Insights & Tips - Which Hand to Use for Power and How to Understand Tutorial Videos
The power of a golf swing comes from the core muscles in the waist and abdomen. The hands deliver the power and control the swing, with adjustments made to the arm and wrist movements depending on the desired trajectory. Golf swing techniques vary across different schools of thought and continue to evolve. Every golfer’s physical condition is unique, which also influences the use of arms and wrists.
Many golfers learn swing techniques by watching video tutorials and studying professional players in slow motion. It's important to understand the intended trajectory to better grasp the technical details.
When watching slow-motion videos, it’s essential to observe from multiple angles and focus on understanding the power mechanics and technical details of the entire motion. For instance, during the release phase, to fully throw the club, the right wrist will sling freely while relaxed. Seen from behind, some golfers might interpret this as active force from the right wrist. Remember, "Don’t mistake the result for the purpose."
