Right hand grip

[labrador]

Does holding the club in the palm instead of in the fingers give a better pressure at pp1 and pp3?

[exgolfpro]

I wouldn't think so. If I grip the club in the palm, it no longer lays against PP3.

The one thing to make sure of, is to have the shaft on plane with the right forearm.

Where does that leave the club, in the fingers or in the palm?

Let me have a go at it ... fun subject

club in the right fingers anyway.as the right hand will "cup" the left thumb.

The only difference with Hitting and swinging for TGM is that for swinging the right trigger finger PP3 is shaped in a Hook shape and the PP3 is on the aft yet upper . Hitting is on the aft and side. so swinging is 1/4 turn more clockwise than hitting for PP3 position. and Hitting have heavier Pressure feel than swinging.( correct me if i am wrong but thats what i experience)

by having the club more in the palm, the Accumulator 3 is thus reduced.

The #3 accumulator is established in the left hand.

Make sure you have the shaft on plane with the right forearm and the right hand flat/bent/vertical. This get both #1 and #3 pp on the right place.

yeah.. i am talking about the left hand and accumulator 3 when club more in the palm.... as no matter what, the club is always in the fingers of the right hand no matter what. sorry for not being clear...

hehe...

anyway... from my understanding, its much much more important that the right forearm, PP1 and PP3 is On plane at impact fix than setup..... its strictly a matter of preference and maybe some even scientific preference how we setup.

that being said, how strong the grip we will also affect the amount of accumulator 3, and hand height... well. of course this part i am parroting off David Orr. But I tried it !

I promised mrodock a photo of Brian Gay's right-hand grip 'opened up' when we worked this week at the PODS Championship at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida. Unfortunately, my camera ran out of memory before I could do the deed -- my checklist of 'necessary gear' is growing all the time! -- but I did manage to get these shots of last week's T-2 Honda finisher, Boo Weekly. He is a student of my student, Mark Blackburn, PGA, GSEM, a Professional Contributor to LBG and a wonderful player and teacher who is fast making a name for himself on the PGA TOUR.

#1 Boo Weekly and his caddie, Joe Pyland.

#2 Boo telling mrodock, "Matt, this one's for you!" Check out that On Plane Right Forearm!

#3 Boo's completed grip. Can you say "Strong Double Action," boys and girls? I knew you could!

#4 Boo was taught by his childhood teacher to focus on these first two knuckles of the left hand. He always checks these to make sure his grip is not getting "too strong."

#5 The right hand grip opened up. There you go, Matt!

#6 Start Up with a short iron.

#7 Into the Finish with the driver.
