USE YOUR TABLE- TENNIS CHOPS TO SQUARE THE CLUB In Ping-Pong, the palm of your hand reflects how open or closed the face of the paddle is when you smash the ball. That’s a good thought to have when you take your grip in golf. When placed on the club properly, the palm of your trail hand will match the orientation of your clubface throughout the swing ( right ). Remember- ing that can help you square the clubface at impact to hit straighter shots or even curve the ball when necessary. You’ll have better control of what the face is doing, which is key to good ball-striking. Another way to get your trail hand in the correct position on the club to match the clubface is, imagine you’re shaking hands with the handle when you place your hand on the club. Now you’re ready to hit better shots.
