I know its been a while that this topic has been commented on..in my search for better contact I have realised I choke the club to death and feel this is going to be detrimental to my swing.

Would I be right in saying that holding the club too tightly would restrict the natural bottoming out of the clubface and holding off with the release (lightly gripping the club will release naturally.

I use a similar drill where but instead place a alignment stick into the end of the grip, allows you to grip the club normally.

It depends on what you mean by tightly. You have to have a firm grip on the club in order to properly control it. It's more important to maintain a consistent grip pressure, and that grip pressure should be a little on the firm side, if anything.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
