Forearms and hands
Having strong hands and arms allows you to secure the club with less effort. This in turn keeps the wrists flexible.

When you have developed a good grip you can start focusing on increasing grip strength. For the left hand you want to be training the last three fingers (pinky, ring finger and middle finger) and for the right hand the ring and middle fingers.

Exercises
There are a couple of ways to train these muscles. You can use a grip strengthening device or a small rubber ball, and squeezing the steering wheel whilst driving to work will work too. Squeeze, hold it for 10 seconds and repeat. Don’t forget to switch hands after a while. Success guaranteed…
