The Weak Points: Problems of Conventional Round Grips
|
| |
  |
| |
When using conventional grips, they tend to create gaps between hands and
the grip due to its round shape, which would cause the inadvertent breakaway
from the original swing track during backswing and downswing.
The conventional grip leads your fingers to wrap the round shape and only
certain parts of the palm and fingers get pressure because the surface area
of touching the grip is very limited. This pressure doesn't allow you to
feel the actual weight of the club head, and your wrist would not be flexible
enough to perform the proper cocking, releasing and follow through. It makes
not only the speed and the distance of the ball decreased but also generates
the slice or hook from the typical arm swing.
In order to accomplish the targeted distance, you must hit the ball at the
exact center of the head face (as called "Sweet Spot"), but it would be hardest
for most of amateurs. Slicing occurs when the ball is hit at the toe of the
club face (opened), and hooking when it is hit at the heel (closed). It obviously
results at least 30% loss of your expected yardage. You tend to have stronger
grip to prevent the case that the ball hits other than the sweet spot which
causes the grip twisted inside of your hand on impact.
The grip is the most important part of entire swing. The ball can travel
toward unwanted direction even with the perfect swing if the grip is not
set up properly. Needless to say, it is almost impossible to keep consistency
of the perfect grip at the every set up, since there is immeasurable variance
of the angles when set up the grip with the conventional grip.
