Regripping at top

[curtisj76]

I have a feeling I regrip at the top sometimes. What am I doing wrong?

Wrong hand POSITION?

Wrong grip PRESSURE?

I have pretty small hands (I like a cadet small for a glove) and I use a "regular" size grip. Could that be it?

I feel like I really have to grip it tight so the butt of the club doesn't move off of my heel pad.

THANKS

Probably a bit of both. The Snead saying of 'feeling like you are holding onto a bird' doesn't work for a lot of golfers and a lot of golfers need to grip the club with much more pressure than that. I think Tiger once said his grip pressure is at a 7 or an 8.

Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?

I used to analyze a lot of these thoughts. Of lately, I have learned to grip it just a bit looser than what I normally do and not to have too much tension when I set up to the ball. Think back to the days when ball hitting was non effort when all you needed to do was to break 100. Now that you are gunning for a bigger target, it's only natural that you would tense up. Maybe that's the problem.
