Ask the Pro: Clubhead “Open” or “Closed” at the Top
Elaine: Regarding the clubhead being “open” or “closed” at the top of the swing: the grip would obviously have a big effect on this. But how about forearm rotation and whether the wrist is “cupped” or “flat” at the top? These also have an affect. If one follows […]
