Grip Pressure + wrist action
Yoda et all...

I've read that a firmer grip is better as with the machine the hands are the "clamps" that hold the club. I find that this creates a certain amount of tension at setup. This also causes the wrists (which I've read should be soft) to firm up as well. Now in an effort to create lag, I find that on the downstroke I actually create less lag due to the tension. In watching your driver video, Yoda you create a TON of lag! At start down the shaft bends ALOT I would love to have that much lag! The only way I find that I am able to even come close to that is with softer hands. And then using PP#1 to drive down the plane line.

YodasLuke, your distances in the other post are very impressive. How firm is your grip?

Are firm hands and soft wrist a learned skill? If so any ideas on how to work on this?

Thanks!
