comment TEST for free grip test Your trail hand grip determines the shape of your swing

Ashley Knoll Golf explains how your trail hand grip position directly influences your swing shape and trail elbow motion. She breaks down how top, bottom, and side grip positions alter swing plane steepness and elbow tuck. The key is customizing your grip to match your natural biomechanics rather than copying others.

• A trail hand positioned more on top results in an upright swing plane with the trail elbow lifting up and behind.
• A trail hand positioned underneath creates a flatter swing plane with a tucked trail elbow.
• A trail hand placed on the side creates a neutral, middle-ground swing plane.
• Match your grip to your body's natural biomechanics rather than forcing a standard style.
