How do you generate any power hanging back?

I thought that, at least with irons, - one wants to have hands ahead of golf blade at impact. If that is correct🙏why the difference with driver?
Thanks

With the ball on the ground contact should be made with a slight downward angle of attack. This requires hands forward of the ball at impact. With driver, the ball is teed up off the ground and optimal performance is attained with a slightly upward angle of attack which adds a little loft to the already low lofted face and reduces the backspin on the ball. Added loft results in higher launch trajectory with longer carry which is aided by lower backspin rate not causing shot to" ballon" and lose distance

The mission of golf is to start the face square at address, swing the club, and bring it back to square. If you do that, the ball will go straight every time. If the hands are too far forward, the face will be open. Too many students try to move forward ahead of the ball to rotate or shift their weight prematurely and the face never has a chance to get to the ball. Trust me on this. Try the drill. Square up the face and you will hit it straighter than you ever have. The body will always follow the face. I am not saying the body will not move. It does.

When you do this drill on the ground with an iron, move the ball back inn your stance a little. It still works.

Did you shift your weight at all on the downswing? I froze the first frame after ball contact, and I could see the heel of your left foot still slightly elevated./Users/peterhoffmann/Desktop/Screenshot 2023-12-19 at 8.42.59 PM.png

I normally lift my left heel to start my backswing now I’m just gonna focus on trying to keep it up and see if it works

I promise it works. Keep it up the whole time and release the face. You will hit the ball straight.

I used to do this and because of a lot of other micro adjustments I lost it. Went to the range and got it back. Your drill was right on. It even helped be get my sequencing back on bunker shots!
Thanks!

So, I understand the process, but a little confused as to the degree/amount of openness for the fade , and closure for the draw. Does it depend on the target point you chose 2nd?
