Did you know your grip could be sabotaging your swing?
A weak grip often starts with your shoulders.
If your left shoulder is externally rotated and your right shoulder is internally rotated when gripping the club, you’re setting up for trouble.
Here’s why:
Once your shoulders return to neutral, the clubface opens up.
An open clubface leads to reverse pivoting, steep swings, and last-minute flips to save the shot.
The outcome? Inconsistent shots and a lot of frustration on the course.
Let’s fix that!
3 Steps to a Better Grip:
1️⃣ Start with Shoulder Alignment:
Keep your shoulders neutral and functional before gripping the club.
Think of your shoulders as the foundation for a solid swing.
2️⃣ Focus on Joint Organization:
Proper joint alignment ensures that your grip supports a square clubface throughout the swing.
This minimizes the risk of compensations like flipping or steep paths.
3️⃣ Practice Structured Gripping:
Use drills to feel the difference between a balanced grip and one impacted by poor shoulder setup.
One simple drill:
Grip the club while focusing on neutral shoulder positions, then make half swings to reinforce the correct muscle memory.
Why This Works:
Your grip connects your body to the club.
When your shoulders are misaligned, your grip suffers, leading to swing plane issues and inconsistent ball flights.
Aligning your shoulders and grip ensures you’re set up for success from the start.
