Is it possible to make the saguto / plummer / hogan swing consistent with a very strong grip position? because nothing makes me feel more secure and comfortable than a strong grip with both hands, especially the left, between 3 and 4 knuckles in sight, and also the right hand so that my arm opens and my right elbow is down which helps me a lot not to come from above. I have tried to learn this swing with a neutral grip, or barely strong with the left hand and neutral with the right, and I am very happy with everything, except that before I had a worse swing and ball impact, but it was predictable with my game of Constant right to left error, now with this swing I can miss both sides, sometimes fade, sometimes draw (and almost never a hook which was my main problem with my old swing). This situation has caused me confusion on the field, because before, when I grabbed a crooked day, since the error was always from right to left, I pointed a little to the right and my shot with error was more predictable. Pato Angel Cabrera (perhaps the most Hogan-like swing I've seen in the modern era), and winner of 2 Majors, Augusta and US Open, who hails from my city and my club, was asked what he would do if a One day he entered the court crooked, and he replied: ¨I do not fight with my swing, if one day I am hitting to the right, I aim to the left, and if I am hitting to the left, I aim to the right. I correct mistakes on the driving range¨.

Thank you again Tom. Respect to V1, i Will do. I promess. Thanks a lot. J
@jlpg33 - I previously released this members' only video on the strong grip. You can certainly use it, but you need to be aware of how it affects the clubface. Also, if you search the word "grip" on my YT channel you will find a number of videos, including this one on finding your "natural grip". Also, please refer to my reply to your previous comment regarding the "Hogan Grip".
Beyond this, you may wish to give some thought to the V1 Swing Video Analysis - an effective and inexpensive service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. This enables me to put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific observations and corrective action plans if applicable. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site.
Thanks,
Tom
