How tight would the grip be, if you would like to bend the shaft by pushing the clubhead against something.
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
Moe Norman held it tight, Sam Snead loose. The strong single action grip is designed to support the shaft at impact. Assuming you have the shaft and right forearm on the same plane wouldn't you want the right hand to be tightly gripped?
Birdie Man was right on- And certainly everyone here seems to agree with a firmer grip for hitting, but as I have posted before- if you're chopping down a tree with an axe- you're using CF- i.e. swinging. If you're pushing on an axe handle to split shingles/shakes- then you're "hitting".
