Your Hands Are the Secret to a Better Golf Swing | Inside the M-System

Most golfers are told the game is all about the core, rotate harder, unwind faster, get stronger. But the truth is, the real secret to your golf swing starts in your hands. In this lesson, Mike Malaska breaks down why your grip, wrists, and fingertips are your biggest sources of speed, control, and consistency. What You’ll Learn in This Video: Why your hands, not your core, are the foundation of your swing The role of the grip and why the club must sit in your fingers, not your palm How the lever system of your wrists and arms creates speed and power How your body supports what your hands are already doing Why every great player is incredibly skilled with their hands and clubface control Key Takeaways: Your hands and grip control the clubface. Your wrists and arms generate speed through the lever system. Your body is a transport system, not the source of power.
