It has taken me awhile, and I apologize to those who have been waiting, to post some different shots of the grip. Attempting to teach someone a new grip through words and pictures alone is very challenging. I hope these additional pictures help.
The first picture is taken from above to show you how much the grip in the left hand sits in the fingers. While the heel pad sits on the top of the grip, the thumb pad does not in fact make contact with the club. I could very easily run a finger underneath the thumb pad. There is absolutely no hand or thumb pressure at all.
You can also notice how the heel pad of the right hand sits on the middle, ring and pinkie fingers of the left hand. The finger nails of the middle and ring are covered up. No part of the right hand is in contact with the club. To refresh, if the grip is truly in the fingers, you can control the putter effectively with no tension in your hands, arms or shoulders. You can let it swing itself, which is the topic of an upcoming post.
In the other picture, you can see the finished product. One of the reasons I touch my forefingers is that I want my hands to feel as one. When the right heel pad covers two of the left fingers, the right arm will be less prone to straighten because the hands are not split apart. If the right arm is straight, it can become too heavy and put undue downward pressure on the putter.
