Grip the club in the fingers, not the palm, for speed

The speaker argues that gripping the club in the palm of the hand keeps you from producing clubhead speed — from a palm grip, he says, people can't produce speed and lose speed. He challenges the viewer to try skipping a rock from the palm of the hand, and attributes the speed loss to gripping in the palm and not using the levers correctly.
