The Golf Grip

The golf grip is a major fundamental of the golf swing. Golf grip, (position of hands on the club), allows the club to return to the hitting position without manipulation of the hands. If we wanted to manipulate the club you could hold it anyway you wanted but consistent shots would be hard to duplicate. The club is always held in the fingers of both hands. Hold the club for now just in the left hand with your body in golf posture position and arms hanging straight down from you shoulders. When you look at your left hand you should be able to see the first two knuckles. Now bring your right hand toward your left and wrap your fingers around the grip, the lifeline of your right hand should cover your left thumb. Both v's created by the thumbs and forefinger should be pointed to the right shoulder.
