Hand Position at address

[longball]

recently at the driving range, someone noticed that hands were actually behind the ball at address. he said that this would cause alot of bad shots because i would sway alot on my downswing to compress the ball. if I have my hands forward at address then it's easier to compress the ball and i won't sway as much. I tried it and it worked ok, but does this make any sense and is it worth making the change or should i just forget about it? thanks.

Don't listen to people who have NO IDEA.

This guy has NO IDEA.

Vardon

Sarezen
Hagen
Hogan
Nelson
Snead
Palmer
Player
Woods

Does this guy realize that the hips are about 5 inches further forward at impact, then they were at address?

IT DOES NOT MAKE HAVING THE HANDS IN A GOOD IMPACT POSITION ONE LITTLE BIT EASIER.

ZEro.

No idea.


Whew!
