The grip

Step one: Left Hand.

  • The correct golf grip can vary between golfers although there is a standard grip.

    • For right handed players, grip your left hand at a 45 degree angle near the top of the grip.

    • Turn your palm facing yourself, so the grip is aligned with the knuckles and the farside of the palm. 

    • The Grip should feel like it is not resting in your palm, but rather  being supported by your fingers.

    • In order of right to left fingers, curve your index,middle, ring,and pinky around the grip.

      • This should ensure you can feel the bottom of your fingers supporting your grip.

Left hand: Part Two

  • Roll your thumb around the side of the grip and support the grip while doing so.

    • This should allow you to induce proper stability, while still having full mobility of your wrist.

Right  hand: Part One: 

  • Place your left pinky finger around your right pointer knuckle.

  • Twist your right pinky, and ring fingers around the grip of your nail beds are near your left thumb.

  • Place the ball of your thumb, or upper palm your lawn thumb and align your right thumb above it.

 

Significance: 

  • The grip is significant in your golf game as it allows you to be more creative with your shots, and allow you to execute the other movements correctly.
