It’s also important to focus on grip pressure. A grip that’s too tight can contribute to a closed clubface, leading to that snap hook.

I’ll definitely consider recording my swings. What’s your take on the relationship between speed and snap hooks?
That’s an interesting point! Higher swing speeds can exaggerate the effects of a closed clubface. It’s crucial to maintain control, especially at faster speeds.
