Does anyone here believe the grip and forearms can be firm while the wrists remain workable?
In other words....If your firm grip carries into your wrists locking them then a problem has been created. Usually moving the handle out of the palm and into the fingers keeps the wrists from locking. Once you know what it feels like you can adjust your grip...When many hitters are told to focus on the hands they immediately relax or tighten everything from finger tips to elbows.
It seems difficult to absorb but try it....
That pretty much sums it up. When I swing I don't think of tightness in the grip. If I do try to swing with a loose grip, bad things happen. If I try to hit with a tight grip, I don't do as well as a regular swing. Can't even attempt to swing with stiff wrists. Grip doesn't matter on blackout-pure-sweet spot hits. Hits off the sweet spot will go farther with a firm grip. IMO
