Yeah I mean clockwise you’re right. But will I give up the ability to hit a fade consistently with a stronger grip? I feel like I may not be able to keep the club face open enough to hit a controlled fade. Or is changing to a slightly weaker grip to hit a fade an ok way to do it?

So I’ve been golfing for about 7 years and I’m 19 years old, no physical limitations other than forearms and wrists being somewhat weak. I have found that the biggest problem I cannot overcome is that my hands never turn over in the swing and my post impact feel is very forced. I come through without forearm rotation, almost like a square release, but it’s so bad that at about a 45 degree angle past the ball both of my arms are bent severely. With most iron shots I have a miss where I block the ball EXTREMELY to the right or I hit far off the toe and pick the ball. I don’t know what my problem is, but even focusing on it it’s like I just don’t have the means to finish squaring the club face, I just can’t do it. Even if I’m trying as hard as I can. And trying to swing naturally and freely to square the wrists with a loose grip results in a fat shot. I tried taking a stronger grip, just slightly, and all of a sudden I immediately felt a better release and straighter, more consistent shots. Question: should I continue to use this stronger grip, or not? Is it a bandaid for another swing fault, or is it just a little help since I seem to not be able to square the club?
