The most common fault I find in all standards of golfers is bad technique in the set up and grip. While making a balanced set up with a good grip doesn't guarantee a good golf swing it goes a long way to helping the swing improve. With this in mind I have dedicated the first eight weeks to the set up and grip. Good luck and hard practising.
Week 3
Do Not Click On The Diagrams. Just Move Cursor Over Diagrams And Wait To See Impact Positions.

Knowing how to make a good golf grip is not enough, It's equally important to understand why. When releasing correctly the club will come in square to impact with a good grip as in (Dia 1.) However if making a strong grip, (Dia 2.) the club will come in closed at impact (Dia 2.(cursor) potentially causing a pull hook. With the total opposite happening with the weak grip as in (Dia 3 & 3.(cursor) Hot Tip: It is possible to hit the ball straight with the bad grips but not consistent as you will be manipulating the club face.
This lesson will be followed up next week with an explination on how different ball positions can be used for different clubs.
