Are Your Hands Deep Enough?

LPGA Instructor and author Christina Ricci shows how improving your hand depth will help you with avoiding slices and pull shots off the tee.

In Summary:

Check your setup: Many players set up with open shoulders, leading to shallow hand paths and poor shots.

Square up your chest: Position your chest slightly closed behind the club head to facilitate a deeper backswing.

Importance of rotation: Squaring the setup aids in better rotation and aligns hands with the trail shoulder.
Avoid arm-driven backswing: Don’t let arms dominate; keep arm structure aligned with the torso to prevent casting.

Ideal hand position: Hands should be in front of the torso during the backswing, not passing it.
Key tip: Setup and hand-torso alignment crucial for consistent and effective golf swings.

This is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been wanting some ideas for golf exercises - and these are perfect! Thank you 😊

I just joined , maybe a week ago. LOVE IT. Love all the lessons and that you can search for. You can search specific topics and pull up several lessons.

I don’t know what I would do without your site - it has been so beneficial to improving my game!

The advantage over other lesson websites are the member groups: the lesson one for a quick lesson or two and the fun of feeling connected to female golfers around the world through the social group.

I have improved my game greatly with your lessons online. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to play better golf! Thank you for a great website!

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.
