3 Steps to a Correct Grip by the Golf Experts

Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 6:12 PM

There are several ways that a player can link their hands together on the club. Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus favor the interlocking grip, but most other top players use the Vardon or overlapping grip, and many coaches recommend that juniors start off using the baseball grip. The decision is really one of the personal choice, so try out all the main types of grip before settling on the method that you find most comfortable.

Three steps to a correct grip

1. Allow the grip of the taylor made burner 2.0 to run along the base of the fingers on your left hand. The index finger is used to form a slight trigger.

2. When you have closed your left hand round the club your left thumb should be pointing straight down at the ground, slightly to the right of center on the grip. You should be able to see two or three knuckles of the left hand. As you position your right hand on the burner 2.0 irons, the grip of the club is again at the base of the fingers.

3. The grip is completed when you close your right hand on the club, so that the lifeline of the right palm rests on top of the left thumb, covering it completely. If the grip with taylor made r11 irons is made correctly, you should be able to see two knuckles on the right hand.

Grip Options

Neutral Grip - A neutral grip, where neither left nor right hand dominated, gives the player the best possible chance of returning the clubface squarely to the target line at the point of impact.

Strong grip - If you can see more than three knuckles on the left hand and fewer than two on your right, the grip is too strong. You will be likely to hook or top many shots with clubs from r11 irons for sale online shop.

Weak grip - If you can see fewer than two knuckles on the left hand and more than two on your right, the grip is too weak. You will be likely to slice or block shots out to the right.
