Exercises
In connection with any discussion of the grip one question that I am frequently asked is, "Do you exerciso your hands?" The answer is that I do, but not-as much as when I wasn't able to play as much as I am playing right now. The condition of your hands is very important and if you don't get a chance to play often it is a good idea to exercise your hands and keep them in condition.
Your hands must be strong and yet at the same time sensitive to the demands put on them. They must be strong and at the same time have a delicate touch becauso there are shots in golf which require the finesse and touch of a master billiard player if you are going to pull them off when they will mean the most to you.
