Neutral grip
 

If one is using a truly neutral grip, where should the line between the thumbs and the forefingers point? To the right shoulder? To the sternum? or somewhere else?

I played yesterday with the lines pointing to my sternum, almost in the center of my body, and hit the ball consistently straight. Am I losing power not using a stronger grip?

It's not so much about where that line points, but about Flying Wedge alignments and Hinge Action/Rhythm. The grip should compliment whether you pull or push into impact, the amount of Roll from acc#3, etc. Just part of the Educated Hands. Grip is 'found' at impact Fix.

Shaft lies under the heel across the palm for the left hand and in the cup of the right hand. This allows each hand to move in its plane of influence. There are strong and weak versions of each grip type. 10-2 goes from A-G. It is all about Hands to Plane. Power is built in each type.

Sorry for the non-answer but once you learn what you need you are that much better.

Right Palm?
 

Mike,

I have never heard that the right hand grip is in the palm? Your not talking about a Moe Norman like grip are you? Please explain some more.

No- not like Moe. The left hand must form an angle for the number three accumulator. The right hand and wrist never cocks so no angle is needed. This places the right hand Level on the grip.

Although my index, middle and ring finger are place under the shaft, my hand 'Levels' as it folds the lifeline over the left thumb. A Level Right Hand.

So when you said too much in the fingers you were refering to a right hand grip that had the right wrist cocked?

I don't know where I said "too much in the fingers" but YES the right wrist cannot be cocked or have an angle pre set in it.

I don't think LEVEL is emphasized enough. Yes, it is Bent, but without Level- you are off Plane- Period.

Switch Hands
 

How about the Left Thumb? Is it placed in a different locatoin for swinging than for hitting.

I read where yoda said that there should be space between the index finger and the thumb, but he was talking about hitting.

Does the swinger want that space? I would think they would.
