White knuckle syndrome
| In pressure situations all of us tend to hold the club a little tighter - this is known as WKS (white knuckle syndrome) and I saw a lot of it during The Links Cup this weekend! Your grip pressure can be compared to holding a dove in your hands; you need to hold it just tight enough so that the dove doesn’t fly away, but soft enough so as not to hurt it. If you grip the club too tight, it restricts the entire swing movement, not allowing your shoulders to turn or the club to release resulting in poor shots. Next time you are standing on the first tee with everyone watching or have to make a pressure putt, try relaxing your hands a little and think of the dove. |
