  1. You're bending the left wrist. If you bend the wrist you can make that V go to the right shoulder but if you have a straight line from shoulder to grip to clubhead, then the V points more towards left shoulder. To put it another way, with your bent wrist, your left hand is near your crotch. With a straight left wrist, the hands would be more forward and that straight line from shoulder to clubhead exists.

  2. "I'd rather wake up and find a Diamond Backed rattlesnake in my pajamas than I would hit a hook." Ben Hogan

    Hogan ought to know about the horrors of a hook, for he hit a hook with a strong grip for 8 years on the tour before Henry Piccard grabbed his hands on the practice tee and forced him to use a neutral grip. Before he never won any type of tournament. After that he won 9 Majors.

    Use the neutral grip. It's the natural way to hold the club and tends to produce a straight ball, the only natural shot in golf.

  3. But every great player who has ever played the game gripped it like hogan and hogan advocates the left thumb going directly on the top of the shaft.

  4. Excellent video. Don’t “grip it and rip it”. The softer you try the easier the game becomes.
    A light “hold" allows the wrists to hinge and unhinge.Get more centrifugal snap and blade ( including the putter) squares up at impact. Thus that light “hold” of the club must not be interfered with for the swing’s duration . Spot on Jay Zoop. Jack Nicklaus said the hands are the swing wreckers.

  5. Funny, I actually slice it with the stronger grip because you will get more cupping in the left wrist and that only increases in the backswing. But I have a large hand and a smaller wrist. By using a weak left and right grip I can flatten it now in the backswing and the slice is gone.
