How to do it
Stand facing a mirror and take your normal address position.
Look down at the mirror reflection of your lead hand on the handle.
Count the knuckles you can see, aiming for two and a half.
Rotate the hand slightly on the handle until the count is right, then regrip from scratch.
Repeat for 15 grips.
Goal
Give the golfer an instant visual measure of how rotated the lead hand is.
Feel cue
Feel your lead hand sitting slightly more on top of the handle than it wants to.
Mistake to avoid
Counting knuckles with your hands held up at chest height — the number changes with the angle, so always check from your real address position.
