Common Faults - Grip When Golfing
An all-finger grip and getting the left hand on top, so that four knuckles show,
go together. It’s almost impossible to hold the club entirely in the fingers of
the left, without getting the left on top of the shaft.
When dropping the right hand lower and lower, some people feel they will get
more power.
Well, they are all wrong and they go a long way toward
ruining what might be a good shot. When the club is held entirely in the fingers
of the left hand and that hand is on top of the shaft with three or four
knuckles showing, there is an overpowering tendency to roll that hand over to
the left as the club comes into the ball at impact. When this happens the face
of the club is turned over and closed, or hooded. The result is a bad smother or
hook. That is what happens with some players.
