Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)
A weak grip often forces the golfer to either leave the face open or throw the club late to square it. Strengthening the hand placement modestly lets the face return more predictably and reduces the need for impact manipulation.
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.
Hold the club in front of the chest and rotate the lead hand until two to three knuckles are visible.
Place the trail hand so both hand 'Vs' point in the same general direction, toward the trail shoulder.
Make waist-high rehearsal swings feeling the clubface square without needing a last-second flip.
Hit soft punch shots first so the new grip can be matched to face control before full swings.
Reset the grip before every shot rather than trusting what feels natural at first.
