strong grip caos

I have had a strong grip for years now (4 knucks)-been trying to go more to a neutral grip but no feeling and more problems trying to square the face at impact-so I kinda strayed from that .Have been watching Paul Azinger's swing from what I have on video and seems similar(except the head movement deal)lol.I would like to know what makes his swing work with his grip.Same with Zack Johnson -there is some kind of click that makes that all work and have been searching for that- do they hold the club off at impact or open it on the backswing.I have noticed here lately that I have a late release but instead of the forearms rotating over,my right hand after impact will go underneath causing a flipping affect-I never had that before and I dont know where it came from-and I cant get rid of it.I'm thinking it is from holding the club off -trying to keep it square through impact-but its getting worse.I just cant find anything to be consistant.

Thank you for that Greg,very interesting and helpful-I don't know how I've played decent golf for so long with all of these flaws in my swing-but I do know why I'm hitting the ball worse is because alot of the moves in my swing are wrong and I did something else wrong to makeup for the first one-but now If I correct something the other bad moves do not cooperate with it-didn't care so much about it before but I am trying to get to another level and I've gone as far as I can with these problems.Instruction is good where I live but pricey-and I'm trying to get this done without spending bookoo's of bux.

thanks again

It's all free here so you found hopefuly what your looking for. Great guys here with tons of knowlege, so keep asking!

Another question regarding a strong grip-on the backswing at the top whether it is 3/4 or full does the left wrist have to cup in order to keep the face square? Because if it does that could explain alot of my problems here,mine is not, it is more flat and that might be the reason for my faulty release-if not, then we're back to something else-I'm still trying to upload my swing here-will get it eventually.

Strong grips will have the front hand cup as your set/cock up your hands. This is a strong hinge to release in this mannor so use it to your advantage.

Upload your videos to u-tube or another service, it is easier. Then just paste in the url.

Just got back from the range-and found some interesting stuff.Asked the pro there if they thought my grip was to strong-said no it's good, but somehow I have developed a slight OTT move-I thought I was swinging out on the ball-but actually right shoulder was moving out a bit.My fix was to make sure on the downswing to swing out to right field-and nothing else-and the ball flight was right to left like normal-shallower divot-and maybe something I can trust again.Don't know I strayed from this to begin with-but I think it might of all started when I was working on hitting a fade and some how got the swing paths combined -I don't know.

Would like some feedback on this please

This video link will explain the relationship between the grip and wrist cup at the top

I have been working on my right hand cup this morning trying figure out how to incorporate it into the swing. I am not releasing the club very well right now resulting in weak shots. Not enough satisfying thumps. When I establish a solid cup at address I find I really have to push my hands way forward of the club head at address otherwise I just don't feel it. This just doesn't look right. I am using a gap wedge to practice this in my living room so maybe this is alright since the ball should be back in the stance anyway. I have also played around with putting a break in the backswing to get the cup but the idea of breaking back and then hinging up in the backswing seems would complicate things. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hey

Right or wrong?

If I have a strong grip(which there is a cup in the left wrist at address)do I have to maintain that cup ALL the way through impact?

Thanks,

if you are asking for a cut and dry answer I would say no, you dont want a cupped left wrist at immpact, dont know of a pro who does but maybe there is one out there, anyone know of one? how is your right hand grip, is that strong too?

Shootin is correct (Phew! did I say that )

Your left wrist will (or should) return flat at impact, with a strong grip this will have the effect of closing the clubface and in some cases cause hooks. For high handicappers a strong grip assists with a later release and longer shots, it is not essential to have a strong grip to hit long though. Many more experienced golfers will adopt a neutral grip that allows more feel in the shot.
