Experts, I have a question.
At the beginning of last year i was playing quite a wide draw, probably 15-20 yards of curve through the air.
It was a wide shape but our was a consistent shape that meant i would miss slightly right when it didn't come back enough. At this point my grio was more strong than neutral.
Through a series of lessons my pro decided it would be more beneficial for me to move to a more neutral grip to help reduce the curve.
My clubface was also shut at the top which was another factor in the change.
Over the course of last year i bedded the grip change to my pros liking however my golf has gone backwards and stayed backwards.
When we used the Trackman toward the end of the year it showed that i had quite a substantial inside path (+5°) with a 7 iron.
In conjunction with the new grip, i had to play the ball nearer where o would play a hybrid or long iron, purely to get the path into the ball more neutral.
When it worked it was good but i then had a 2 way miss. Which i still have.
Im considering chopping back to my old stronger grip, purely for consistancy reasons.
It will mean more of a curve, but the curve is much more consistent than i have now.
With not long having our second child, practice time is at a premium so im looking for more of a simple option to bring back a little consistancy.
I understand my pros reasons for the change, but I just cannot get the grio to suit the swing.
Any thoughts?
