How to Grip a Golf Club, Commonalities of a Functional Golf Grip

[woodzie264]

I was working on grip just this morning!  Good video - I have gone to gripping in the air since taking an instructive thrashing over several months from a certain online instructor a couple of years ago 🫢.  Still never quite got it right 🥺

I ask nearly all my students to grip in air in pre shot routine. Much easier to set in fingers.

Trail Hand

 

The placement of the trigger finger pressure point (first pad of your index finger just above the knuckle) is important. Too far under can cause the club face to appear too "closed", face aiming towards the sky at the top of the backswing. Too far on top can cause the face to rotate too far underplane on the takeaway.

Realise this is VERY old thread, but the above comment has been an absolute game-changer for me. I've gained 10m (easy) with Driver on average since I started doing this. Previously I was holding it - still in the fingers - but fingers all together. I find it helps me feel when the release should be, direction of the shot, the whole nine yards. I do have to be careful with Driver to strengthen the grip up a little with trail hand to accommodate it. But it's been going extremely well.

This is why I don't actually teach "grip it in the fingers."

I don't care about the text… I'm just looking mostly at the picture.
