If you struggle with knowing where the ball is going after you hit it, you need to first make sure you understand how to grip the golf club properly.
I have written extensively about the golf grip on this website and in my golf instruction book The RotarySwing Tour Certification Manual.
In this video golf lesson, I am going to explain how your grip directly affects your swing plane and other critical club positions throughout the golf swing.
First and foremost, the most important function of the golf grip is that it makes it easier to square the club face at impact. This is the single most critical aspect of the golf swing overall, and your grip is an integral component of achieving this fundamental.
Once you start analyzing your golf swing in terms of positions and swing plane throughout, you will see that the grip also has a direct influence on these elements. That is what I am going to address here.

During our golf lessons, the vast majority of golfers become fixated on their position at the top of the backswing. That is what people associate with what their golf swing "looks like" or what defines the "type" of swing they have.
They focus on things like where the club shaft is pointing relative to the target, whether the lead wrist should be bowed, cupped, or flat at the top.
