yes - both hands, IMO, are on the 'weak' side, which forces him to 'do' something to square up. He does this in two ways, by getting into an arched position at the top at times, and by effectively moving clubface control to his right hand (especially on iron play).

In 2000, he was keeping his flying wedges in place, both of them.

Now, he either keeps his left wedge and goes right, or keeps his right wedge and 'blocks' his irons (with some left side breakdown)

A very slight adjustment to his left thumb and a slight strengthening of his right hand would allow him to keep both his wedges.

With his current motion, he would do best always playing a fade and/or adding FULL roll. Either of which would be a compensation for not taking his grip at impact fix.

The rest of his motion is so outstanding that he can compensate, but the long term issue needs to be addressed before he is back on 'auto'. He is stuck between his natural trend towards using his right arm, and a grip that requires giving up control to CF and using full roll.


Get his wedges back and grip from impact fix and watch out world!

His grip might have been "stronger" on the club but his left wrist was still just as flat as it is now at the top of his swing.
