weak grip
Can't hold tight
A weak grip is one that lacks strength or firmness—unable to hold objects securely or shake hands with conviction.
In golf, a weak grip refers to hand positioning on the club that tends to produce a fade or slice, with hands rotated away from the target.
Figuratively, someone with a weak grip on something lacks full understanding or control: He has a weak grip on the facts.
