How does knuckles down tie in with ulnar deviation?

I’ll try this , hopefully I can do it correctly and stop slicing the ball.

Hi Michael, I don't generally have a problem with my driver, but assume that the drills you demonstrated should also work for irons and hybrids, as well. Yes? I'm 72 y/o, loss of distance has become a problem and drawing the ball gives me at least a bit more distance.

It would really help to see your final swing from the front in slow motion to watch the knuckle down motion in action.

Great tip.

Is there any issue with turning the knuckles down on the backswing as opposed to timing the twist move midway through the downswing?
