my misses are either dead-pull or leave the club face wide open. which i think are consistent with an OTT move..... of course with weak grip, if i wasn't wasn't OTT i'd push/slice the ball like mad....
i fiddled with strong grip last time i played. i was pull hooking alot. but i thought a bunch things afterwards: 1) pull/hook not that far from what i'm trying to achieve; 2) i was still aiming for my potential big slice; 3) harder i swing, the better the shot; 4) i can develop proper swing in to out (and i think the change is pretty natural with strong grip) ... some other stuff but i forgot.
but basically, i can swing really hard and have good shots with a strong grip. it's more fun that way anyway. with neutral/weak, i had to hold back and/or really concentrate on swing path and release to hit good shot ..... i ripped off the "harder i swing, the better the shot" from brooks koepka....
I made my grip stronger years ago, but I still have to watch for the same problem. My left hand will stay where I want it to (grip wise), but my right hand slowly creeps back to where it was. So, when things start feeling odd and contact is poor, I will sometimes notice that my left hand V is pointing at my right shoulder and my right hand V is at my chin...or even left of that.
Anyway, just saying that if you mess around with it, watch for one hand getting out of sync and trying to get back where it was while the other hand has bought it to the change....lol
