Reverse a slice with a trail-arm-under grip and feel

To reverse the face-to-path relationship, the instructor rebuilds the grip: set the lead (left) arm on top, then move the trail arm underneath - the feel of 'giving blood' - before turning the hand onto the club, which sets the forearms and swing circle one way. Then you feel that the clubface is aimed left of where that circle is going.

Try it

  1. Get the left arm on top so that turns this in, then grip
  2. Take the trail arm and move it under, like you're giving blood
  3. Turn the hand onto the club - that sets the forearms
  4. Feel what that's done to the swing circle
  5. Feel like the club face is left of that
