the grip

I have been having problems keeping consistency and i believe that my overly weak grip may have something to do with it. when i try to make my grip stronger i feel awkward is that normal. Does the proper grip really feel weird or is it just me.

A strong grip or even a neutral grip should pretty well feel the same. Your problem is muscle memory, you've used that grip for so long its been ingrained into your muscles. Try a neutral grip and only swing easy for the first dozen goes or so, give your muscles a chance to get used to the grip and swing. When you grab ahold of a club it should be an automatic, you shouldn't think about it, just do it.

neutral is by far the best grip ..lets you fade and draw the ball with ease

I have changed from a weak grip to a strong grip and found it difficult and unnatural feeling;however I am used to it now and I am still hooking drives!!

Yes, initially, it will feel awkward, but this is just because it is different. A lot of things that are right in the swing, feel wrong, but after you ingrain the feeling of these changes, they start to feel natural.
