let’s talk about grip pressure Sam Sneed famously once said you should hold it like a baby bird I love Sam to death but I got to disagree with him if I were a baseball player hitting a 90 mph fastball the last thing I’d be doing is holding this bat like a baby bird we know that power is a big part of our game so I’d say Sam it’s more about where you grip it and where you apply that pressure so I want to make sure that I’m applying pressure to the grip I just don’t want to make that pressure be pushing down that’s going to send a lot of tension in my forearms my shoulder and probably my lower jaw I want to make sure that I have all that grip pressure pulling up if I pull up into the grip I can still have Supple wrists elbows and soft shoulders but yet have really good control of the face so when I step in there I want to feel that grip pressure pulling up with my fingers relaxing my forearms my shoulders and my jaw that way I have control of the face I can make a very intentful swing and still have control of the club face so pull up into that grip don’t push down
