Set your hands so they can release

Two grip mistakes make a slice almost inevitable.

Many players use a grip that’s too weak–with the thumbs pointing straight down the handle. Make your grip stronger, so your hands are turned away from the target and your palms are parallel with each other. If you drew lines up from the base of your thumbs, they should hit the point of your collar on the right side of your shirt.

Also, gripping too tight keeps the hands from releasing through impact.

Take a soft grip.
