Here, take a look at this little 2-minute video:
Billy's tip about taking your grip and then holding your arm straight out in front of you to see whether the club face is open or shut is one of the coolest little spot checks I've ever seen. PLEASE NOTE that when he straightens his arm, the back of his lead hand is facing the target. This is the key! If you aren't getting the back of your lead hand to face the target at impact, you have one of two choices:
- Correct your backswing because you're twisting your forearms (and the club face) open on the way back. This is the best solution.
- Take a much stronger grip than Billy recommends... but if your problem is caused by twisting your forearms on the way back, that won't fix the problem.
The whole video is loaded with helpful hints but Billy's tip can also help you learn how to shape the ball left or right at will simply by strengthening or weakening your grip. That's a very useful little technique to have in your repertoire.
And if for some reason the video didn't embed properly, you can find the original at this golf.com page.
