Been struggling lately with hooking the ball, which has been my nemisis for sometime. Last night just toying around at the range I started employing a much stronger grip than my typical neutral grip. I noticed that with this wrist action I seemed to have a less handsy action and was able to just pound down on the ball with my right arm(hitters motion). It seemed counter intuitive to me that I might actually have less right to left motion on the ball with a stronger grip. Anybody else notice this??

I have found that for me a strong grip causes me to hold off the roll of the left arm; if I roll the left arm with a strong grip, I get big hooks. When I grip it with the back of my hand facing where the clubface points with a flat left wrist, I am able to go ahead and roll the left arm without hooking. This makes my grip appear neutral or even slightly weak, but I can't argue with the results.

A Strong Single Action Grip makes it easier to Angled Hinge if you want to.

me:
strong grip
try my hardest not to roll my left arm
My finish: left arm pointed towards the sky. right wrist bent, right elbow pointed in the same direction as the target.
MY only swing thought-- back and down.
works great!!!
