I'm a high handicap, I'm working on breaking 100 this summer. My driver is my best club. 250yds, really strait to a slight fade.

Early the summer I had a severe slice with driver.. I straitened it out by strengthening my grip, holding the club with my fingers, and swinging softer.

Now the next club I want to work on are my irons. I cannot hit them consistantly. Top, fat, shanks in either direction... I play mind games with myself on almost every shot. Here are my specific questions.

To hit my irons, I seem to have to do the following. I weakin my grip for each lower club. For example, I try to swing 4 iron with the same strong grip as driver, but the 9 and PW i am nuetral. I also feel like I have to grip the club more with my palms and squeeze harder for anything good to happen...

What the hell is going on? Is it acceptable to change grips for each club as this doesn't seem right to me. Links to good youtube video's or whatever would help.

I realize a lesson is the best solution, but it is not an option right now, hopefully you guys can help.

Try You Tube and search(swing like Tiger Woods) and you will see legs of a golfer in gray pants, its an excellent step by step fundamental of the basic golf swing including grips, posture, alignment that might be helpful to you.

answer this question then...

Does anyone here have different grips for different clubs? or is it just me, and should I stop doing that.

Nope, I personally use a neutral grip for everything. If you think about it, the less you have to change for each shot, the easier it is to repeat each shot. Does that make sense?
