I noticed that on my grip, which i consider neutral, i have 2 knuckles showing on my left hand, thumb down the shaft at about 1 oclock.. but my right hand i have 0 knuckles showing, the V pointing to the right of my right shoulder, and my thumb coming sort of across the shaft.

I know the right hand is improper, could this be causing problems? also could someone explain the proper way my right hand should grip the club?

been playing golf and winning a local 4 day tournament... team shot -23 best ball and I shot -14 individual. Individual is a tournament record. OK, this is the way I grip the club with the right hand. I hold my right hand out shoulder high with the palm facing the target. I then put it on the club in that position with the thumb and the first finger holding the club like you would hold a gun in the "trigger position." The right hand is not about knuckles, its more about where the V points. I personally think it should point to the right shoulder. I know that is a stronger position, but it also is a more natural way to grip a club.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

      Rory McIlroy Will Never Win the Masters

      By Zeph ·

      Agreed. He’s probably the biggest name now that Tiger’s not around, and he’s been a fun player to watch all these years. I really hope he gets the jacket one day. Ugh, I could do without those two doubles. Good tee shots, then missing greens and not getting it done with the wedges. At least he didn’t dunk two like Cantlay, but four dropped shots in three holes is rough. He’d been going at it very well up to that point. The greens seemed very quick yesterday, as many on the course reported. As for Rory and The Masters, it’s 50:50. He’ll either win one or not, but ruling out the 35 year old world number two is just silly. This “super buffed” talk reminds me of when Tiger got some muscle and people thought he was huge. He wasn’t and Rory isn’t. You don’t have to gain a lot of muscle before it shows, especially in tight fitting t-shirts. He’s got the game to win it. Just have to make it work those four days and not let his head get in the way. Winning professional tournaments is difficult. Winning a major is even more difficult. The good news for Rory is that The Masters has the weakest competition of the majors. The top players are all there, but it’s a smaller field than the other majors.
