I recently google image searched the key words "baseball grip" and was amazed that there were few baseball pictures available. Take a guess at what kind of pictures did appear... Golf Instructional Pics with many of them titled "10 Finger Baseball Grip." You guessed it, "Knocking Knuckles" aligned. Are you serious? Is a golf swing really the same as a baseball swing? They share a few similarities, but hardly the same. How many baseball players have you met that are good golfers (other than pitchers of course). When's the last time you've seen the hand contact position with a golf ball with a palm up and palm down? To me, it's hard to believe that some where along the line the evolution of baseball instruction has influenced the world of golf? Or let's take a minute and think, was improper baseball information formulated, taught and found more successful in golf? Sure thing. Check out the pictures on this site ... there's your proof. NO MORE KNOCKING KNUCKLES IN BASEBALL, PLEASE!
Knocking Knuckles should be considered a GOLF GRIP ... Check out the following sites and you'll see why ...
"Baseball" GOLF GRIP VS BASEBALL GRIP
This is a "Baseball" Golf Grip and Hall of Famer Ted Williams' "Baseball" Grip
Which looks stronger to you? So I leave you with this ... WHY DO WE TEACH KNOCKING KNUCKLES IN BASEBALL?
