How Far?

[hcw]

How far in front of the clubhead should one's hands be at impact for a "standard" full swing shot with:

1) Driver
2) Long-iron
3) Mid-iron
4) Wedge


...TIA!

Grab your wedge (or whatever club) and get into an impact fix position. You can manipulate your hands from there to determine the proper amount of clubhead lag. Once those scoring lines "look" parallel to the ground that's the right spot.

Sole the club so that it's resting evenly on the bottom of the sole. There ya go.

Depends on the shot yes?

2m: not exactly sure what you are saying, but i think the score lines can be parallel with the club having infinite different lofts?

jimk: ok, that's what i'm needing i think...btw, did you ever find that post you were looking for?

birdie: i believe you are correct, that's why i said a "standard" full swing shot

are you talking about the bounce on the club, Jim?

That will put your hands behind the ball with the driver and produce a bent left wrist.

Yup, just like soling it more on the leading edge would be delofting the club. You need to sole the club so that you aren't putting the sole of the too bias to one side or the other.
