With this grip, the toe of the club will tend to point toward the skywhen the shaft is roughly parallel with the ground (left). If your grip looks like Nick’s ,you can correct those mistakes by taking the club back so that when it’s parallel to the ground, the shaft should be roughly parallel to your toe line.
YOU MUST START THE SWING OUTSIDE THE TARGET LINE
DRILL
Here’s another take away drill, like Nick’s, that requires an alignment rod or similar. With Danny, or any of you out there that grip the club with your trail hand more on top of the shaft, the first few feet of the backswing are crucial to get right. You have to make sure the club head stays outside of your hand path. I know that might sound confusing, so let’s get back to the drill that reinforces this move. Grab an alignment rod and stick it in the ground on your target line about two feet behind your normal ball position with an iron.You want it on a 45-degree angle and pointing away from the target. I think you know what to do from here: Start back so the club doesn’t hit the rod.
