Fix Your Grip – Control The Face
Your grip controls the clubface. Your hands control the swing. And if those two elements aren’t working together, everything else in your swing is a compensation.

In this exclusive Inside the M-System lesson, Mike Malaska walks you step-by-step through how to build the right grip — based on how your body naturally moves. Then he shows you how the hands actually control the clubface, especially in the short game and pitching motion.

✅ What You’ll Learn:
How to find the correct left-hand grip using your natural arm hang
Why the back of your glove tells you everything you need to know
How your right hand supports the club for stability and face control
The exact hand motion to train pitching consistency without flipping
How grip and hand action work together to deliver repeatable impact
✅ This is real instruction, not another tip.
✅ Fix the root cause of bad shots — your grip and face control.

✅ Key Takeaways
How to find your correct left-hand grip using natural arm hang
Why the back of your glove tells you everything you need to know
How your right hand supports the club without tension
The hand action needed for consistent pitching without flipping
How grip + wrist movement deliver repeatable, square impact
