There are some major differences between a strong and a weak control.

We harp at the bases very much here – and for good reason. The basics are Building blocks for success And they are essential for the nail if you are serious about improvement.
A fundamental that has a huge impact on your golf swinging is control. Your hands are the only connection point between you and the Golf Club, so the way you keep the club is quite important. If you have poor control, you are setting yourself for failure before you start the swing.
A few weeks ago, we published a story with Top 100 Golf teacher Debbie Doniger about Fundamentals of club capture. Today, we will get a little more in weeds while discussing two different types of gloves: strong and weak ones.
Firm handle against the weak syllable
Once you start getting a little more in weeds as it belongs to golf instructions, you will start listening to some terms you may not be familiar with. A couple of these consider control. You will usually hear the “strong” and “weak” terms when it comes to control.
What does that mean? Well, everything has to do with HOW You are holding the club. More specifically, the terms are referring to the way your hands sit in control.
Firm
When you hear that someone has a “strong” control, you can assume that they are referring to how hard they are holding in the club. However, there is actually nothing to do with your syllable pressure. It is all about orienting your hands on the handle.
With a strong check, your lead-left hand-hand for a right hand player-will return more to the top of the syllable. You will also turn your trail hand to be a little more under the handle.
“Both VS (in your hands) will show more towards your trail shoulder or even outside your trail shoulder,” Doniger says. “This is considered a stronger syllable or a closed face syllable.”

With poor control, your hands will do the opposite of what they would do with strong control. Your lead hand will turn more towards the clock scorpions to be under syllable while your trail hand will also rotate and be more at the top of the syllable.
“VS (in your hands) for a weaker handle or open check is showing more towards the center of your body,” Doniger says.
There is no right or wrong answer for which it is best between a strong or weak control as it all depends on the way your body moves and how you swing the club. Next time someone talks about strong or weak gloves, however, at least you will know what they are talking about.
