If your grip worries you. use the
overlapping one, but with variations
according to the kind of shot you
play. Farrell gets his left fairly
well over the shaft to drive, Smith
not so far over for a pitch, and
about every star lets the back of his
left hand face the flag when
putting.
In short, the more delicate the
stroke the more toward the hole
comes the back of the left hand.
For the drive you want all power
possible. To get 1t you have to get
the back of the left hand over the
shaft. AS test, take the club, with
the back of the left facing the hole,
and try to swing it through hard
with that arm. 1t can't be done.
Next place the left over the shaft,
the back of the hand on top. Now
try swinging through with it and
you'll note the greater increase in
power.
But for pitches and puts, where
accuracy counts, the right plays the
shot. Hence the gradual turn of
the left hand around from the top
of the shaft to the left until for a
putt its back faces the hole, deli
cate touch stroke, with right finger
tips dominating.
