The moment of truth in the golf swing is when the club impacts the ball and using an impact bag will help you get the correct feeling of impact
A good grip will help your wrists activate in the golf swing correctly and will add power, distance and accuracy to your swing.
A tension filled grip, especially from having the shaft too much in your palms, will kill your entire swing. It stops your wrists from hinging naturally and then works its way up your arms and into your shoulders and locks up your entire swing.
