Holding a golf club may appear to be an essential component of the game, but it is not. Not only that, but it may also be the most significant. Many pros and coaches will tell you that if your grip is bad, your stance and swing will also suffer.
Having a Beginner’s Golf Club
It would be beneficial to resist the urge to strike your golf club like a bat at your golf ball. Though that seems like a lot of fun, you won’t have much influence on the range. The most critical aspect of your golf swing is, without a doubt, your grip. It serves as the foundation for your golf swing and is your only link to your club, so treat it carefully! Trial and error can sometimes be the most effective method for handling a golf club.
Holding a Golf Club Step by Step
In the next part, we’ll go through the three types of fun golf grips in further detail. First, however, before you begin experimenting with how to handle a golf club, you need to become acquainted with your club. Then, whatever grip you choose, these step-by-step guidelines will assist you in establishing a firm foundation for your grip.
- Hold your club in front of you, waist-high, horizontal to the ground, and square to the club face.
- Always use your left hand to grasp the club. Then, stretch out your left hand’s fingers and connect the club handle with your left palm, forming a straight line diagonally across your fingers.
- Wrap your fingers around the club. The heel of your palm should lie along the top edge of the handle as you grasp the club with your left hand
- When you look down, turn your hand to the right until you can see your left hand’s two knuckles. This will result in a neutral grip, which is a good starting point for many golfers.
- Place the heel of your right hand on top of your left thumb, covering it—the left hand. Next, close your hand, forming a ‘V’ with your thumb and fingers that points to the center of your sternum.
Brown Golf Grips Varieties
Golf grips are classified into overlapping, interlocking, and 10-finger grips. Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all grip when learning to hold a golf club, but understanding the nuances is beneficial.
- Grip with 10 Fingers
- All 10 of your fingers are on the club, thus the name “ten-finger grip.” Unfortunately, this grip is not used by many experts, although it is pleasant for particular newbies to the game.
- Because each of your fingers is touching the surface of the grip, it may be a forceful grip, and it is a good grip for a golfer with small hands.
- Grip overlapping
- One of the most prevalent brown golf grips is the overlapping or “Vardon” grip. This is when you place the pinkie finger of one hand in the ridge between the index and middle fingers of the other hand.
- The main advantage of this grip is that it is helpful for anyone with extensive hands.
- Grip Interlocking
- The interlocking grip begins with the 10-finger grip; merely connect one hand’s pinkie finger with the index finger of the other hand to bring your hands closer together.
- The main benefit is that it ‘locks’ your fingers together so that both hands work together, giving your golf swing more power.
