A quick fix many adopt is a strong, or &ldquo;hook,&rdquo; grip&mdash;rotating both hands so the &ldquo;V&rsquo;s&rdquo; formed by the thumb and index finger point toward the back shoulder. While this can help square the clubface at impact, it often compensates for a lack of proper hand and arm rotation through the swing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"552\" data-end=\"754\">For long-term improvement, a neutral (square) grip is the better solution. A proper grip helps train your awareness of where the clubface is throughout the swing, leading to more consistent ball flight.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"776\">With a neutral grip:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"1095\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1glx51w\" data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"883\">The back of your left hand and the palm of your right hand should align with the angle of the clubface<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"vopvpu\" data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"965\">When you look down at address, you should see about two knuckles on each hand<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"g50ntq\" data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1095\">The &ldquo;V&rsquo;s&rdquo; formed by your thumbs and index fingers should point roughly toward your trail shoulder&mdash;not excessively to the side<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1270\">Practicing in front of a mirror can help reinforce proper positioning and build muscle memory.
