Grip
All Clubs - Except Putter

Trailing Arm
Place the club in the palm of the trailing arm to allow the most consistent squaring of the club face at impact. The trailing hand is rotated clockwise approximately 45 degrees from vertical with the club grip resting diagonally across the first knuckle of the index finger as diagramed in the following series of sequential pictures. The second knuckle of the trailing index finger must be positioned directly under the centerline of the shaft.

As outlined below, make sure that the top of the shaft is in line with the center of the trailing forearm when viewed from the target. This will place the club grip in line with the lower half of the trailing forearm.

Leading Arm
The leading wrist is uncocked with the club grip positioned diagonally across the first knuckle of the index finger palm of the leading hand and under the heel pad. The second knuckle of the leading index finger must be directly under the centerline of the shaft. The following series of sequential pictures shows this positioning. The back of the leading hand should be square to the target line facing the same direction as the club face. Because the grip on the club is round, the completed leading hand grip will have a slightly concave appearance as opposed to completely flat or bowed.

The two hands are united with all fingers and both thumbs on the club with the hands as close together as possible. Generally the leading thumb is parallel to the leading forearm and the trailing thumb is parallel to the trailing forearm.
