Many beginner and high handicap golfers want to know what the correct golf wrist cock is. Although this is very important to get right, having a proper golf grip will ensure you execute your wrist golf properly.

Issues With An Improper Golf Grip

If you have too strong of a left hand, you will have too much cup in your wrists at the top of your swing. This may cause you to overcock your wrists, and come across the line at the top, causing a whole host of issues coming down. If your golf grip is too weak, it may cause an excess bowing of your left wrist which will result in a shut clubface both at the top of your golf swing and at impact, resulting in some brutal pulls to the left. Learning how to grip a golf club is critical to making the correct golf wrist cock that promotes maximum wrist lag.

Proper Golf Wrist Cock

The proper golf wrist cock is very simple. You do not want to manipulate your wrists in any way, or you will have as mentioned above either too much cup in your wrists or excessing bow in them. With the proper grip on your golf club, you should be able to get in your address position, and without doing anything, just raise your clubhed straight off the ground vertically. You will do this by correctly cocking your wrists straight up.

When you’ve reached your maximum wrist cock, stop, hold it, and take a look at it. That is a perfect golf wrist cock that will encourage wrist lag and power into your golf swing.

Preset Golf Wrist Cock

This is where it gets fun. I do this all the time, and actually hit balls from this position. Once you get the proper wrist cock as described above, now just rotate the shaft to your right until it is parallel and right on top of your toe line. This is a perfect position to be in to just rotate back to an absolute beautiful “text book” top of the backswing position, with the correct and proper amount of wrist cock. At the top you will notice you are still parallel with your toe (target) line, putting you into a perfect position coming down.

That’s all there is to it!

Golfers who slice the golf ball are to the point of humiliation. Have you been there…because I know I have. I use to hate stepping up on the tee in front of friends, and worse strangers, and hit the big ‘ol banana ball. What an ugly golf shot! It goes 40 yards shorter than all the other drives, and usually ends up out of bounds costing you 2 strokes off EVERY TEE!

Having been a frustrated slicer of the golf ball for years, I took lessons, bought training aids, and pounded thousands of golf balls at the range (most of them sliced). I could only dream of someone giving me the best, most effective cure for my slice.

I know when someone states it’s the best, it’s subjective and individual opinion, but that is what this golf blog is all about. My trials and tribulations on playing single digit golf, of which I do now, but have a long way to go nonetheless.

If you’ve been waiting to hear my best golf slice cure, you won’t have to wait no more!

The golf grip is your ONLY connection to the golf club. Get that wrong and you will NEVER be able to consistently square your clubface. And a square clubface is critical to fixing a golf slice.

Most slicers have a weak golf grip. One that is turned too far to the left on the clubshaft if you’re a right-handed golfer. This left hand position on the shaft makes it very difficult, nearly impossible to bring the clubface back to square at impact.

The proper golf grip should show atleast 3 knuckles of your left hand when you look down at it, when you’re in your golf address position.

I have taken a picture of a stronger golf grip to show you what it should look like. See below.

Try this golf grip to cure a golf slice and I think you’ll be on your way to a slice-free golf swing.

Golf Grip

Most slicers of the golf ball have a weak golf grip, where the left hand is only showing one knuckle, and is rotated too far to the left. A quick fix for a slice is to rotate the left hand to the right until at least 3 knuckles show. When you do this, it is so much easier to have the clubface square and rotating through impact encouraging a nice draw instead of a slice.

Alignment

This is another golf swing fundamental that most golfers get wrong. If you’re a right-handed golfer, and you slice the golf ball, you most likely aim way to far to the left with your feet line, which creates an automatic “over the top” golf swing. Always try to go parallel to your target with your feet, knees, hips and shoulders. When you do this, you will give yourself the best chance at hitting a straight shot.

Golf Swing Takeaway

Another “death move” in the golf swing for a slicer is the takeaway. Nearly all beginner golfers who slice have a takeaway that goes out and away from their bodies on the way back, and automatically comes down from over the top. This over the top move is caused almost completely by this improper golf swing takeaway. For a golf slicer, the swing thought should be immediately to the inside with the hands and butt of the golf club. This will get you feeling and thinking “inside” on both the takeaway and the downswing, resulting in a beautiful draw…with NO GOLF SLICE!

For beginner golfers, learning how to grip a golf club should be first on the list. A proper golf grip,shoulf feel natural, with no tension. To swing correctly, your hands have to be on the golf club a certain way. There is a little room for error, but getting the technique down so you don’t even need to think about it, should be your goal.

Proper Golf Grip

A proper golf grip is one that is the fingers of the hands, not the palms. Most amatuers, including myself don’t get ths correct. When you set the club in your fingers, you now have freedom to make a full wrist cock, which will give you maximum clubhead speed through the ball via wrist lag.

I will go into this in great detail, but for now, I want to briefly cover 2 grips. Continue reading below.

Grip

Most beginners slice the golf ball. One of the main reasons is a poor grip that is considered too weak. So for a right handed golfer that means the left hand is rotated too far to the left, along with a right hand that is also to far to the left.

Strength your grip to cure your slice AND add more power and distance to your swing. Rotate your left hand over to the left so when you look straight down at it you should see atleast 3 knuckles of your left hand. This is exactly what you want, as your hand will naturally want to turn over through impact which will close the clubface and create topspin adding lots of distance once the ball hits the fairway.

Learning how to grip the golf club with your right hand is equally important. You can do a couple of things with the right hand depending on what your new ball flight is. If you are getting too much curvature, you will want to weak your right hand (rotate it left on the club). If you are still hitting it right, then strengthen it (rotate it more left).

In future articles, we will cover golf stance, posture, and ball position.
