Weak Grip

[goodguy96]

Can Anyone give me Some instruction on how to adapt a weak Grip?  i have Allways Played a  strong grip but now since i`m using the  stack and tilt I want to switch to a weak grip to hit the Stock Push draw shot?

Rotating the hands on the grip to the left = weaker grip.

Rotating the hands on the grip to the right = stronger grip.

You can rotate the club open and keep the grip, but it's hard to tell without seeing your grip. Above are the rules.

What do you mean "adapt" a weak grip?  Zeph stated the basics, but is there something else you are asking? You already know what a strong grip is, you say you have one. You should know what a weaker grip is, right?

I'm a bit confused too. Stick with the grip you've been using... just set the clubface a little open at setup. Or, don't... see what your shots are doing.

The only reason we'd ever want someone to change their grip is if it's having a direct impact on their swing. Show us a video - most people's grips are weaker than they think already... Heck, I've recently strengthened mine a little to get my thumbs a little more "aft" on the shaft.

A weaker  grip meaning The Club Face is more Open  To the ball at impact, Rather Than My Standerd Closed Face.... i`ve tried Weaking my grip but it seams  like when I get at Impact my Club face is  Slightly Closed

I'd leave it alone for now unless you start hitting big snap (left to left) hooks.

Wow... you hit it right on the head Thats Exactly What I`m Starting to hit! At first When i used the stack and tilt I could hit my irons and woods Pure every Time with a High Push draw, but now it`s a low Snap hook! how could I fix this?

Could be a high rate of closure... which will tend to increase with a weaker grip, among other things. Head's not going backwards on the downswing, is it?

You should start a "My Swing" thread and post some video.

Higher left shoulder is a good sign, that's supposed to happen. Post the video, so we can see.

Rate of closure is very possible. I've got too much rolling and closing of the clubface, causing me to hit straight-draws and pull-hooks. When I manage to prevent the rolling, I'm hitting a push-draw. I don't want to hold off the clubhead, keeping it too open, but let the clubface shut as a result of moving in a circular path.

Not too high, though.

"Holding it open" is often simply keeping it square to the plane. You don't want a lot of excessive closure to the plane.
