As a 'child of golf', or as childish as a singlist would tease me, I received another precious gift from Victor on Children's Day, beside which I saw Chris and VJ have gradually come into their adolescence after I scored 88 with my back aching on the link course under its freezing north wind and cutting drizzling with a nearly lost-temperature condition, which was really a challenge to me as a warm-up test before April 19 and 20.
The gift itself also looks 'childish', or precisely depicted, it is quite rudimental, too basic and too simple for most weekend golfers to have a glance at --- how to hold the grip right, which is CRUCIAL to a solid and effortless swing with correct finish and trajectory. I appreciated Victor's passion to golf and his egoless sharing with me, hoping not only us to be 'adults of golf' soon but to maintain his legendarily reputed appellation, Fan Fan Xiao Tien Tsai.
The Canon of a decent grip holding for a right-handed player should be amid the followings:
1. Left palm and right fingers speak.
2. The butt lies on the upper right of the thick pad of the left palm where the wisdom and emotion lines would converge, slightly diagonally extending to the joint of the index finger and the palm, with the last three fingers holding arround and the thumb and the index finger passively and naturally attached beneath, firmly but not tightly.
3. When the left part is well settled is the right middle and ring fingers to neck arround the grip right seamlessly on the left index better with the right finger-palm knuckles mounting onto the grip. In other word, to the right hand, the grip is held almost only by the middle, ring fingers, and a slight margin of the upper palm. The pinkie rests calmly on between the left index and middle fingers, with its first knuckle against the left fist edge. The left index seamless lies beside the middle finger, holding arround the grip with the right side of the right thumb.
4. The grip pressure will be as easy and natural as when holding a furry duckling or a fragile egg, firmly flexible, not tightly rigid.
But why so? Here are the clues:
For 1. and 2.:
The club is the extension of left hand, the main lever arm to transmit the torq. And so it should be as parallelly alligned with the left arm to avoid the unnecessary pressing of the left wrist, and the swing direction is dominated by the left palm. If the left thumb and index finger are too tight, they will restrain the natural flip squaring of both hands when impact.
For 3.:
Too palmly holding of the right hand will labor more right finger holding to ensure a firm grip, yet more curly the right hand is will more likely to disable to maintain the cocking position when down swing, which will more easily produce a fade, or more unluckily, a slice. Both trajectories are the unwelcome villains to undermine a long and powerful shot.
For 4.:
If you should like to see the swing leverage to function as ideally as you wish, just let the arm 'swing' freely and smoothly. Holding too tight is one of the main hindrances to fast club speed, bullet-fast speed!
But not too loose... or you'll replay an ancient historical drama, whose playwright was pseudonymed as 'the Grease Fixer', 'The Oldie And His Trident'...
