Something i saw in an Arne’s tips is thumb postion of the right hand is it on top or left ? it should be to the right of center …..it will make a dif hope it may help some one try it …….as will a too week or too strong grip. A lot of little details but one can make a dif. in some ones swing at impect. we all go from being in the grove and or losing it ?
It happens to the pros too!

To Don Feit

Do you have some vision’s problems? Just before your ¨email¨ Ken Trahan gave you his phone number to contact him directly to settle your complaint. By the way it’s not the first time he gave his phone number to help customers who have inquiries.

Have a good day!

do you start the takeaway with your arms or shoulders

Thanks for sharing all these mail in questions and answers. I have found several that relate to my own problems and they have helped me correct them!
Hitting off the mat will be my next endeavor!

Alan…

Regarding too much tension in your hands before the takeaway. You are 58 and say that it has been getting worse along with your handicap of 3 years now.

First place I would look is if you are having arthritis issues or loss of strength, you may feel like you have to squeeze harder to have control of he club. Grips that are too thin will also cause you to have to squeeze extra hard to fell like you have control. For both issues I have just mentioned, you can check with your PGA Pro or club fitter and get your hands size checked and theproblem may be just changing to more wraps under your grip or oversize grips. ‘

One other issue may be applying your grip pressure incorrectly. Proper grip is applied by squeezing the fingers upward like shaking hands. Many time golfers squeeze their hans on the grip but pressure downward on the thumbs. thumb grooves worninto the grip are great indicators of downward pressure.
