Are you struggling to add your lead hand back in without messing up your newfound control with your trail hand? Then this is what you need to progressively add it back in.
one of the first challenges you're going to find is how do i get this lead hand to play nice you've probably found that you're a really good putter trail handed after you've taken a few hundred reps to train it and you're probably a really good chipper with just your right hand only but when you put this thing on there things tend to go awry and that is super common you can see it in the comments and and with lessons all the time we hear the same thing over and over again so i have a two-step drill or progression that will help you get the feeling of how to introduce this without messing up all this great feel that you've been developing in your trail hand so the first one is i just call the no finger drill and all you're doing is taking your normal grip i'm interlock so i'm going to interlock but then i take all of my fingers off the club and all i'm doing is holding onto the tub the club firmly with my middle two fingers of my trail hand and my pinky and squeezing down on the thumb of my lead hand with my trail hand so what this does is it gets my lead hand in there so now my core and body and arms all have to work together but it keeps my hand from taking over and wanting to kind of do all sorts of stuff that throws off your directional control and clubface control so hit shots you can hit chip shots just like this and then you start getting the feeling of still controlling the club with your body and trail hand but my fingers are not on the club that's the first step and it'll feel a little awkward at first but if you're really struggling with flipping and doing all sorts of things and losing club face control that will be a really simple drill to get you back on track and start reintroducing this lead hand the second one is after you've done that one a few a little bit and you've gotten the feel but you'll feel it's a little bit difficult to control with their fingers on there like that it feels a little weird once you're ready to kind of grip the club again properly then do a reverse overlap and what that is is take your normal grip with your trail hand have all your fingers on the club and then take your grip with your lead hand but take your index finger and wrap it over your pinky and this will give you again more control with your trail hand so you because your pinky's on there so now you can start to get the feeling of making strokes and controlling with that trail hand without your lead hand wanting to take over and do all sorts of stuff once you've got a feel for that and you still have that same control that you had with just your trail hand only then you can go back take your normal grip and you should find that you have that same control of the club face
