I made a slight grip change recently that is solving a curvy shot problem that I have had for years. I thought it might be something you would want to try.

Something that has bothered me for a long time is that I can take my grip with a neutral-to-weak right hand, and when the shot goes drifting off to the left I find my right hand has turned neutral-to-strong, all by itself, at sometime during the swing.

I wondered if it was because my grip was too loose, letting my right hand rotate away from the left, carrying the clubface with it, without my even noticing it.

So I tried something. After I took my grip, I gently rotated my hands toward each other so they pressed together.

Voila! The right hand didn’t move when I swung. It was in the same place at the end of my swing as it was at address. Did this improve my ball-striking? You bet it did!

If you try it, you don’t want this pressure to be too hard, just hard enough so you know the right hand is always pressing leftward during the swing and thus not going to move out of position.

That’s all there is to it! This might be a good thing to try regardless of your ball flight.

There are lots of ways the clubhead can get out of square during the swing. This is a way of preventing a cause it might take you years to discover. Like it did me.
