hits.
Unlike other ball players, whose
hands rest separately on the handle
Of the bat his left hand grips the bat
firmly at the end. while the right rests
partly on the left hand and partly on
the bat
This grip Is one usually taken by
the golfer in driving Meusel says
that the grip is a natural one with
him
Il have no special REASON for hold

I think It gives me a greater accuracy
