In golf, you don’t just think about the swing and the clubs. You have to think about the golf grip, too. So here are a few golf grip tips that you can use to enhance, if not perfect, your game.

Tip #1: Choose Your Grip

There are three kinds of grips in golf that you can choose from. These are the interlock, the 10 finger, and the overlap. If you are a beginner, try the overlap or interlock grip. They are simple to do while at the same time they give you control over the club and the ball flight. Aside from this, those grips also give you a good feel of the ball. A third reason why these grips are good for beginners is that they are easy to master and you can easily get used to using them.

Tip #2: Strong Grip or Weak Grip?

There are some people who say that a strong grip is good to have. This is because it gives you good control of the club as well as prevents you from ending up with a thrown club after a swing. Besides, it also encourages a hook or draw. There are also some people who prefer a weak grip since this also allows them to relax and swing the club freely while at the same time encourages the slide or fade.

Confused of which you should have? Don’t be. A good grip for you is the one that feels most natural to you. It should be a relaxed and comfortable feel to you. Always remember that a very good golf swing grip is the very foundation of your golf swing.

Should you want to have a stronger grip, try moving your left hand over your right hand just a little. [Read more...]
