TEEING OFF ‘No right hand’ slows swing It is important to swing slowly at first to feel the proper impact and to learn good swing tempo. The best way to achieve this slowing effect is with the right hand's power diminished. ■ Concentrate on swinging with as wide an arc as possible while maintaining control of the club. ■ Make several swings with a ball. ■ Notice how this drill helps prevent hooks. ■ Take your normal stance. ■ Put your right hand directly on top of your left (1). Leave your right forefinger on the shaft if you like. ■ Make several practice swings (2).
