Those bird metaphors are pants. I would like to put some kind of spongey grip on a club and let a "bird grip" person swing with it (then weigh and measure water loss from grip pressure) against Tiger's grip pressure, or some other tour pro who can bang 'em out. I grip my club pretty firmly as well. It's a control thing; strong hands, fluid arms. You shouldn't tense up your whole arm, but I really think it's BS to not hold the club firmly. I'll kill the bird, I don't care. Kill a bird, get a birdie.
