The Vs produced by the thumb and index finger creases will point to the right side of the golfer's head. This grip does not favor one kind of ball flight over another and is ideal for the majority of players. The small bump on the back of the hand known as the "golfer's hump" results when using this grip. The 1s are used to hit straight shots and work the entire field of the face. They are best used with high-quality balls that are not overly soft. The low, flat spot between the first and second fingers helps control the ball during its early stages of flight. Hitting from the shoulder, the swing is similar to that of a normal swing except that it starts later and finishes faster. It is important not to rush the swing and which is why this grip requires more skill than the 3 or 5. The 2 or middle finger is used to cover the entire surface of the ball with the exception of the seam. When using this grip, it is important to keep your hands even throughout the swing or you will have an uneven contact with the ball. This grip allows for more control than the 1 or 4 and comes in handy when trying to get a precise shot such as a close-up of a tree branch or a short, delicate pass.
