When you say your right is "open" too much, I assume you mean it is turned toward your right, meaning you can see your fingernails. This is also called a STRONG right hand grip. The stronger your right hand, the more you will close the club face at address. The weaker, or the more you turn it over your left hand prior to your swing, the more you will leave the club open.

It seems you have the opposite in mind. It may be the problem is with your left hand, it may be too weak.

Are you a righty or a lefty? If your a lefty, that and see that many knuckles would be a weaker than normal grip. If your a righty, that would be a strong grip.

Regardless of what type of grip you are using (eg. overlap, interlock) and how strong or weak the grip is, your palms should be facing each other.

Otherwise your hands will be fighting each other throughout your swing, and you won't be able to hinge/cock easily.

I'm always amazed how important a setup with good fundamentals trumps almost anything else.

Your right hand should mirror your left hand. Your left should be on the stronger side (rolled more towards your right, with the V at your right shoulder) and it sounds like you have your right hand turned too far over to the left side.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
