Default Struggling With Grip
Well over a decade(heck, maybe even 2) ago I was a golfer that could slice any club in the bag. I was able to play it for the most part, but yet still struggled with distance control. I read an article at the time, where Steve Jones(who had just won the US Open) claimed that an overlapping grip was "sliceproof", so I gave it a shot. Common sense told me my slice was a much deeper problem than just the grip, but I was desperate to try anything to cure that dreaded slice. I switched to overlap and continued to play that way until recently. My slice over the years turned in to a hook, and for some reason a few months ago I felt the need to "go back" to an interlocking grip. I hit the range several times with it and the results seemed pretty good so I took it to the course.... and proceed to shoot 3 of the worst rounds I have had in a long time. It was so bad the last round I had no idea how to even grip the club, back and forth between overlap and interlock, strong grip/weak grip. I hit the range this last weekend and the same thing, felt good and results were decent and then walked a few holes before dark and was struggling with the grip again. Lately it feels like a golf club is a completely foreign object in my hands and the game has been overly frustrating to play. I am thinking I need to go back to the basics and get some lessons, anyone else ever have this problem and how did you go about fixing it?
