Strong grips & typical swingers compensations......

[lagster]

What are the typical swinger compensations for a strong grip?

Are they generally faders or drawers of the ball?

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Most of the Swingers with a Strong Grip(10-2-D, or 10-2-F) usually FADE the ball... Lietzke, Duval, Couples. Trevino and Azinger also have a Strong Left Hand Grip, and usually Fade. Some may argue that they are Hitters, but both look to me to Swing, especially on their DRIVERS, AND LONG SHOTS. Trevino says he aims LEFT, and just "BLOCKS IT DOWN THE FAIRWAY." They are probably using ANGLED HINGING.

Ed Fiori "The Grip," has a very Strong Grip, and I believe plays a draw, so it can be done. The Strong 10-2-F grip usually tends to produce FADERS in good players. O'Grady, of course, uses a Strong Grip, and can curve it however he wants.

I switch to a stronger grip if I want to hit more of a draw, or hit it lower/crisper (for tight pitch shots, etc.) or hit it a bit further.

For me, it means more of a draw...
