Excellent pics. However, I am still under the impression the Tour players hold the club more in their right fingers instead of the palm.
D,

Lose the club for a while. Start with an open hand and assume Level Bent. Cock your right ARM up by bending your elbow. Then do the same thing with a closed fist. Once you got that. Get a 48 inch dowel from the hardware store. Do a search on dowels on this site and in the archives. The best way to learn to keep the shaft in the plane of the right forearm is to start on a horizontal plane. Work there some and then drop it down on the inclined plane. The feeling will be the same and much different.

Yes. The tour players hold the club more in the fingers than the CUP of the right hand. But if you get the grip in the cup of your hand it will be much easier to get the shaft on plane with your right FOREARM. The tour guys don't start there, but the do infact get there. But why not make it easier on yourself and start there.

Good luck man!
