Shallow a strong grip with the lead arm

For a player keeping a strong grip, Saguto simplifies the motion: go to the top with a little cupping, start down, and keep the club shallow using the lead arm. He says the face stays square, both arms extend through impact, and the shoulders control the swing. The point is to avoid micromanaging compensations like extra tilt or firing the hips.
