For example, even one degree of deflection results 1.75 yards from the targeted pin.
tan Q=0/a, (tan Q)a=0, 0=(tan 1 degree)(100)=tan 1 degree (0.017455)x100=1.75 yards
Let's take a look at the table how deflection of each degree affects the
error range of the total distance. Average 4 to 6 degrees of deflection could
be generated while you hold the standard conventional grip for the shot.

A so called "good grip" will, barring other complications in the swing, bring
about these two requirements. "Bad grips" make the attainment of these two
conditions almost impossible.
The most important of three components of golf club is club head, shaft and
grip, but grip is considered most neglected even though it performs control
of the golf swing. At the very beginning of the golf lesson, golfers need
to learn how to grip properly.
The grip is your only connection with the golf club and the way you place
your hands on the golf club will have a direct relationship to the flight
of your ball. Every PGA tour pros and instructors agree that sound grip is
most difficult but ultimate.
Placing your hands properly on the golf club helps you better control the
position of the club's face at impact. A fundamentally sound grip helps you
create power and feel at the same time.
The hands must work together as a single unit when striking a ball with power.
If your grip is too weak, the clubface angle at impact will be off line,
which will cause the ball to curve. Gripping the club too tight can cause
thin, weak shots that slice. A lighter grip enhances wrist hinge- a vital
power source in the swing because this light pressure increases the amount
of clubface rotation, thus improving your chance of squaring the club at
impact. The bottom edge of the clubface needs to be straight to the target
line in order for the ball to fly straight toward the target. A good golf
grip would be considered neutral, that is, neither weak nor strong. A neutral
grip will allow your hands to react properly to an aggressive swing. Especially
when we get nervous or tense playing golf trying to pull of a critical shot,
the tendency is to squeeze the club a little tighter than normal. This added
tension in your hands will automatically start transferring into your arms
and shoot all the way up into your shoulders and neck furthering the anxiety.
Now your over using muscles in your body that aren't geared to swinging the
club properly. By attempting to over work your hands in your swing, especially
under pressure, will break the wrists which will mean a loss of control and
power. |
