Gday,
Im pretty sure my grip pressure increases on my down swing as I near impact.
How, or what drills are there, to allow me to have the same constant grip throughtout my swing?
Cheers

Judging by what Ben Hogan said, an increase in grip pressure on the downswing is normal.

Of course it increases. You are having to hold on to a lot more opposite force as you near impact. The only way to even it out would be to start with a very firm grip.

I think TGM has opinions on this.

Try gripping the club more in the fingers than the palm of the hand

Any chance you are actually regripping on the downswing, or more correctly at the top but you would probably feel it on the way down?

Stop thinking about it would be good advice and concentrate on keeping your arms soft. If the grip turns in your hand through impact it is because you have missed the sweet spot area. It will be more pronounced if you have stiff shafts and heads that have a small sweet spot area, such as blades and the muscle backs.

Well I Ben Hogan says that it's normal, then who am I to argue. =)
