Handsy Golf explains the essential 'clamp' feeling that elite golfers maintain throughout their swing. The video demonstrates how to move the club from the palms into the fingers and how to position the trail thumb to create a secure pivot point for a proper wrist hinge.
Ensure the club sits in the fingers rather than the palm to maximize leverage.
Create a 'clamp' feeling by pinching the fingers and curling them around the grip at a 45-degree angle.
