Nice post.

That style of teaching and approach sounds remarkably similar to the guy I see.

When he changed my grip he actually made it a bit stronger because I had a weak grip to start with and a tendency to cup my left wrist on the way down (attempting to create some lag) and open the clubface even more. S***k/slice city. I'm now a converted flat left wrist man.

He also moved the club from being almost completely in the fingers of both hands to actually holding it. In comparison to how I did hold it, it felt like I was holding a hammer with two hands, but it was instantly more controllable and forgiving, but still controlled by the fingers.

Always a good sign when you get instant improvement from the first lesson.

Keep him! He sounds good!

Post again after your next lesson!
