How to do it
Set your lead hand on the handle in a neutral position first.
Open your trail hand and turn the palm so it faces the target.
Close the trail hand onto the side of the handle, not underneath it.
Check that the V between thumb and index on both hands points at your trail shoulder.
Rebuild the grip 15 times.
Goal
Neutralize the trail hand, which is often the real cause of a face that keeps shutting.
Feel cue
Feel your trail palm facing the target rather than the sky as you close it on the handle.
Mistake to avoid
Only correcting the lead hand and leaving the trail hand deep underneath — the trail hand will simply rotate the lead hand back to strong as soon as you swing.
