Freddie I've seen different instructors talk the long thumb vs short thumb on the top hand (left hand for righty golfer). ive heard long thumb for better and proper wrist hinge and short thumb for better head control and speed. Butch teaches short thumb.
I heard art with the long thumb there is a point of it being too long. I've used shirt thumb for awhile and my previous three instructors haven't said anything about it one way or the other.
Was reading recently that using long thumb prevents wearing out of heel and thumb sections on gloves because the hand never let's go of the club. On you the things I want to focus on with my upcoming lessons is the fundamentals and with the grip that's the biggest thing since it's the only body part that touches the club. I'm curious on your thoughts and the thumb lengths.
