Confusing instructions and how the hand transitions.

Hi Golfpass People,
I see so many nice advices of Golfpass. But if the teachers perform their hints in real speed I often miss to see the details. The point: slow motion would be helpful; especially in this video tip.
Thanks for noting. Hans Rudolf, Germany

Why can't you ground the club in the sand. What is the purpose of that rule?

I agree with all the comments below. How do you turn from palm up karate chop to palm down?

Hi, my name is Darren Arnold. I live in Albuquerque, NM and I really enjoy the Golf Pass.
My question to you is, I have now started to turn my right palm up on the tee shot and the ball is slicing off to the right. I only do it with the driver, please help with suggestions.

I have the same comment as most of the others. Please illustrate slowly where the hand is in the "karate chop" position and where it is when it is turned downward. A little confusing at this point. Thanks much.

Finally...the first & only lesson to really describe how the club should actually be released that I have found in 30yr of golf instruction & playing.
It's also made that release the most comfortable & accurate - with speed I've never had - swing I've ever had.
Fun Golf again

I like the right elbow tucked in close comment because nothing can start properly until that elbow is tucked in close. Thanks for the get tip and i will let you know when i hit a good one!!
