| Left hand/arm positioning I'm an average golfer, right handed, handicap around +18, and I have a question about my grip and positioning. I have large hands, and when I grip the club with my left hand (keeping mindful of holding the club in the balls of my fingers), the only way I can get the "V" to point to my right ear is if I cup my wrist. Is is "correct" to have a cupped left wrist address, provided that the "V" is pointing at my right ear? Or, is it correct to have a straight left arm and wrist at address? This way actually feels more correct, but you know the saying, if it feels right, it's probably wrong. I looked at the Lessons page on "GRIP" and noticed that picture shows a left wrist that appears to be very cupped. Is one expected to maintain that position through impact? Any assistance you can provide is much appreciated. T24 (By the way, I'm new here!) |

| Re: Left hand/arm positioning OOPS, MY REPLY WAS SUPPOSED TO END UP IN ANOTHER THREAD! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Try to bring the club on more of an inside plane. I had a slicing problem for awhile, and I talked to a scratch golfer. He looked at my swing and saw I was bringing my club back on way too much of an outside plane. Tuck a towel (or headcover) under your right armpit. You won't be able to get a full swing, but make sure the towel stays tucked under your armpit throughout your backswing. It will give you the feel of and inside approach. Hope this helps. Last edited by tanc24; 08-01-2007 at 11:49 PM. Reason: Mistake |
