When I take up my normal grip on the driver I hit a fade (or slice when playing badly).

I was having a play tonight experimenting trying to get to move the ball right to left which happens more by accident than by design on the course.

I had most success getting to draw the driver when swinging practically 1 handed. I've felt for a while that my right hand/arm over powers my left (when I come out to in) so tonight I tried just gently resting my right hand on the club with hardly any pressure on the grip whatsover. It felt almost like I was swinging with just my left arm.

What does this proove?

Should the right hand be less "secure" on the club than the left?

Ive seen some slo-mo videos of Ernie Els and Vijay Singh in the past and at impact there right hands are actually leaving go of the grip, therefore the left must be doing all the work.

If it works for you then go with it
