Ironically, in an attempt to simplify the golf swing in his mind held the grip in his palm which zeroed down that #3 angle. Moe said he copied how baseball players held a bat- in their palms- but after sending my son to several nationally renown ‘Hit Doctors’ this past year, this is NOT the case anymore. Even Ted Williams held the bat handle more in his fingers than palm 50 yrs ago. Why? To release the head of the ball- a "flick of the wrists" to turn over the top hand torque power of the hand path- that can’t be accomplished held dead in the palm. A larger fatter bat handle my have appeared to be more palm-ish, but it is the fingers that ignites bat speed.
