		Because the club is held in the fingers (the palm wraps around the thumb of the right hand), you should develop calluses on the insides of the ring and middle fingers where they touch the club and where they touch each other.
		The most common mistake is to develop calluses on the thumb and forefinger of the left hand.

	Sample text for Library of Congress control number 85014558
		The "pincer fingers," the forefinger and thumb, are wonderful for performing countless tasks in daily living such as opening doors and picking up coffee cups, but they are no good at all in helping you to build a good grip and a good swing.
		The explanation behind this is that the muscles of the right forefinger and thumb connect with the very powerful set of muscles that run along the outside of the right arm and elbow to the right shoulder.
		If you work the tips of the thumb and forefinger together and apply any considerable amount of pressure, you automatically activate those muscles of the right arm and shoulder-and those are not the muscles you want to use in the golf swing.
