Grip pressure points vary by hand: Lead hand primary pressure: last three fingers (ring, middle, pinky) grip the handle — the index finger and thumb add directional control but not primary security. Trail hand primary pressure: middle two fingers (ring and middle) grip the handle — the index finger forms the trigger finger (feather pressure), and the thumb and index finger form a V pointing to the trail shoulder. Common errors: squeezing with the lead hand thumb and index finger (creates tension in the forearm, restricts rotation), gripping too tight with the palm of either hand (reduces feel and wrist freedom). The correct grip uses the fingers, not the palms. GOATY grip training teaches the pressure points that allow maximum feel with minimum tension.
