Handsy Golf addresses the 'lobster claw' grip fault, where gaps between the fingers lead to a loss of control. He demonstrates how to 'sew' the fingers together to create a secure clamp, ensuring the club stays in line with the hands for maximum leverage.
Eliminate 'lobster claw' gaps by pinching fingers together for a seamless connection.
Position the lead thumb so it is only slightly extended down from the knuckle.
Seal the right hand against the left thumb (the 'clamp') to ensure the palm faces the target/sky before wrapping over.
Maintain this tight hand connection while hinging the club to keep it on path and under control.
Focus on applying force with the palms rather than squeezing too tightly with the fingers.
