In today’s video, we’ll show you how golfers manage to derail their swings due to “freezing” their hands. This is a common mistake within golf, so if you do this in your golf swing don’t feel bad!
If you want to improve your golf swing, this video is for you 👊

I was handle dragging for a long time (I think this is what you’re referring to). Once I learned to rotate, everything changed. More speed, more distance, more consistent, and not as hard on my arms at impact.
Great post, gents!
After all the basic fundamentals are pretty much ingrained. A person I believe has to have the force at the bottom. Like skipping a stone. Whenever I practice that motion everything seems to work for me. To do it my knees have to work properly for a good weight shift. And I really don't have to think about my hands at the bottom.
I’d say the biggest issue is people obviously know they need to come from the inside to not slice it, but they just leave it stuck behind themselves.it’s not drop to the inside and just leave it there. This concept has been around for centuries but recently the “Malaska move” or “over the top from the inside” or simply dropping inside and squaring the face is key to a good swing plane, a square face at impact and consistency with less timing required. Then you can have a bit more of a “throw” release that allows the club to be square for a lot longer before, through and a little after impact compared to rotating or flipping through impact which needs absolutely perfect timing to make work. Many tour players have adopted this more of a “throw” release vs the old days you saw more flip style releases on tour, either can work but one is easier and more consistent. The Over the top from the inside feel also has been being used by many tour pros like Rory. Inside but not stuck and relying on a quick flip.
Are these shorts from videos that haven't published yet? They are great but it would be nice to have the full video linked to watch it after the short! 🙂
I never realized how inactive my hands were until I started watching your YouTube videos and then joining AMG+. I might as well of tied up my hands with how little I used them. I feel your severely limiting speed by having passive hands and certainly accuracy, imo. Is the body important? Heck yeah, but you better learn to use your hands properly or you will never play great golf, again imo. I would bet those who are very good at golf and say they only use their bodies learned to train their hands first and now can basically just think about what the body is doing.
Can you link the video? I definitely have that passive hand feel and my right shoulder is way over active and I end up with a double cross. Would be great to watch the full video on the motions you're talking about.
Please do a detailed video on point 3 face squaring through forearm rotation. Pros vs ams maybe? Thanks
Thee Only way I was ever to not use my hands in striking a golf ball was to have an overly strong grip position,, top of left hand facing skyward right hand dangerously underneath.. it was called the Jerry Heard swing. All hinging and unhinging the wrists straight back and forth which kept the left wrist somewhat flat. Any rotation of the hands and "quack quack", another low duck hook. Definitely a different method, played off the trail leg and a very flat swing! Funny enough, former PGA tour player Jerry Heard didn't actually swing that way, lol!
Do you guys at AMG ever hear of that method?
David Duval, one of my favorite tour players years ago, also had that over/under extremely strong grip position, any forearm or hand rotation at impact and it's left, I mean way left too!
Anymore and I try to keep it two and a half, maybe three visible left hand knuckles as I feel too strong, for me anyways, actually costs me power. Are you guys at all familiar with "equal and opposite grip pressure" as explained by Pete Cowan and actually used by Rory Mcillroy? Many golfers, including myself, had no idea about wringing both hands inward.
