G one: How about giving us a refresher on how to grip the club. Even after so many years playing, things do creep into the grip. -

I will have to disagree with that. While using the hands properly is important, I believe-IMHO(ok, maybe not so humble)-the placement of the hands allows them to work together or not. In order to use the hands effectively, they have to work together.
Poor placement of the hands, in the words of Harvey Penick, is the root cause of most swing problems.Comment

I am with TID here in that the hands must create a Yin Yang relationship in the grip. I prefer to set the hands on the club so that they respect the natural bio-mechanics of the arms and hand alignment. It is true that the grip can be set in any manner of ways and compensations can be made to return the clubface square, although to me it is more desirable to start with a natural connection that will have every chance of returning without undue manipulation.Originally posted by takinitdeep View PostComment

So the question remains, which type of grip(s) promote the most hinging of the wrists, workability of the hands, and, on plane swing.Comment

I'd think that by 43 posts, you'd have some sort of feeling for the spirit of GTO by now, Guys, please help Bampot with his question.Last edited by Ian Hancock; 08-08-2007, 07:19 AM.Comment

Sorry Bampot I have not read the book so cannot assist you.
I did state an opinion on one of the posts and apologise if that has offended you, it was not intended to, that's the way many of the threads evolve in an open forum. Of course we should also do our best to answer the original post.Comment

It was not my intention to be offensive, however, it does annoy me when no effort is made to give some thought to intent of post.Comment

I assume that Bampot has by now received an answer to his question on a review of "A New Way to Better Golf" by Alex J. Morrison. So this response is extremely late, but perhaps someone else will find it helpful.
I just finished the book which I obtained from Great Britain. I am a 76 year old guy who has lost much distance. I found Morrison's ideas very helpful for me by increasing the length of my swing and by taking advantage full advantage of cetrifugal force.
He promotes left side dominance thoroughly and describes all aspects of the swing which I found very easy to follow and perform. I have not used the swing on the golf course but have practice in a net and found my swing speed much faster and easier to move the club at higher speeds than I have in my past swing.
The book is very old (written in 1932) but I found Morrison well ahead of his time and the book well written. If someone is having trouble increasing clubhead speed, I highly recommend this book if you can find one.Comment
