Grip pressure: Thumbs up!
Article by Cheapgolf
I don’t know when the golfers are playing the golf which way they choose. I guess not all the golfers take a correct way to play it.
Here is some advice. Coaches tell us there are three points of grip pressure when you place your hands on the Mizuno MP 53 Irons but it’s important not to grip the handle too tight. For a right-hander, place your left hand on the club so the index finger form a trigger of a pistol point between your feet.
If you feel you’re shooting more toward the target you have a strong right hand grip and you’re probably going to hook the ball. If you feel you’re shooting away from the target, you have a ‘weak’ right-hand grip and you’re probably going to slice the ball.
The Mizuno MP-57 Iron Set are a crowning achievement in the evolution of Mizuno’s award winning Grain Flow Forging and Cut Muscle technologies. The Product Development team undertook the task of making the MP-57’s the first MP iron with a full cavity, resulting in a significantly larger sweet area than any other iron in the history of the MP line. Along with increased forgiveness, the MP-57’s with Cut Muscle technology will deliver the feel and shot making ability that MP iron players crave. Most importantly, the MP-57’s deliver all these playing aspects, yet in a classic head profile that appeals to the better players.
The three distinct grip pressure points are a) in the the last three fingers that trap the club underneath the heel pad of your left hand b) the two middle finger of your right hand, whether interlocking, overlapping or a two-fisted grip and c) where your right palm overlaps and exerts downward pressure on your left thumb.
Golfers tend to pinch between right thumb and forefinger and hold on too tight at bottom of grip, this puts a lot of tension up your right arm which can mess up your golf swing.
Try doing what Jack Nicklaus did throughout his career – as you set up with your grip give the shaft a couple of soft taps with the right thumb to relieve tension and stay loose. Nicklaus felt that even with his right thumb off the shaft it didn’t make any difference to his ability to swing the golf club.
Mizuno MP-62 Iron Set with breakthrough dual muscle technology were designed for the player who covets workability and shot-making control with forgiveness. The dual muscle technology perfectly blends two muscle pads: an outer muscle pad allows for a precisely placed CG, providing an enhanced sweet area for maximum playability, while the inner pad delivers more mass behind the impact area for solid feel and the feedback better players demand.
