An open clubface at P2 (shaft parallel) and P4 (top of swing) usually requires a forced closing move that stalls the body.
Mid-to-high handicap players generally benefit from a neutral-to-strong grip.
Identify the 'crease' by squeezing your thumb against your hand for both the lead and trail hands.
Ensure both hand creases point toward your trail shoulder at address to encourage a square-to-shut clubface.
