How to hit your driver and woods with your lead hand being dominant
Yes, I know! I told you short game was coming and that is next week, I promise! It is already in the queue.
Meanwhile, we had a large demand for how to crush those woods and drivers with your lead hand being dominant, and I was only too happy to oblige. Enjoy!
Kristoffer Reitan just won his first PGA Tour event at the 2026 Truist Championship. He is a Ping staff member and has a complete set of clubs from the brand. He did make a late driver switch this weekend that helped propel him to victory.

Finau’s unique long putter experiment, Webb’s WILD irons | Inside the Ropes | Truist Championship
In this week’s episode of Inside the Ropes from the Truist Championship, Alistair Cameron catches up with Tony Finau, who is in the midst of an interesting long-putter experiment, and Webb Simpson, whose irons must be seen to be believed. Also featuring: Sepp Straka, Ryan Gerard, and much more!
Right now, I am tied for first place in my league! Don’t worry, the wheels will fall off as we get further into the year, but let’s keep the train rolling with 14 brand new clubs this week. We are off on the back nine again, so the driver is back in, and the 7-wood is out, as the course dictates what clubs I tend not to use. Excited to get these New Level irons out there and see if I can catch some of that driver magic I had down at Pinehurst with the Wilson Dynapwr+.

This didn’t say anything about playing with dominant lead hand at all. This was a basic draw fade video
etc.

The external focus on clubhead path and orientation of cluface at impact (different for fade or draw)
is cause of lead hand ahead of the clubhead. Its a result of the proper external focus.
It has nothing to do with dominant lead hand. Hand dominance is determined by genetics.
(BTW the only way for lead hand to stay ahead of the clubhead, ie pull the clubhead into impact is for golfer to get ahead of the ball, not stay behind it) How do you pull something by staying behind it?)

Your “mind over matter” solution is total rubbish. Also your “pull” the clubhead is scientifically wrong…. and is rooted in 1960’s beliefs of the golf swing. You are so obsolete!!!
