The grip seems very basic, but could very well be the most important part of the swing.Improper tension in your golf grip can throw your entire swing off.An improper grip can impede accuracy, and the shaping of shots by advanced golfers.
You should never hold the club hand over hand like a baseball bat, or axe handle. The interlocking is where the golfer slides his left index finger between the ring and pinkie fingers of the right hand.The left index finger will lay on top of the right pinkie or on top of ht notch between the pinkie and ring fingers, this is the overlapping grip.The grips encourage the hands to steady the club throughout the swing.
The grip should begin about one finger width from the end of the club, or more, for shorter controlled shots.You should hold the club in your fingers and pads of the hand, not in your palms.The thumbs should align straight down the club when the hands are closed.The forearms come together to form a V toward the club.
Your grip should be firm enough to keep the club from moving in your hands, but otherwise very loose.Resist the urge to tighten the grip, try to keep it loose.Experimentation and repetitive practice will help the golfer find the right grip.
Through practice, the golfer will find that the grip will become a natural part of the swing.It should not be overthought, but it is very important. It is recommended that a golfer always keep a club nearby, and just practice applying and reapplying the grip over and over.
