Coin drill for grip pinch and connection

The coach describes a coin drill for training the pinch between the lead thumb and forefinger. Turn the club, place a coin in the notch between your thumb and forefinger, and pinch so the coin stays in place. He suggests practicing making some swings with the compact club while keeping the coin held there to feel the connection.

Try it

  1. Turn the club and do a little bit of pinching
  2. Take a coin and put it in between your thumb and forefinger in this little notch
  3. Pinch that together and that coin will stay right in there
  4. Practice making some swings with the compact club, keeping that coin in there

Why this context matters

Part of a lead-thumb grip build; the coin trains the thumb/forefinger pinch.
