Correct Golf Grip – pt. 2

Part 2 – Correct Golf Grip
Whether you’re a beginner, high handicapper, or a low handicap golfer… if you want to hit straighter, more accurate shots more consistently, it is absolutely essential that you develop a correct golf grip and constantly monitor your grip and be aware of any subtle changes to your grip. It’s not unusual for your grip, posture and alignment to change overtime and believe me, your grip, posture and/or alignment doesn’t have to change very much before you’re forced to make in swing corrections to hit the ball toward the target. These in-swing corrections breed inconsistency and are an evil we can all absolutely do without.

These in-swing corrections due to not having the correct golf grip or poor alignment, etc. only serve to slow your club-head speed which in turn robs you of distance and they destroy your accuracy and ultimately your confidence and your golf score.
Starting right now I want you to resolve that you are going to learn how to banish these in-swing corrections by developing and maintaining the correct golf grip. This is a simple thing to do and something that everyone regardless of age, gender, physical strength, or level of play should strive to do.
With the correct golf grip, a NEUTRAL grip, if you relax and swing freely, the club will return squarely to the ball time after time producing longer, straighter, and more consistent shots and ultimately lower scores and more fun for you.
I believe it is vital to your golfing success that you develop and use a neutral grip (the correct golf grip) as opposed to a “strong” grip or “weak” grip.
A “strong” grip is one that has the back of the left hand and/or the
palm of the right hand pointing to the right of the target line. A
“weak” grip has the back of the left hand and/or the palm of the
right hand facing left of the target line.
There are numerous variations of weak and strong grips. Some
players use a weak right hand and a strong left hand or vice versa.
Some of these grips have worked very well for some players over
the years but if you are just beginning to learn the game or you’re struggling with your game, the correct golf grip is the place to start and NOW is
the time to develop your “NEUTRAL” grip.
What Im going to show you is designed to maximize performance
and consistency with minimal practice time. I will remind you of
this point going forward. If you practice enough and have enough
God given talent, you can make virtually any grip work but that’s
not why you’re here.
You’re looking for longer, straighter shots and lower
scores and you want to achieve this goal without hours and hours of practice
time, so your fundamentals must be sound which is why were
starting with the one corner stone of a repeating swing, the correct golf grip.
In the next part of this 3 part series I’ll outline step-by-step instructions for developing and maintaining the correct golf grip.
