Drew Powell, Associate Editor at Golf Digest and the mind behind their Mythbusters series, dives into gripping down on clubs. He discusses its effects on distance, accuracy, and trajectory, contrasting robot testing with human variability. Fascinatingly, gripping down an inch improves control but going two inches worsens dispersion due to altered dynamics. Drew also explores which clubs benefit most and offers alternatives like swing adjustments. His key advice? Grip down about an inch for the best results in your game.
