Martin Hall on Mickey Wright (Video)

This was Martin Hall's Night School video from last Friday. It's hard to go wrong with anything that copies the legendary Mickey Wright -- even Hogan said she had the best swing he'd ever seen. This video has a Wright tip that Martin found.

I like this tip because it's deceptively simple -- just curl your lead fingers across the club cope with as you start your downswing. Essentially all you are doing is tightening your grip a bit. Mickey said this would assist prevent a slice.

PLEASE NOTE: This isn't the same thing as Dustin Johnson bowing his wrist! You aren't manipulating the clubface in any way. You're just firming up your grip so you don't (a) let the club twist in your hand or (b) get sloppy with your wrists and rotate the clubface open. This is just a way to make sure that you start down in the same position that you went up!

I like easy pointers like this. It's quite easy to cause them to a ordinary part of your swing with out too much exercise.
