Having the correct grip will allow you to have a solid swing. When you can consistently hit the ball out the center of the club you can start with your accuracy. It is very critical to hit the ball towards the target square in the club-face upon impact. Your grip is the only part that connects your body and the entire motion of the swing to your club-face angle. Improving your grip will affect your swing. The game involves a lot of timing and having a good grip will give you a better chance of hitting the ball squarely. This way you won\u2019t have to change and force the club-face square. Ultimately, it will give your swing the consistency and fluidity it needs.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"antig-397720436\" class=\"antig-content antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ReggaeInTheParkAntigua\" aria-label=\"lucanio\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-105898\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:960\/h:678\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png 960w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:212\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:542\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:100\/h:70\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png 100w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:696\/h:492\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png 696w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:595\/h:420\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Swing.png 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
