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.
