How can I have the perfect Golf grip? If you are a regular golf aficionado, you will know all about the three different kinds of grips that are popularly taught at golf clubs around the world. 1. Overlapping Grip 2. Interlocking Grip 3. Ten finger Grip The names are quite self-explanatory, and you would know the gripping styles from the names itself. For example, the overlapping grip is where your hands overlap, the interlocking grip is most commonly held with the little finger of the upper hand gripping the first finger of the lower one, and the ten finger grip is like holding a baseball bat. If you have a coach, he will repeatedly tell you that you should exert light finger pressure on the club to get the perfect golf grip, and not grasp it with all your might. Doing so will result in lesser power flowing into the club, and naturally your shot is affected. However, there are other reasons also due to which people don't get the perfect grip, and not all of them have to do with strategy. Agreed that the major reason why people don't manage to get the perfect grip is because they don't find the right kind of combination for different kind of clubs, but one of the key reasons is because the club keeps slipping and turning around in their hands while executing the shot. Now, if you look at that as a third person, you will notice that this has nothing to do with the strategy used in gripping the club, but it is whole different matter. Ranging from something as simple as sweaty palms, to a wrong position of the club head on your palm, it can be any one of a dozen reasons. But most of them have one simple solution - of using a golf glove. Experts have been recommending the use of golf gloves to get the perfect golf grip for years! But since we are all self-declared golfing masters, we don't heed good advice when we are given one! After many months of practice we realize that they were probably right, and then we move on to using a good quality golf glove. And no, it is not just because a golf glove keeps your club from slipping and turning in your hand - that is one of the major uses of course - but because modern golf gloves see that you get the perfect grip by marking a spot on the glove where the head of the club should be placed. This sees that maximum power flows into the club, and also sees that there is a lot of control over the way the shot is executed. Having a perfect golf grip could be as simple as wearing a golf glove that has been made scientifically. Most of the coaches at good golf clubs would suggest new players to get started with golf gloves precisely for that reason. Once the perfect golf grip is achieved, it is just a matter of practicing it so you don't forget. The next time you are troubled by your grip, try a good quality golfing glove. It might make all the difference. |
