Symptom: Slicing, poor follow through, losing your balance, incomplete shoulder turn.
Overview: Figure out how loosely you can hold the club on a full swing without having the club fly out of your hands. You will be surprised at how little grip pressure this takes! Then grip the club slightly harder than this, and execute your swing.
Why it works: Too much grip pressure puts tension into your arms, and prevents you from keeping your wrists cocked on the downswing. You must keep your wrists cocked to preserve the "lag" in your golf swing. The wrist cock keeps your clubhead on an inside path and prevents "casting" and an "over the top" motion. This will help cure your slice. Indeed, if you try flinging a stick underhand, you probably won't grip the stick as tightly as you are gripping your golf club! The need for the lightest possible grip pressure is why your best investment in golf equipment is probably to get your clubs regripped, not to get new clubs.
