When “side cover” players pull the club too much inside or fan the face open to try to square things up, it creates a blizzard of complications that will require lots of untangling on the way down—unless they want to hit blocks and big sweeping hooks. It’s also worth repeating that Brad hits it plenty far without getting the club’s shaft anywhere close to parallel with the ground.
Brad’s trail-hand grip is midway between the side and the top of the handle, which means the club will want to go back slightly to the outside of the target line, and the clubface will point a little downward halfway back.
