Faulty Grip

photo credit: klavr     If you grip the club incorrectly, you will never have a good swing.   An improper grip will create a condition where continual adjustments will have to be made during the swing.   These continual swing  adjustments will create inconsistency.  

The swing is a very complicated maneuver, a faulty grip complicates it even further.   One of the most difficult tasks for any golfer, especially if they have been playing for a number of years, is to go from a poor grip, to a  good grip.   If a golfer has a bad grip and is shown the correct grip, all of a sudden he will begin hitting bad shots.   This is because his new grip forces him to re-adjust his swing.   It's like starting all over again.
