PGA Advanced Fellow Alistair Davies breaks down Justin Rose's signature 'hands low' practice move to help golfers achieve a better downswing sequence. By keeping the chest closed and dropping the hands toward the kneecap, players can create an inside-to-out club path and improve ball-striking consistency. The video also demonstrates how to use the Tour Striker Smart Ball to maintain arm structure and prevent 'spinning out'.
Feel the hands drop straight down from the top of the backswing to a position below the kneecap.
Keep your back facing the target as long as possible during the initial move of the downswing.
The arms and hands should ideally be in a straight line around the 5 o'clock position in the follow-through.
Using a training aid like the Smart Ball helps keep elbows close together, providing better face control and power.
Exaggerated practice swings are essential for overriding old muscle memory and feeling new dynamic movements.
