I have a slightly closed clubface at the top of my backswing and as i begin my downswing i close it even more. I have a slightly strong grip and have tried multiple ways to get rid of this. Does anyone have any ideas? Cheers

You just answered your own question.  Strong grip is giong to cause a closed club face.  With that said there are many great players who played with a shut face or do play with a shut face.

[conspiracy stuff removed]

Why do you need to get rid of your closed club face? What's wrong with your ball flight to warrant the change?

Also it's generally thought that in order to help diagnose problems, video is required on here.

In my experience, some people on here believe a lower index provides more valid advice. I guess the second poster is three points smarter?!?

Does seem odd..anyone with a 4 index would have an idea of how to correct a closed clubface.  I am new to this forum and am still not sure about how legit the blogs are.

Dunno how its odd.  I just registered here cause I was recently disabled for 60 days on another golf forum for joking on someone rickie folwer avatar.  But, lets try to figure out if we were the same people what could we accomplished making a post about a closed club face?  I got it there is a new revolutionary swing out there called closed club face golf.  Go to the site and buy the DVD NOW!!!!

You should lighten up. ;-) They don't share IPs or anything else in common that I can find except having signed up close to each other. Chill. Not everything is a conspiracy and I think this site, perhaps better than any other, does a first-rate job of preventing spam and spammers.

This site has the benefit of regular users who flag spam the second it's reported.

You're right though, I need to lighten up.

Hard to tell without seeing your swing.  Could be just a bowed wrist at the top.

      It's not. 🤣 It's over 90 seconds into a 5-minute video before they say anything about physics, and when they do, they talk about mastering the double pendulum with a definition that includes gravity or something. Here, @GreenhornGolfer and others: https://amzn.to/3IHnf0N. Buy that.

      Barring a disaster, this will be Scheffler's fourth major and only missing the US Open for a career slam.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Have slowly been working on hooding my long irons less. Using a much more neutral grip and a feel of swinging above the waist. This was the 2nd swing today. A clean clip with a 4-iron with what seems like an okay centered pivot and decent balanced finish.

      Nobody is getting close and Scottie is not letting them. BDC could've had a shot without that awful Thursday. He shot 16 under on the last three days.
