In Good Hands
The key to a solid, straight shot is often the grip.

By Annika Sorenstam | January/February 2008

I treat my swing like I do my car: If it's not running smoothly, I bring it in for a checkup.

In my 11 years on the LPGA Tour, I've always been a hard worker. But last year, I realized that while I was putting in a lot of time on the range, I wasn't quite sure what I was working on.
