How To Match Your Grip With The Top Of Your Backswing
Jake Hutt explains how to synchronize your grip style with your lead wrist position at the top of the backswing. He demonstrates how a strong grip pairs with a cupped wrist, while a weak grip requires a bowed wrist to maintain a square clubface throughout the swing.
A strong grip (knuckles visible) requires a cupped lead wrist at the top to keep the face square.
A weak grip (thumb down the shaft) requires a bowed or flexed lead wrist at the top.
A neutral grip is best paired with a flat lead wrist at the top of the backswing.
Matching these components prevents the clubface from becoming too open or closed during the transition.
