Question from Micheal: Strong
Grip
Dear Micheal:
In recent years there has been a transition
to a stronger grip with the left hand. A few years ago the pros wanted
to fade the ball. Now most of them want to draw the ball. My Specialty
Shots video demonstrates the adjustments that can be made to change
the flight pattern of your shots.
A strong grip
with the right hand is not advised. You may ask "if the left hand grip becomes stronger
shouldn't the right hand grip become stronger?" This would be
so if the objective was to keep the hands parallel. However, that
is not the objective.
Stand up facing the mirror. Allow your
hands to drape naturally by your thighs. Notice that the thumbs both
point inward. The bottom line is, that in their natural state. The
palms are not parallel to each other.
The natural relationship of the hands should
be maintained when gripping the club. The right hand, like the left
hand, is on top of the grip. The left thumb is on the right side
of the grip. The right thumb is on the left side of the grip. All
of this is consistent with my Automatic Golf method.
Golfingly Yours,
Bob Mann
