Summary
What does changing your grip do for your golf game? Turns out, it isn't quite so simple as "stronger goes left." In this episode, Mark leads Lou and Greg in a discussion on how golfers hold the club. Do you release a re-grip the club during your swing? Are you sure? In what ways does grip interact with path? And did an episode of Project Lou break out in a non-Project Lou episode? (Answer: pretty much yes.)
