Once we realise that the grip is the only connection between the player and the golf club – we will also realise why it is so crucial to get this part of our game right. Essentially, we need to achieve the correct golf grip.

Placing your hands correctly on the club will give you the best possible control of the club face at impact with the ball. For the perfect grip, the club should be held in the fingers more than in the palm of the hand.

Beginning with your left hand (right handed golfers), lay the grip across your fingers` joints – running at an angle from the base joint of your little finger to the first joint of your index finger. Wrap your fingers around the grip and place your thumb to the right side of the shaft (left side for left-handers). When you look down at the back of your hand, you should see two knuckles – those of your index and middle fingers.

Place your right hand below your left hand on the shaft,(reverse for left-handers), using either the overlap or interlocking grip. Initially, as with any change you make to your swing, set-up, grip, etc. it will feel rather strange, but after some time and practice it will soon become second nature.

Another important element which, helps with the correct golf grip, is the wearing of a glove. The reason for wearing a glove is to enable us to grip the club as lightly as possible while still having control of it. The lighter we are able to grip the club, the faster we are able to swing – which in turn generates more club head speed, which equalsgreater distance.

We can also use the glove as an indicator of an incorrect grip – if you notice excessive wear in the heel or palm of your glove, then your grip may need some adjustment or fine-tuning.

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “there’s more than one way to skin a cat!” Well, Golf is no exception. There are many different Choices and Preferences that you can make whilst trying to find the Correct Golf Grip. There are however some general areas of agreement amongst the best Teachers and Players in the World and these are:

The Correct Golf Grip needs to be learned! If you’ve never played Golf before in your life and I was to give you a Golf Club, you would almost certainly instinctively hold it in a way that would firstly, hinder the amount of Club Head speed that you could generate, i.e. you wouldn’t be maximising the potential distance you are capable of achieving and secondly, you would find it very difficult to get the Club Face back to square at impact on a consistent basis, i.e. you’d be spraying it all over the place.
Learn the Correct Golf Grip to begin with! of course it can be changed at any time but the longer your muscles and brain get used to a faulty Grip the longer it will take to feel comfortable when applying the Correct Golf Grip. However, if you want to start playing better Golf and reach your potential, then the pain and frustration that you will go through will be well worth it.
The Palms of each hand should be facing each other, or probably slightly inwards! If you stand up and let you arms hang naturally down by your sides you will notice their positions and this is how they should facing each other on the Grip to encourage them to work together. If they are not aligned in a parallel position then they will be working against each other and result in a greater lack of Club Head speed and consistency.
Grip Pressure, it should be light enough to encourage Club Head speed and Feel and firm enough to stop the club from turning in your hands. Think about the feel you get when shaking someone’s hands, not too firm so your crushing it and not to light that it slips out.

Ultimately you need to find the Correct Golf Grip that you feel comfortable with and one which will help you achieve your best potential results.

In terms of Choices and Preferences, there are 3 main Correct Golf Grip styles:

Overlapping Grip
Interlocking Grip
Ten Finger Grip

The Overlapping Grip which would generally be considered the Correct Golf Grip for Golfers with large fingers and strong hands and was introduced by one of the games great players Harry Vardon.

The Interlocking Grip should be considered if you have smaller weaker hands, as you may feel you hands are more secure and unified with this Correct Golf Grip. Jack Nicholas is a great example of someone who uses this type of Grip

The Ten Finger Grip is generally used by Juniors or ladies with smaller hands and not recommended for those outside of this group, as the right hand will have a tendency to put more pressure on the shaft and make it difficult for both hands to work as equal partner.
