To lower your golf scores it is important that you begin with the proper golf grip fundamentals. The grip is your only connection to your golf club and is considered a basic fundamental of golf. Inconsistent shots are often traced back to the golfer.s bad grip. The grip is the start to a good golf swing and to the start of you starting to lower your golf scores.

 

When you are ready, allow your arms to hang naturally. Now take your regular golf stance without a golf club. Since your do not have a club to grip, stand with your palms flat together. Notice how the palms of your hands are parallel. Now that you are in you proper set up with your palms being parallel to each another, this results in a good grip fundamental. If your hands are not parallel to each other, your hands with fight against each other trying to get back to impact. With your palms of your hands being parallel to each other, your hands will now work together as one unit. 

 

Now, take your golf grip on your golf club. Straighten out your fingers while still holding the club in your hand and open your palms just wide enough to reveal if your palms are parallel. If your palms are parallel, then you have this grip fundamental conquered. If your palms are not parallel to each other, you need to work your hands around on your club until your palms are parallel. Now retake your golf grip. You need to realize that this new feeling should be your new grip.

 

The palm of your right hand as well as backside of your left hand will be facing your target if you choose to assume a neutral grip. Most players make the mistake of allowing their golf grip to become weak. This means the back of the left hand is pointing more at the target than at the sky. High-handicappers, ladies and juniors should be able to set-up and see three knuckles on their left hand. This would mean the back of the left hand is pointed a little more towards the sky. A higher handicap player typically needs to use a stronger grip to release the golf club. For a stronger grip, the back of your left hand would be tilted towards the sky with the palms still parallel.

 

Using the information in this article, you can improve your grip the very next time you have a golf practice session. See you on the practice tee.
