Lee Trevino reveals 1 way to check your grip — with ‘tip you’ve never heard of’

One dot.

And that, Lee Trevino says, is one method to examine your grip. He even sells the concept properly.

“I’m going to present you a tip right here you’ve by no means heard of.”

In the event you’re new right here, these 12 phrases introduce Trevino properly. He’s a participant, with six main wins and dozens of different victories, and he’s a trainer, with the entries beneath ‘Lee Trevino tips’ on Google greater than sufficient proof there. To the latter’s finish then, we’ll attempt to add one other, thanks to a video shared this week by the Golf Handbook Instagram web page (the place you can too find countless other insights).

To start, Trevino, a right-handed participant, held up his proper forearm.

“You see this forearm?” he stated on the video. “You place a dot on this forearm. If that forearm is dealing with up and also you’re a fairly good participant, likelihood is you’re going to hook this ball as a result of that is the rubber-band impact.”

The rubber-band impact? We’ll let Trevino proceed.

“This arm — you ever see a man strolling down the road this fashion? [Trevino motioned with his right forearm facing palm-side up.]

“No. If he’s strolling down the road this fashion and he lets it go, watch. The arm will go [Trevino flipped his forearm over] — it’ll return to there. See that’s the factor. The fingers and the arms will at all times need to return to the pure place.

“So once you need to hit a bizarre shot, you alter the place to the place it’ll work again to your profit.”

[Editor’s note: The author, also a right-handed player, often hooks shots, so he played around with the tip on Saturday — and he may or may not have noticed something. Let’s continue.]

Notably, the Golf Handbook Instagram submit summed issues up properly.

“The speculation right here is that the fingers have a pure hanging place [like the normal man walking down the street]and it’s this pure place that they are going to return to upon influence.

“Due to this fact, if a participant grips the membership with the precise hand rotated clockwise, it’s going to naturally need to return to its pure hanging place by rotating anticlockwise, inflicting the face to level left.”
