A few things factor into a good golf shot and amongst them are
your grip, posture and swing. While all these things come into
play, some consider the golf grip the most important one of all.
If you don't have a good golf grip, you can forget about your
swing because no matter how hard you try to train or fix it, it
will still be broken until you nail the perfect grip.
To get the perfect golf grip just, follow the 5 simple steps
listed below:
1. With the golf head down, grip using only the last three
fingers and the pad of your left hand. Grasp with your left hand
and adjust the club so the grip is in your fingers, not your
palm.
2. Make sure your left hand's thumb is straight down. The point
where your thumb meets your hand should be near the top of club.
3. Next, grip with the fingers of your right hand. Note the
small vertical crease in your right palm near the wrist. Overlap
the creases of your hands.
4. Grab the pinky of your right hand with the index finger of
your left. Note the index finger and thumb of right hand. You
should see a 'V' where they meet. That vertex (the point where
they meet) should point to your right shoulder.
5. Make sure your right thumb is not running straight down the
club but instead is pointed slightly toward your right shoulder.
If you follow these instructions, you should be able to obtain a
solid golf grip. The following golf tips will also help you
improve your grip and help you feel more comfortable and
confident with it.
* The best way to double-check whether your golf grip is correct
is to look at the amount of knuckles you can see on your left
hand. If you can see three of them, it means that you're in good
shape. 2 or 4 means that your club's face is either too open or
too closed.
* An important golf tip to remember is that your grip needs to
be firm yet relaxed. Holding the club lightly but firmly is what
you should do. Don't try to choke it because tenseness in your
golf grip will lead to a poor swing. Remember, the more relaxed
your grip, the straighter and farther you'll hit the ball.
* There is a golf tip to avoid gripping too tightly. Extend your
target arm and hold the club at an angle in front of you with
the heel pad of your left hand on top of the handle. This puts
the club across the top joints of the fingers (where the fingers
meet the hand). The heel pad supports and traps the club.
Hopefully relieving you of the need to hold it in a death grip.
* A common error golfers have is a weak lead-hand grip (left
hand for the right-handed golfer). A weak lead-hand tends to
produce slices and your shots will lack power. So take note of
this golf tip if you have slicing problems.
* Practicing your golf grip isn't crucial but it can help in the
long run. If you know your grip by heart, you'll settle into it
easily without much thought. For golf, the less you need to
think about and the more natural your grip and swing feels, the
better the shot.
