Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
This is pretty common a lot of times people put their hands on the club in a position where the V's form a tween the index finger in the thumb or running directly towards the chin or maybe even to the left of their chin. This puts the hands in a weak condition if you've heard the term weak versus strong this is what would be termed a weak condition it doesn't mean that you can't hit the ball from there what it means is it's very easy to leave the face open. So what I'd like you to do is if you're having trouble fighting the golf ball make sure when you look down at your left hand V form b etween index for going to thumb that it is running towards your right shoulder. As I look down I can see 2 maybe even 3 knuckles that sets my left hand in a position where it's a stronger position which means I don't have to work as hard to shut the blade down.
The right hand is going to come in and match the left hand so this V is also parallel to and pointing towards my right shoulder so now my left hand and my right hand V. are matching my palms are facing one another and this new stronger grip is going to look like so. When you have that stronger grip it's going to be much easier to shut the blade down through the impact interval making the ball go to the left. So remember if you have a weak grip or the hands are turned too much to the left the blades going to tend to hang open you want to do anything and everything you can to turn the hands just a touch to the right of center so the V's form abetween the index finger and the thumb are going towards the right shoulder and when that happens the ball will tend to go more right to left.
