If you are going through a process now of lightening your grip pressure a little bit. We want to apply an idea of well if you are lightening your grip pressure what else are you needing to do in your golf swing to compensate for that, and the 3 key elements the 1st key elements of a lighter grip pressure also means that you should be using your body a little bit more you might have found in the past when you had tight grip pressure tight grip pressure implied that your body didn't really do too much. Now the light a grip pressure can actually encourage the body to therefore take a bit of a role because the hands on overworking and this is a good thing we want the golf swing to be a whole body we don't want this thing to just be hands and arms.
So even if I'm setting up to a wedge here and I've got a nice light grip pressure my body should feel like it wants to turn the whole way through as my hands and arms are a little bit more passive. The 2nd thing that I need to consider joining the swing is that I need to keep even tempo with a light grip pressure with a tight grip pressure you might felt you had an uneven time with quick tempo as the grip pressure becomes lighter we should feel the tempo smooth out a little bit it's not to rush but it doesn't mean that it's slow it's just not rushed and it's not an even. So it's a nice even par on the body of doing plenty of work in the last thing with the lights a great pressure is we want to feel that we can still strike down on the golf ball. Sometimes with too aggressive grip grip pressure would see go through scooping the ball using the right hand too aggressively to lift the ball and hit on the near the ball and scoop it up and we want to see that with this light a grip pressure we can still encourage the body to turn down on the ball making a nice strike without too much great pressure. So striking down good and plenty of body turn or go hand in hand with a nice even great pressure.
