What hand should be stronger during a swing?

Question

I swing left but am right handed. When I swing I feel that my right hand is doing more than my left. Is this normal, since I swing left. Even when I try to swing right, I still feel my right handed is doing more work.

Answer 1

I would get your left hand to be as strong as your right by working out, or just lay back on your right hand. It probably feels a little akward to have the opposite hand doing the work.

Answer 2

This is an interesting question. I don't know whether this is right or not but I've been playing golf for more than 20 years and my handicap is six.

I'm right handed. I found that when I hit the ball especially with driver using more with left hand, the ball goes to the right, and with right hand the ball goes to the left. I then try to use both hand equally and it works pretty well.

There's a small difference when I hit the ball really hard and naturally my left hand works more at first touch of the ball and I try to press up more right into it and the ball draws. The difference must be milli-second.

Do other find that's true with their swing too?

Answer 3

left hand should be working harder think about it---its the hand that pushes the club

Answer 4

your left hand holds the club and your right hand guides your left

Answer 5

if you are left handed you should use left handed clubs. If right, right clubs. personally I am left handed but learned golf right handed and now to switch would be ssa sdrawkcab.  (*** Backwards)

Answer 6

For a lefty, the right hand will do more of the work with the left hand used as a guide going for a ride.

It is opposite for righties.

So it appears that you are normal in this regard.

Answer 7

if you are right handed you should play with right handed clubs. you only create a disadvantage to yourself playing left handed. a right handed person playing with right handed clubs(the right hand provides the kick or release of the club head). if you swing correctly.
