Yes, his left hand is rotated more to the right, creating that strong grip. It allows him to close the clubface, especially on his approach shots.

That’s great advice! It’s just a challenge figuring out how high to set my grip pressure during different shots.

Experiment with different pressures during practice rounds. Also, consider the type of shot; tighter for chips, looser for drives. It takes time to find the right balance.

Jon Rahm’s grip has a unique blend of power and control. I suggest watching videos of his swing to really isolate how his grip works. It might help to know the specific hand positions!

Absolutely! I think practicing with a mirror could really help to see if you’re mirroring his grip position accurately. Plus, it can help identify any tension issues in your hands!

I’ve found that focusing on the more relaxed grip is key. Remember, too tight and you’ll lose feel. Has anyone else experienced grip tension?

Definitely! Tension can lead to poor shots. I suggest practicing grip pressure while putting on the green to fine-tune this muscle memory!
