Since evidently I'm reviewing fundamentals this week, I concept I'd publish this antique video of Byron Nelson talking approximately how to create a grip that helps you square the clubface. It has bits and portions from several clips Lord Byron had achieved before, so it is a incredible study how his grip advanced.
Watch the video, then I'll recognition on a few matters to help you create your personal grip -- even in case you don't do it exactly like Nelson.
First, I've taken a still from the video and added a white line to emphasize something you should know, no matter whose grip advice you take. Take a look:
Do you see that white curve I added near his lead hand? He has the club handle leaning very slightly forward but there's still a pronounced curve from his forearm to his wrist. Some teachers do this, some don't. Whether a teacher does this or not affects all the other advice he or she gives you, so make sure you know whether they 'curve' their lead wrist like this or not. It's super important to know that if you want to get the results that teacher wants you to get.
In this case, even though Nelson says that the back of his lead hand is pointing at his target, the same way the palm of his trail hand is, it doesn't look that way when you see this picture. You need to understand that when the back of your lead hand is 'square' to the target, it may actually look as if your hand is at a slight angle. That's because most of us, when we stand with our hands at our side, actually turn our hands inward at a slight angle. Stand in front of a mirror and take a good look; you probably do it too.
That way that 'square to the goal' means that your lead hand is at the same angle as it's miles when your palms cling at your aspect. Again, that's super vital to understand that so one can get the consequences you anticipate.
Finally, please note that Lord Byron says that the lead hand guides the club and the trailing hand provides both power and feel. He also says that your trailing hand shouldn't swing past the lead hand -- or, if you prefer, the trail hand shouldn't swing FASTER than the lead hand -- or you'll end up mis-hitting the ball. You are using both hands together, and that's why teachers emphasize relaxed forearms and wrists. If they are relaxed, they will travel at about the same speed and you're unlikely to flip your hands at impact.
I wish you locate the video beneficial, and additionally that the suggestions in this publish assist you get higher consequences from whatever grip your trainer is teaching to you.
