LETTER FROM TOM BURNETT
M AY 2 0 1 9
Address Introduction:
The address is what sets up all the cause and effect relationships in the dynamics of your
golf swing. The alignments, angles and balance of your body will set the stage for your
ability to repeat the movements of your body motion as well as the way the club, wrist and
arms swing.
Grip:
Figure One
Place the club in your left hand so that the grip handle will run
diagonally through your palm. The butt end of the grip handle
will extend approximately 1/2 in beyond the hand with the
muscular heel pad more on top of the grip handle.
Figure Two
The left hand and fingers should now be on the club that the
left thumb runs down the center of the shaft. A V is formed
in the webbing between your left hand thumb and the side
of the hand above the index finger. There is also an evident V
between the top of the index finger knuckle and the middle
thumb knuckle.
