The Grip |
T![]() Most golfers are familiar with the basic grip, which is where the hands are placed on the club in such a way that the thumbs point down the shaft towards the clubhead. However, there are many different variations of the grip, and each one can produce different results. The biggest issue I see is the hands are not molded together so then they can’t work together. Usually, the trail hand takes over and tries to hit the ball. Make sure the hands are turned on the club to help your ball flight and have them working together. For example, a stronger grip (where the hands are turned more towards the trail shoulder) will tend to produce a hook, while a weaker grip (where the hands are turned more towards the lead shoulder) will tend to produce a fade. The grip you use can also affect the trajectory of your shots. A grip higher on the handle will produce a higher trajectory, while a lower grip will produce a lower trajectory. Mostly the reason is it changes the arc thus a smaller swing. It's important to experiment with different grips and find the one that works best for you. Ultimately, the grip you use is a personal preference, but it's important to be aware of how it can affect your shots. If you're having trouble with your grip or your shots are not going where you want them to, don't hesitate to seek out the help of a professional. They will be able to help you find the grip that works best for you and make any necessary adjustments to your swing. |
