In this Inside the M-System lesson, Mike Malaska breaks down the right-hand grip and explains why placing the club in your fingers—not the palm—is essential for speed, control, and proper wrist function.
Responding to a viewer question from Nancy Wiman, Mike explains how a palm-heavy grip takes the lever system out of play, reducing your ability to hinge and unhinge for power. Drawing on his experience as a pitcher, he shows how small adjustments in grip position—just like throwing a baseball—can radically affect speed and feel.
You'll also learn the correct hinge direction, how to avoid common over-rotations, and why the right hand should “fold” rather than twist. It’s not just about grip—it’s about unlocking the full potential of your trail hand.
✅ What You’ll Learn:
• Why your right hand belongs in the fingers
• The danger of a palm grip in full swings
• How your wrist should hinge for speed and control
• Why your trail hand is more of a thrower than a rotator
✅ Key Takeaways:
• Palm grips kill your lever system and speed
• Right hand should hinge back, not twist over
• Fingers create control, feel, and natural release
• Trail hand action connects directly to clubface control
