Unravel the lead hand under you

For driver or irons, the instructor winds the club up while keeping its balance, then unravels it back underneath the body instead of doing something with the hands. He says the lead hand goes back under the body, the club is held in balance, and the finish returns to balance.

Try it

  1. winding the club up
  2. unwinding it back underneath me
  3. do the whole thing with the towel
  4. not by flicking my wrists
  5. lead hand it's going back underneath my body

Why this context matters

He applies the towel-balance feel back to normal driver/iron swings.
