Was reading a very good thread on this subject from 2012 and thought I would throw this out there again and see if there has been any changes in thoughts about the proper grip pressure over the last several years?
When I was younger I used to always grip it and rip it. Used to wear out gloves regularly. Now that I have “fully matured” (got old) I have went to light grip pressure and can’t remember the last time I wore a glove out from grip pressure! Sweat yes, pressure no.
When you look at a pro up close they seem to apply more pressure just before pulling the trigger. They all have forearms bigger than my thighs and that comes from hitting so many balls but grip pressure on each one of those swings plays a major part in those forearms.
Ive read about increasing grip pressure while maintains loose wrist and this is just an oxymoron for me.
Whats everyone’s thoughts on proper grip pressure? Thanks
