An open-faced grip tends to produce which release pattern through impact?

• A. Livelier arms and hands
• B. Slower wrist cock
• C. Delayed release
• D. Tighter grip pressure

Answer: (A)

An open-faced grip tends to promote a livelier release of the arms and hands through impact. With the clubface more open at setup, the hands can release more freely and earlier, allowing the wrists to uncock more quickly and the forearms to rotate through contact. That active hand/arm action through impact is what produces a quicker, more energetic release. The other ideas describe more constrained or delayed release, which is less consistent with how an open-faced grip tends to behave.
