You’ll Never Swing the Same Again After Watching This Video!
Ethan Bramble from Handsy Golf explains the 'Hand-Handle-Face' (H-H-F) relationship, emphasizing the lead thumb's role in controlling the clubface toe. He demonstrates how proper lead thumb placement and a specific finger-to-palm pivot create a square face at impact. The video concludes with the 'Swing Wall Drill' to help golfers release the clubhead efficiently without scooping or flipping.
The lead thumb should be placed on the side (top trail side) of the handle to effectively support the club's weight and control the toe.
A slight cup in the lead wrist at setup helps align the fingers at a 45-degree angle to the handle for optimal pressure.
During the takeaway, the fingers should pivot behind the palm to keep the clubhead 'back of the handle' and square.
The handle should reach a 'wall' just inside the lead thigh at impact, allowing the lead thumb to 'snap' the face square as the clubhead passes the handle.
Consistent face control is achieved by managing the relationship between the palm, handle, and fingers throughout the swing.
