Loosening Your Grip Because the Face Looks Shut at Setup Is Ruining Your Impact Most golfers think the hands are supposed to return to the exact same position they were at address. But at impact, the hands are about two and a half inches higher and a little forward... and weight is forward too. That's the actual impact position. When golfers feel what a correct setup for that impact looks like, the face feels way too shut. So they loosen the grip and square it up from there... and completely destroy any chance of hitting it straight. You're not gripping the club for address. You're gripping it to reach impact in the right position.
