Anyways, with regard to the left hand grip, it is specific to each individual.
Let your left arm hang at your side (which is low point) and keeping your body and left arm completely still, place the club in your left hand with the heel pad (Thenar muscle) on top of the grip and the clubface perpendicular to the target line, and you will have YOUR perfect left hand grip.
You should always align your clubface at low point, BTW, which will result in the clubface being slightly open at address. (Although, of course, less and less so the ball moves forward.)
thanks, that would put it a little stronger that what I have had in the past. I am trying to be a hitter. I am new to TGM, but I do have Yoda's DVDs and have learned a lot. I do basic motion and acquired with a right arm thrust or at least I try to make it that way. Only thing is, I have been setting up at impact fix. I have been setting up at adjusted address ball middle to slight forward. I use Ben Doyles setup routine. I started my own thread on the grip and PP#1 so as not to threadjack here, if you want to reply in that one.
Thanks for the help
Joe
