| How many times have you tried to rebuild your golf grip? How
often have you searched the library or the internet for a
good book on golf so you can find the perfect golf grip? If
you answer 'many' and 'often' and you are not a brand new
golfer and you have had lessons on your grip, then you have
a problem. Some people may find that hard to understand but you have to realize that there are only three basic golf grips in the golf universe. We have the Vardon grip, the 10 finger or baseball grip and the overlap grip. Any other golf grips are usually very difficult to master and best left to golf gurus or two the golf gods themselves. The grip has one fundamental function-it allows you to hold onto the golf club, bring it back over your head and drive it back down to the ball and have the club face impact the ball SQUARELY! Right straight down to the target. That´s it in a nutshell. Now, some people will say that a fundamentally sound grip will also help you to create power and so on [and that may be true] but all of that really is secondary to hitting the ball squarely. It doesn´t do any good to have a powerful shot that just goes farther over into the woods. So, when you are having problems try looking beyond the golf grip. Take your setup. A bad one will usually make your golf grip seem like it just doesn´t feel right. So you end up changing the grip instead of the setup and you still have problems. And so you keep going in circles, changing your grip and still not feeling right and still driving the ball in a book or a slice or topping the ball. Nothing changes except your grip. And in frustration you begin to change other things and all you´ve done is created more problems for your golf game. Here is a good tip that you can try. Go on the Internet or go to your local sporting goods store and look for a good golf swing training aid that has a built in molded grip on the handle. This will ensure we were that you always have your hands gripping the club properly. If you get one of the golf swing training aids that breaks at a hinge when you swing it, then you are going to begin to see exactly where you were going wrong in your swing and not in your grip. These induced training aids break anywhere in the swing plane where you are swinging incorrectly. You don´t have to guess. It will help you to understand exactly what you´re doing wrong. Stop being one of those golfers who keeps changing his golf grip because he thinks that has to be the answer. It more than likely is not. Once you have been trained in the proper way to grip a golf club, don´t change it. Use the good training aids that are on the market to actually zero in on your real problems, not your imaginary ones. What you get the perfect golf grip keep it and watch your golf scores begin to go down. |
