Golfers often overlook the significant impact their grip has on their game. A strong or weak grip can influence the ball’s direction and distance, thereby affecting overall performance.
A strong grip involves rotating the hands more to the right (for right-handed players), promoting a closed clubface and resulting in a draw or hook with added distance but requiring more control.
A weak grip has hands rotated more to the left, producing an open clubface, leading to a fade or slice with more accuracy but potentially less distance.
Understanding these nuances helps golfers improve their swing and lower their scores by finding the ideal balance for their playing style.
