What type of grip tends to work with livelier arm and hand release patterns through impact?

An open-faced grip is recognized for allowing a livelier arm and hand release during impact. This type of grip promotes a natural, fluid motion that can help generate more clubhead speed and better distance control. The open-face grip tends to encourage a more relaxed wrist position, allowing the player’s hands and arms to release more freely through the impact zone. This results in a more dynamic swing, as the arms and hands can react more spontaneously to the forces generated during the swing.

In contrast, grips that are more closed or neutral can restrict the natural release of the arms and hands, often resulting in a more limited range of motion. A weak grip can allow for some movement, but it traditionally does not foster the same level of dynamic release that an open-faced grip can provide. Consequently, using an open-faced grip can be particularly beneficial for players looking to enhance their ability to release the club effectively through impact, maximizing both power and accuracy.
