Set your grip: fingers, trail hand, parallel creases

The coach gives three grip fundamentals he considers absolutes: hold the club in the fingers rather than the palm, place the trail hand (the right hand for a right-handed golfer) on top of the lead thumb, and set the creases formed on both hands so they run parallel. He notes getting the trail hand on top helps produce a good impact position.
