Stage: Beginner to Intermediate
Stage Characteristics:
1. Place left hand at the top of the club.
2. Holds the index finger out to show that it is going to be connected to something.
3. Hooks the right hand pinky finger with the left hand index finger and places the right hand below, but touching the left hand.
