Thank you
by: Samir

I would like to properly thank you for the advice and understanding my unique situation in dealing with being a lefty.

I am so glad that I'm not by myself and I have confidence in your advice because you are a lefty also.

I have asked you a question today regarding my right hand grip, since it is not parallel to my club face, it's slightly open(stronger).

Looking at the picture of your grip, the line between your right thumb and forefinger is going toward the center of your chest, making your palm facing the target. My line grip is going up my right arm. What suggestions do you have to correct this problem. Thanking you again and in advance. Samir.

Answer
Thanks for your kind comments! It is always a pleasure to help.

With the description you have given of your right hand position, it sounds like you are not allowing your right hand to rotate the club head squarely into impact. The left hand is keeping the club face open and the right hand is going under the shaft at impact, instead of over the top of it.

Should your right hand now rotate into impact,
your ball may suddenly start going left of your target. This will be because of your now active stronger right hand.

You will then need to weaken the right hand by turning it anti-clockwise on the grip. Keeping the arms together all the way through the swing will assist you in achieving a good strike and squaring the club face, and getting a proper release of the club head.

The line between your forefinger and thumb will aim more between your right shoulder and neck. This may be your answer in squaring up the club face.

Just work and feel on rotating the right hand into impact without the use of your right shoulder, feel it snug and up close to your left hand grip. This is important as the hands need to feel like one unit and not two separate ones.

I trust this will solve your problem!

Thanks,
Louis
