Golf Basics – Grip
If you want to improve your game the grip is the place to start.
A good and consistent grip will allow you to swing better. The grip should not be too tight or it will put too much tension into you arms. A light grip is better.
Left Hand
Place the club so that the shaft is is pressed under the heel of the left hand and
across the top joint of the forefinger. The main pressure points are the last 3 fingers
and the heel of the hand.
Right Hand
Place the club across the top joints of the fingers and below the palm. The two
middle fingers apply most of the pressure. Practice keeping the thumb and forefinger
off the shaft.
Completed Grip
The hands should work as one unit. the little finger of the right hand fits into
the groove between the forefinger and middle finger of the left hand. The left
thumb should fit into the palm of the right hand.
Practice for long hours and you will earn calluses on your hands!
