Do you PULL DOWN on the handle?

[@jordanelmquist3202]

Just for clarification through all the different thoughts/feels in golf instruction. What would be the difference of the thought of pulling the hands to the trail pocket vs what he is currently doing? Is it just a matter of his hand depth?

That’s an interesting question. Like you seem to be alluding to, the more downward/less outward hand path matches more with less depth in backswing. To me, it looks this guy is also getting too narrow with the arm structure and wrist structure coming down which contributes to steepness. My perception of it is the hip pocket sortve feel is a combination of arms lowering, trail arm lengthening while wrist angles are more constant and not going into more extension like the example in this video contributing to the steeper shaft pitch

Big difference between having someone “feel” more hand speed downward if they need it, versus someone who accomplishes too much of it in reality. Any move can be overdone, no matter how good it’s considered to be. The thought you’re referring to is only useful in scenarios where the player’s chest is over active in transition and their hand path works outward too much, otherwise, not a great feel IMO long term.
