@bufenuf642 : The lifeline grip works like a charm. You are hammering the ball

Jack Kuykendall explains why the lifeline grip in the trailing hand—famously used by Moe Norman—is superior to the traditional finger grip for power and accuracy. He argues that palming the club creates a mechanical 'hammer' advantage, ensuring a square clubface and preventing the late, open-faced strikes common even among tour players.

• Place the club grip in the lifeline of the right (trailing) hand rather than the fingers.
• The lifeline grip provides a 'hammer' mechanical advantage for more direct power.
• Traditional finger grips often lead to an open clubface at impact for amateur golfers.
• Adopting this grip can significantly improve face squareness and shot consistency.
