The EASIEST Way to Control the Clubface and Hit Straighter Golf Shots!
PGA-certified instructor Kerrod Gray demonstrates a straightforward lead-hand grip routine to establish clubface control and start golf shots on line. By focusing on three-finger pressure and proper handle placement under the heel pad, golfers eliminate palm-gripping mistakes and allow the wrists to hinge naturally.
The clubface angle at impact is the main factor determining your ball's initial start direction.
Gripping the club in the palm prevents proper wrist hinge and causes the clubface to twist as the hands naturally return to address position.
Holding the club extended with only the last three fingers ensures the grip rests firmly under the heel pad rather than in the palm.
Verify that the clubface is straight up and down before lightly placing the lead thumb, index finger, and trail hand back on.
