Here's a free golf tip that will help you play better golf. You hear a lot of golf instruction teaching you to make sure you lead with your left side, arm, etc... What about the right hand in the golf swing.
This golf tip may seem a little strange at first, but once you learn the secret, your short game is going to see a major improvement. When you set your right hand on the golf club, the majority of golf instructors will tell you that the right palm should face the target. I disagree somewhat. In the proper(stronger) golf grip, it is the heel of the right hand that faces the target, not so much the palm itself.
If you have the 'V' of the right thumb and forefinger pointed to your right shoulder, like it should, you will notice that the palm of the right hand is pointed a little towards the sky.
Oh, here comes the but, or should I say butt of the right hand. When you practice your chipping or pitching of the golf ball, be aware of the butt of the hand leading the palm through the ball. Hold on to that butt for as long as you can as you follow through to the finish. You just might find yourself making better contact with the golf ball. It will also keep you from trying to scoop the ball. You'll hold on to the wrist cock longer, which is great in the short game area.
If you practice this golf tip in your back yard or at the chipping green for some time, you will actually become aware of leading your golf swing by your butt... of your hand that is. It WILL become a guiding factor in how well you hit the ball. Your direction will become better and I think you just might discover what your golf swing should really feel like. Stick your butt out there and let it lead the way.
