But,Im not forgetting my original query re-too much #2,I do believe that has been answered,thanks again,I rely on your input. Im trying to adopt TGM lingo,Im learning....Thanks again BM Ah increased grip pressure at the #2 pressure point. Grip pressure , pressure points , power accumulators they're related but not the same thing ......... I like a firm grip at the last three fingers of the left hand and at the middle two on the right hand, Hogan style, personally. Well when using my full shot grip as opposed to say a putting type grip with the #3 accumulator zeroed out. Chipping with that grip would normally be for longer chip shots.... longer than 25 yards or so but yes the last three fingers of the left hand are alive with grip pressure and loaded by the pulling . Assuming Swinging chipping ... most likely 4 and 3 in terms of the Power Accumulators if Im using that grip. Two accumulator Swinging chipping in other words. The "putt chip" with the putting grip for short one Accumulator type chip shots can have a more even grip pressure in the hands. It being a more delicate and precise operation. Gripping down on the shaft (shortening the lever) and zeroing out the #3 angle add considerably more control over distance / lag pressure regulation. We do it when putting why not when short chipping? Consider the sand wedge, for instance , when chipping with it you're chipping with a club that is designed to hit the ball up to 90 or 100 yards . It makes sense to dial down that potential power by gripping down and zeroing the #3 angle , softening the grip pressure in addition to just shortening the length of the swing. "Machine Adjustments" for added precision and power regulation. Most chips are too long or too short rather than too far left or right. Distance control is job one.
