Are you struggling with your golf grip or experiencing excessive wrist cupping during your swing? These common issues can disrupt your swing mechanics and make it challenging to achieve consistency and power. In this detailed lesson, Mike Malaska answers Vivian Kronengold’s question about adopting a stronger grip and fixing left wrist cupping.

Mike explains why most golfers start with the club positioned incorrectly in the palm of their hand—a mistake that prevents proper wrist hinge and limits power. He demonstrates how moving the club into your fingertips creates a stronger, more effective grip. However, if not managed correctly, this adjustment can lead to left wrist cupping during the takeaway.

To address this, Mike shares actionable techniques, emphasizing the importance of golf wrist hinge mechanics and the correct positioning of the right hand. Through relatable examples, like comparing the movement to hitting a forehand in tennis, he simplifies complex concepts. You’ll learn how keeping your right palm facing downward during the takeaway stabilizes your swing and prevents the left wrist from cupping, ensuring a stable and consistent golf swing.

This lesson also includes drills to help you master proper golf hand positioning and wrist movement. By practicing with a focus on the clubface and hand alignment, you’ll not only eliminate wrist cupping but also improve your golf takeawayand clubface control, leading to more powerful and precise shots.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, this video is a must-watch for anyone looking to refine their grip, improve consistency, and elevate their performance on the course. Watch now to master these essential skills and transform your game!

  1. Gripping it this way made a massive difference to my golf and learning how the hands work via the M system made golf so simple 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏

  2. Best teacher on YouTube, listen to Mike, you're game will improve dramatically. The most experienced and knowledgeable teacher out there.

  3. That right wrist down sounds like a good position to swing into. Might that also help to keep from making a swing where the clubhead swings too low and inside starting back? What do you think of having a little downward pressure though the left palm on top of the grip while that right wrist hinges back which should keep the handle down while elevating the clubhead and shaft upwards into a hopefully balanced position where the shaft feels light due to hopefully setting on a good plane (as opposed to the heaviness that might be created from too flat of a shaft plane back where the hands and handle move out away from the body early on)?

  4. My personal feel is the right hand hand knuckles are on under the grip and the grip hangs under my right wrist.

  5. Great question great answer it really demonstrates the action of the right wrist, fir me a lefty the left wrist thanks Mike much appreciated
