First question post here...

I have always had this feeling of a pulling with my left hand in the golf swing, namely with the last 3 fingers of the left hand. I think it has stopped me from progressing past where I am now (fairly descent player, ex college golfer).

I feel like my hands get to far ahead of the club coming down, or maybe I should say the left hand feels so tight that the club doesn't always release naturally. Any tips or suggestions to get the club working more like a club?

I'll try to post video when I can get some uploaded.

Thanks

Do you have a strong grip?

It seems to me that you can pull as hard as you want with the left hand (and 3 fingers), and if you have a wedding ring up swivel you will release JUST FINE.

But if you have a really strong grip then you'll have to keep the hands ahead and sort of block everything in order to prevent yourself from releasing - but in this case the problem would start with the grip, not with pulling with your left hand.
