another thing you may want to do is pay attention to how you are aligning the face too . . . you can have a 10-2-B grip but the face can be closed and then you got yourself a "strong grip". Vicey versy too . . . . you can have the face open and put your hands on it strong. You want to be sure that you are getting your hands on there good . .. but you also want to be sure that you have the face aligned to to the impact/separation conditions you are trying to achieve . . . which can get into a whole discussion about hinge action. But that being said if you set up with a "shut face" and your trying to hit a draw and start the ball to the right of your target line . . . . your going to have to do some things with the golf club (shaft) to get the face open enough to start the ball to the right (ball separates at 90 degrees to the face). Same with a true "pull" cut . . . it needs to be looking left enough to get the ball to start left.

But basically make sure you are aligning the face to the shot you're trying to hit. If you have the face conflicting to the path your trying to move the club on you can set yourself up to fail. You don't want to set up a situation that could cause a major divergence of clubface and path (angle of approach).
