Mike Malaska discusses instinct and grip. A member wants to know if you can get it too strong. Mike says yes, it is possible. Starting with your left hand, take a club and act as if you were going to hit something. Where you place your hand is about where you want your grip. Repeat with your right hand and then put both hands together. The joints should line up to where you have the most amount of force and where it is most stable. The thumb should go on the side of the shaft, not on top. Instinct will tell you not to put the thumb on top because the club would pull out of your hand when you hit. If your grip is too strong, you would have to turn it far underneath, and then your hand would want to turn back to line your fingers and joints up where they were. Again if you take the club and act like you’re going to hit something, instinct will tell you where you place your hand and thumb.
