogan in his book " Five Lessons....." (lesson 4) states in capital letters - The main thing for the novice or average golfer is to keep any conscious hand action out of the swing. The correct swing is founded on chain action, and if you use the hands when you shouldn't, you prevent this chain action.

No. Talking about a player who releases the club head and can move the ball both ways and adjust flights at will with out changing set up postion as an simple example of the characteristics of a hands player. These players can adjust the swing mid motion to compensate for being out of postion occasionally!

Don't confuse hands with forearms and upper arm technique both of which influence how the wrist joint works to move the hands (and the club). It is not the other way around.

[TheNuclearOne]

Here's an example or two of the hands player.

Maybe you can change the way that describes a golf swing and defines a players shotmaking abilities!

Aoki in his prime was the best of best nice post TNO! Still recall his 28 on the back nine in the 88 Coke Cola classic at RM! Amazing talent. Plenty of great ball strikers in Japan during this period
