Grip setup

Re: Grip setup
I would think if your hand is hinged, you have too strong a grip. How many knuckles can you see? Two should be enough. Also, the "V" between your thumb and finger should point up to your chin. Hope this helps.

Unless you're swinging on one plane. In which case, two is an absolute bare minimum, and assumes you hook the ball.

I'll agree with that.

As a one planer, my lead wrist is hinged at address. I'll try and get a picture up in a day or so - my camcorder is on loan.

For me, it's a slight cupping. But now I'm interested to know what's going on at impact. Now I really want my camera back!
