I tried correcting it but I seems that I hit the ball much better with my hands behind my shoulder.

ml249,
Go ahead and load'er up from 'past your right shoulder' with a Swinger's action -- let the big muscles of the Pivot
pull you into the Downstroke -- then, from Release . . .
Drive.
You'll learn the timing --
David Toms and
K.J. Choi did, and you can, too. Go here:

In the end, especially for the recreational golfer, psychological (and kinesthetic) preferences are best accomodated, not challenged.
