Involuntary Release of Grip Pressure on Downswing

[greatgolfahead]

I'm a right handed golfer and will loosen my right hand on the downswing on occasion; I know when this happens because I'll shank the ball and look down to see that club face has rotated open. This seems like an odd problem, but I'm sure our experts on Sand Trap have experience with this issue.  Do you have any drills to help with this problem?  Thank you,

Do you have video of yourself doing this? If it’s ‘occasional’ I’m inclined to believe there’s an underlying reason why this is happening. 
I have a similar issue with my trail palm separating from the grip at the top of my backswing then re-gripping coming down. However I’ve managed to ingrain it beyond correction. Hell it’s basically a trigger for me to start my downswing. But it’s every time.

For you I’d get it on video ( you may do it every swing and not know). You may just not correct it every swing and thus the poor contact. Let’s see your usual grip. I’m wondering if there’s a root cause and your hand coming loose is an effect of it. 
 

For starters though, you should probably spend a good amount of time making slow, slow...slower swings with a deliberate effort to keep your grip intact. Over and over ...then hit balls still swing slowly...over and over.
