Built by golfers who got tired of guessing
Drop The Hands™ was created by Gerard Mitchell, a lifelong golfer, entrepreneur, and builder of technology-driven brands.
Like many golfers, Gerard didn't struggle because he lacked effort—he struggled because practice didn't always translate to lower scores. Range sessions felt disconnected from real play. Advice was generic. Data lived in silos. And too often, golfers were told what to fix without understanding how it applied to their game on the course.
"Golfers don't need more swing thoughts."
They need better decisions, better preparation, and better plans.
Drop The Hands was born from this simple belief—that the path to lower scores isn't just about fixing your swing, it's about playing smarter with the game you already have.
