The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXIV

Instead of moving your hands forward from center, keep your hands centered on your body and move the ball back slightly. Moving the club head to follow the ball will give you that same club angle. And this way you keep your hands and body in sync the same way on every shot whether you need to move the ball back a little or not.
