Pinch the grip with thumbs close

The Handsy Golf coach's closing grip point is that both thumbs need to stay close to the hands, with a pinch in both hands rather than separated thumbs on both sides of the grip. He says those pressure points give leverage, the face is square, the club should be actually in the fingertips, and the grip makes it easier to move the hand as one unit.
