In my younger days playing soft ball I was told I had slow hands in hitting the softball. My friend played minor league ball. He was small and hit it very far and said he had fast hands. I notice all the ball players that hit it far and who didnt still to this day do the same with the golf swing. Meaning I hit the ball 250 to 270 with a soft ball and with a golf ball 230 to 240. the guys that hit the softball 300 plus hit the golfball 300 yards plus. So I notice this with all the players I played with. Now me having slow hands I notice I do decelerate down to the golf ball. When I use my pivot my hands are always lagging and I hit behind or on the ball not infront of it. Now if I consitrate getting my hands quicker I do take a divot in front of the ball. Now I know your not suppose to start down with your hands but when I lead with my lower body my hands lag. What to do anyone?

Slow hands.
Basically, you sound like you are below plane when you "use" the pivot.
You need to practice with a plane board or a towel plane board and learn to do what you do with no pivot, with SOME pivot.
As far as the genetics, I can't help you with that, but there are training aids (Like the Power Swing) that can a little.

Does anyone remember Clapton?
Joe, your friends may have faster hands, but don't fall into believing that your hands are slow. You just haven't learned how to transfer the momentum from your pivot as efficiently as you need to.

Thanks Brian and Star. I tried starting the downswing with my l rib cage and my left hip but like I said hands stay back. I tried starting down with my left shoulder and my swing get in front of divot but I pick up. I think if I find the right down swing for me it will work. I`ll look into the power swing. Are you saying I have to swing more on plane not under?...joe
