I'm an "unauthorized" instructor and i give lessons to people who ask for them (family and friends)

I usually have them hitting a better shot within 10 balls most of the time.

One thing i have learned about the grip is that you don't want to RADICALLY change someone's grip right away. For instance your friend's grip was very strong which is "ok." As long as the PPs are on the grip correctly.

What you could've explained to him is that the strong grip is ok but the COCKING of the right wrist is not. So with that strong of a grip a "small cup" in the left wrist is going to be normal.

Just some ideas......
