Why a Strong Grip Is Killing Your True Swing

Are you gripping the club too strong, thinking it’ll fix your slice or give you more power? Think again! In this video, Erika Larkin breaks down why an overly strong grip (especially in your trail hand) can actually destroy your swing mechanics, limit your rotation, and cause manipulation through impact. You’ll learn: ✅ What a truly neutral grip looks like and why it matters ✅ How a strong grip shuts the clubface and changes your swing path ✅ The chain reaction it causes: tension, loss of width, and blocked follow-through ✅ Simple checkpoints to feel natural, square, and free through impact Whether you’re struggling with slices, hooks, or just that “stuck and tight” feeling, this video will show you how to free up your swing and hit it straighter with better contact — all by fixing your grip.
