Florent Alès's Method: A Solid Foundation
His lesson on the grip illustrates his practical approach. There is no such thing as a perfect grip, he explains, but a neutral grip leaves the clubface just as open on one side as on the other. His first tip: take the grip with the club held at mid-height—just like the pros do in their pre-shot routine—rather than with the club resting on the ground, to establish the correct wrist angle right from the start, with the left hand holding the club.
