Potentially help offset that a better player with a weak grip will typically bow the lead wrist in the back swing which will help Square the face up typically better players will have much better body rotation so that square Club face like John ROM with a lot of body
Rotation is a good matchup if you have a lot of body rotation you you can’t have an open face that ball is going to go too far to the right one of the downsides to the weak grip is the weaker the attachment the less you can actually
Hinge the club minimizing the amount you can load the wrist through the transition so if you’re trying to increase Club at speed or your goal is to swing the club as fast as you can this is not the recommended grip however we do see this from a lot of competitive
Golfers as it is a way to minimize rate of closure issues into the follow through the opposite side a strong grip where the hands sit on the back side of the shaft that’s going to orientate the face into much more of a closed position
This grip is not one that we see as much on the PJ tour but we see much more in the long drive world because the face is going to be much more orientated towards a closed position that’s going to require a lot more body rotation through the shot to prevent that toe from
Closing too quick so it’s a way to minimize rate of closure or control the club face the other reason a lot of long drive guys will use this is because of the added benefit of being able to actually increase the amount of wrist set so a weak grip you can see how much
