proper grip
Right hand position
A proper grip is the correct way to hold something—a golf club, tennis racket, handgun, or tool—for optimal control and performance.
Sports and activities have established standards for what constitutes proper grip, often taught as fundamentals: Your proper grip will prevent the club from twisting on impact.
The phrase implies there's a right way that improves results and reduces injury.
