Ernie Els' Grip Secret

The very best part of Ernie Els' book, "How to Build a Classic Golf Swing," is learning an impeccable grip.  One of the most fundamental and game-changing aspects of swing mechanics.  Ernie is renowned for his feel and tempo, maintaining balance and finesse in every aspect of his game.  His touch is approved through what he calls a trigger grip, where the thumb and pointer finger come together; much like clasping a gun before really dialing in to your target.  Between these two fingers, and within a micro-housing of the grip,  Ernie can blast a drive, easily navigate a chip shot, and smother the pin with his iron play.
