You can strengthen your grip by turning your hands away from the target to promote a draw, but an easier way to produce right-to-left ball flight is to reduce your grip pressure. In fact, changing your grip tension will allow you to hit a draw, fade, and other shots without making any other swing or stance adjustments. To get the feel of whats light, what's tight, and what's right, think about grip pressure on a scale of one to ten, with one being the lightest and ten being the tightest you could grip the golf club. For normal shots you should be a 5-6- just enough to support the weight of the club through the swing. To produce a draw...reduce the pressure to the 3-4 range. If you need to fade the golf ball....increase to 7-8.
Practice feeling different levels of pressure from 1-10. Remember...no matter what level of pressure you choose, try to keep in consistent through the swing.
