Ball position; it’s one of the oldest fundamentals in golf. If it’s too far forward, it may be causing you to hit thin or fat shots and miss shots to the left. If it’s too far back, you could be hitting tops, chunks, and missing the ball to the right.

Why does my drive hook right?

How do you cure it? Nine times out of ten a slice (curving right) shot is caused because you have a swing that is out-to-inward in trajectory.

Does a strong grip cause a hook?

For golfers who struggle with an overdrawing ball flight, we often see a grip that is turned too far away from the target — commonly known as a “strong” grip.

Does weak grip cause slice?

Weak Grip, Death Grip Many golfers’ problems with a slice begin with the way they hold the golf club. – They might have a so-called “weak grip,” which means that their thumbs are more at the top of the club; so, when they swing, they leave the club face open–which causes them to slice.

Will a midsize grip help?

Using a mid size grip, if that is what your fitted for, will not limit your ability to release the club. It will actually help you hit the ball on a consistent basis. If you use grips that are too small you will have more hand action then you want. Every club should have the same size grip.

Should I get standard or midsize grips?

Comparing your grips to your golf glove size is a clear way to determine the appropriate grip size. If your glove size is a men’s extra large (XL), it is best to use a midsize or jumbo grip on your clubs. A men’s large (L) or medium (M) glove size or a women’s large (L) glove size usually requires a standard size grip.
