Have been playing the SM9 58° T grind and starting to see some issues in my game with it. On some full shots, I will feel the club dig and seemingly get stuck in the ground. I have seen the same digging issue in bunkers as well, which has become my biggest concern. I do like the way the leading edge sits flat as you open the clubface. Wondering if anyone has had this issue and which direction they went if they changed clubs.

This essentially strengthening my lead hand grip, correct?

@joedizzy1978 @Valtiel thanks for the input. I snuck some swings in this evening I will post below. Only thoughts were to lead hand grip more in the fingers, ball position more forward, and less shaft lean at address. Have you noticed how grip size may positive or negatively affect your grip on the club? IMG_1770.mov IMG_1766.mov

Using rapsodo mlm2 pro with rpt balls for my numbers and am seeing 9i spin at 10,000 rpm and 7i spin at about 8,500 rpm. Had a lesson recently and the pro talked about increasing shaft lean to lower launch and spin so that I can see some distance gains, but I am struggling with making any progress. Have tried to hit some punch shots where I really feel my hands ahead of the ball but not seeing much improvement. Hoping to hear if anyone has struggled with this and what they did to improve. Thanks. IMG_1750 2.mov IMG_1750.mov
