While actually giving lessons, is there anything you really wish amateurs would do? Grip. Grip. I want to tell many golfers that rather than gripping weakly or loosely, it’s important to increase the adhesion of the palm to the grip. This way, when you make an impact, you’ll have the grip needed to apply force and overcome it once more when the ball and the club head meet. Everyone tends to clench their fists as if fighting. But if you fold the joints well so that your fingers go snugly between them, you can grab with your fingers, right? Then the wrist becomes very flexible like this. So you’re saying to fold it here? Think of playing the piano and hold it as if you’re playing the piano with the idea that it neatly goes between the grip at each joint. If the joints of your ring and middle fingers bend neatly, a Vline is nicely formed. That’s how you get adhesion and can exert more force while overcoming resistance. That seems to be the starting point. This is really a great tip. So what about the left hand? I think the left hand is a real matchup whether I’m a draw golfer or a fade golfer because the power is applied, transmitted, and endured by the left hand. If the grip strength of the left hand decreases, you need to go in a direction that suits you. But these two are different. Some people just grasp it like holding a pull-up bar, while others hold it at a slight diagonal, at an angle. However, even there it varies because some people have shorter fingers compared to the palm length, which affects the grip. For the left hand, you shouldn’t set a fixed answer. It’s better to find a grip that suits your swing type and gives you the feel you desire.
