PGA Professional Stuart Cartwright hosts a live Q&A session focused on his 'Swing Builder' framework. He provides fact-based coaching to fix common issues like slices and poor strikes by emphasizing the 'grip track' and the importance of keeping the hands in front of the chest. Using unique tools like brooms and Swiss balls, Stuart demonstrates how to align the clubface and path for measurable improvement.
The grip is the bedrock of the swing; most path and face issues stem from an incorrect hold at address.
Keep the grip in front of the chest throughout the swing to prevent the arms from getting 'stuck' or drifting behind.
The 'grip track' (how the handle moves) dictates the clubface orientation more than conscious wrist manipulation.
Hovering the club at address can help prevent a 'frozen' takeaway and create a smoother start to the backswing.
Avoid bowing the lead wrist through strike; focus on pulling the grip toward the target to square the face naturally.
