Grip pressure

Hi, I’m having trouble keeping the last three fingers of my left hand closed as soon as I move the clubhead.
Actually, the tip of the finger stays closed on the club, but the rest of the finger opens up.
It feels as if I’m only holding on with the very tips of my fingers

Hi Arthur,
When you are holding on with your index finger and thumb, rather than the last three fingers. There are a couple things to look out for. If it's really awkward to keep the fingers closed, and you dont' have a situation like arthritis preventing you from gripping it, then it's more a technical issue. It usually means that you are using too much the front of the shoulder muscles (anterior delt and biceps, sometimes pec major). Instead of the deeper muscles. The deeper muscles tend to make the arms and body feel more connected. One experiment would be seeing if it was easier in a towel drill.
Good luck!
