impact with the right hand, often resulting in a partial release

of the left hand as the right hand dominates through the

impact area and this circumstance will frequently result in

domination by the right hand in the finish (which is often

truncated because of the tight right arm and shoulder

muscles.)

Unfortunately all of this will occur completely unconsciously

and when asked whether the grip pressure and position

remained the same throughout the swing, the golfer will

confidently assert that it did and even when shown video

evidence that the grip position changed they will say that they

were not aware of it.

Do not despair if this sounds like you. It took me many years

to fully appreciate correct grip pressure and position during

the swing but with a little practice and focus you can gain a

new understanding and appreciation for the role of the

hands during the swing.
