Gripping the Golf Club Properly Lays the Foundation for a Good Golf Swing
Get a Grip!
Gripping the golf club properly is the first step toward making a good golf swing. If you are not gripping the club in the correct manner your swing could be affected in many different ways. The three keys to gripping a golf club correctly are fit, alignment, and pressure.
Fit Yeah Guys, Size Does Matter!
Grip size is probably the most important part of being able to grip the golf club properly. Too small of a grip can cause the club to twist in your hands, a result of unconsciously squeezing the club at the bottom of the swing, resulting in a closed clubface. Too large of a grip and the club may come loose at impact, opening the club face. Either way, youre not going to be making good, solid contact with any amount of consistency.
Along with making sure the grip size is correct for your hands, youll need to make sure you are not playing with worn out grips. Grips become worn out and slick through normal wear and tear, oxidization, and moisture damage. A tired or worn out grip will not provide the traction you need to keep the golf club stable...
