One of the least understood elements of the swing is the position of the bottom hand (right hand for righties) in the backswing. Getting your right hand working correctly is a major key to hitting longer, straighter shots. Swing a club halfway back, and open your right hand on the grip.
Your palm should be at a 45-degree angle to the ground.
This forces your right elbow down, putting it in a powerful, hinged position, and means the clubface has stayed square to the swing path.
From there, your chances of producing power and accuracy are good.
