A better golf grip
There are some things you can do to make your grip better. Some tips to improve your golf grip are:
1.) Make sure the
grip on your
golf club is right for you. Most people understand the role clubs play in a great round of golf. If you are not playing with your own clubs, you may find yourself playing a poor game of golf.
2.) People think that a new set of golf clubs are a wonderful gift without stopping to consider that the clubs may not fit the player. Just as a single pair of gloves would not fit every golfer, golf grips are made for the individual. Take time to find what fits you best and do not settle for something else.
3.) The training aid that helped you stop that terrible slice, will not help you perfect your golf grip - but having the right golf clubs will. Also if you were to ask any one hundred golfers – both amateurs and professionals alike - to demonstrate the perfect grip, you would get a lot of variations.
4.) Another important point is grip comfort . No matter which golf grip you prefer, you have to be comfortable with it. If you are spending all your time chanting a mantra – "right hand like so, left thumb goes here, push the left hand to here" – you cant think about anything else. While most golfers do have to spend some time practicing the grip, it should not become the most time-consuming point of learning (or playing) the game.
5.) If you are not happy, try something new. If your grip is too uncomfortable or the grip on your clubs too large, fix it. Unless you are working with a professional coach who refuses to let you make any adjustments, take a look at your methods and your golf equipment.
6.) If you do have someone pointing out a better method (and if your game is indicating that you need that help), take time to give it a good try. Any change in your grip is probably going to result in at least some minor discomfort. Your swing is already accustomed to working in one particular movement and a change in your grip is going to mean that all those parts have to make some adjustments. That change is not going to happen naturally in just a few minutes (or hours) or practice. Give the new grip a chance to become more natural and see if it helps. Its never too late to revert, but you should at least give it a proper go.
