The grip is one of the fundamentals that you have to get right if you want to be successful in the game of golf. There is a certain basic way to do it and to get the perfect neutral grip on the golf club requires some careful application. So here are a couple of simple steps to ensure that you have the correct grip.
Step 1: Start by letting your arms hang down freely. There should be no tension in your arms. Place your hands on either side of the grip with your palms facing one another.
Step 3: You should ensure that your left thumb is positioned on top of the grip slightly right of centre and that when you look down at your left hand only two knuckles should be visible.
Step 4: Now you have to add your right hand to the grip. It is very important to keep the palms-facing principle in mind when doing so. Bring your right hand towards the grip and fit it snugly on top of the left hand by wrapping your right fingers around the grip and interlocking your right forefinger and left pinkie. When this is done your right thumb and forefinger should form a soft trigger around the grip.
That is all there is to it. All you have to do now is hit the ball. Jakobus Nel is the owner and editor of a successful golf instructional website. To improve your golf and to find more lessons and techniques like the one above, please click here: http://www.thegolflesson.co.za
