Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
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 Perform the Drill
The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.
Check the lead-hand grip before making a swing, looking for a neutral-to-stronger placement instead of a weak lead hand.
Match the trail hand so both hand Vs point in a compatible direction rather than fighting each other.
Make slow half swings and confirm the face can return square without a last-second flip.
Hit short shots first, using the start line and curve to confirm the face is not staying open to the path.
