Why this drill works

A neutral path with slice or fade curve points toward inferred open face-to-path evidence. This grip check gives the player a setup checkpoint before they chase a larger plane or path change.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Check the lead-hand grip before making a swing, looking for a neutral-to-stronger placement instead of a weak lead hand.

  2. 2

    Match the trail hand so both hand Vs point in a compatible direction rather than fighting each other.

  3. 3

    Make slow half swings and confirm the face can return square without a last-second flip.

  4. 4

    Hit short shots first, using the start line and curve to confirm the face is not staying open to the path.
