Predominantly. I have a bit of a 2 way miss going on - golf is a hard game just at the minute. I’ve filled my head with all manner of swing thoughts as well. At the minute I stand over the golf ball a nervous wreck!! Bit of a chicken wing, separation and disconnection of arms and body is leading to some horrible inconsistency.It does look a touch strong.
Does the ball go left ?
Mine too, if my thumbs are on the top of the club I will slice everythingMines is stronger than that. My strike has improved a lot moving back to a stronger position. Especially with the left hand.
It depends on your path and release what effect the strong grip has on the flight.
One of the 5 LAWS in golf is clubface direction at impact. That has a direct influence on the ball.
When you are swinging down into impact at speed, it's hard to manipulate the clubface consistently.
Therefore a neutral grip helps enormously as it doesn't need manipulating.
Compare your picture above to a neutral grip below, especially your right hand

It really is. Helps with the strike as well when I feel really confident to go through it.Good to hear.
Sometimes when a golfer has a strong grip he/she holds back the release which leaves the clubface open at impact causing the shot to go right.
This confuses some people because a strong grip usually makes the ball go left, hence my question in post no. 2.
It's a liberating feeling knowing you can hit it hard with the right hand and it won't go left.
Enjoy the middle of the fairway![]()
