Sandwedge

hi - just a general question - do people think it's proper technique to have the hands in front of the golf ball when playing irons?? I find I do it with short irons and wedges and I just started doing it with mid and long irons and I seem to make better contact and be able to hit down on the ball better - but I don't want to get a bad habit. I am not talking drastic - just having the the hands slightly forward of the golf ball.
what do people here think??
thanks in advance
Drew

I don't think there is a bad way if it works for you. I think of Jack Nicklaus when you mention putting the hands in front of the ball. He would move his hands forward just before starting his swing.
IMO I don't think there is a bad swing (except Charles Barkley ) if it works for you.

If it starts troubling you, I'd go to a pro and get advice that way. It's what I do.

Yeah, that's fine. I do the same thing. it helps you hit down on the ball, so go for it!
