How a Strong Grip Can Help Your Game
A strong grip has powered some of the best ball-strikers in golf history. Players with this technique often generate impressive control and consistency, provided they manage face angle and release correctly.
The Role of the Fade
When using a strong grip, playing a fade becomes an essential strategy. The underhand-style release allows the clubface to stay slightly open through impact, which counters the closed position created by the grip. This balance helps produce a controlled, soft fade rather than an unpredictable hook.
"This is why playing a fade is so key when you have a strong grip. This underhand release helps keep the face open."
Technique and Adjustments
Golfers should focus on maintaining a stable wrist position and letting the body rotation guide the club through impact. The key is to prevent excessive hand action that can close the clubface too early.
- Keep the grip firm yet relaxed.
- Engage shoulder and torso rotation through the swing.
- Avoid flipping the wrists post-impact.
These fundamentals make the strong grip work efficiently, giving players both power and directional control.
Summary
Used with finesse, a strong grip combined with a controlled fade can transform a player’s consistency and distance management.
Author’s summary: A strong grip, paired with a fade shot, offers controlled power and reduces risks of hooking for golfers mastering precision.
