Can you imagine adding 20 yards instantly and without any additional effort? This happened to me when I was taught to make this simple golf swing move – swing the “hands in”.
Hands In is just simple golf code for taking the club back on a circle instead of swinging straight back and straight thru. The golf swing is a circle and provides us with plenty of power and accuracy if we know how to swing the club properly on an arc.
Tons of sports use the same philosophy of “hands in” to hit with more power – football kickers and soccer players hit the ball from an angle instead of kicking in a straight line. They realize they store much more power this way. You have more power because – imagine the hypotenuse of a triangle. The hypotenuse is the longer line. The straight baseline of the triangle is SHORTER than the hypotenuse. If you kick or hit in a straight line, you limit your distance potential because you don’t cover nearly as much ground as you would swinging the hands in (on the hypotenuse).
Science aside, I think you’ll enjoy swinging the club in for tons of reasons, here are some of my favorites:
1. Frees up your body to turn meaning less stress on your body and increased golfing longevity.
2. Effortless power since you are accessing the power of the swing arc without having to take the club back so far. The ball is just going to explode off your clubface.
3. Easier to hit from the inside – no need to “drop the club in the slot” on the downswing because you are already “in the slot” in the backswing. Less lifting and dropping means less reliance on hand-eye coordination. More consistency for you!
4. The feeling of impact is BUTTERY AND CRISP. Before I swung this way, I didn’t know you could hit the ball THAT clean. If you thought you hit the ball clean in the past, wait till you try this.
5. More distance, more accuracy, MORE FUN!
Are you still skeptical? I was too. I decided to give it a try because I had nothing to lose. I am so glad I gave it a shot. My game turned around completely for the better when I switched to swinging the club this way.

Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.
