How To Grip A Golf Club
The golf grip is the most important part of the golf swing. It is also the most difficult to describe in words, that is why I made a video that is very easy to understand.
Without a decent grip the hands will not be working together thus producing inaccurate golf shots. The best way to describe how to produce the correct golf grip is to first take and hold the golf club with your right hand on the golf shaft just below the end of the golf grip. Make sure that the toe of the club head is pointing towards the sky. (In the video below there will be a detailed description of this).
We are now ready to start building the perfect golf grip. Taking our left hand, place the golf grip and place it across the middle of our palm so that the butt of the grip is secured against the meaty part of our left hand and extending through the middle of the forefinger, and then wrap the left hand around the grip. If doing this correctly while holding the golf club with the right hand and the toe of the golf club is being pointed towards the sky, our point that we make with our left thumb and our left index finger should be pointing towards our left shoulder, while the club is now on the ground. All we do now is add the right hand on the golf club by either overlapping the right fore finger to the left index finger, or interlocking the right pinky finger with the left index finger, and securing it on the club so that the palm of the right hand is wrapped around the thumb of the left hand.
Notice when this is done correctly that there is also a point that is made with the right hand as well as the left. Also if done correctly these points match up and run parallel together and point to the right shoulder. This is called a neutral grip. In the video below is a very easy to understand way to make this perfect grip, it also covers the difference between a strong grip and a week grip.
