A fundamentally sound grip helps you create power and feel at the same time. Wrist action is a power source and gripping the golf clubs too much in the palm of your hand reduces wrist action.
The fingers are the most sensitive parts of our hands. Placing the clubs more in the fingers rather than in the palm increases the amount of wrist hinge, which results in longer tee shots and more feel.
The grip is the foundation of your golf swing and developing the right grip is critical to your success in hitting the ball farther and straighter. There are many different grips out there that you can use. Here are few common golf clubs grip types:
- The Interlocking Grip – With this grip the index finger of the left hand and the little finger of the right hand combine and interlock. It is commonly used by those that have thick hands, or shorter hands. This grip is usually the best option for most people and will allow you to create proper leverage for maximum power.
- The Overlapping Grip – This grip involves having the little finger of the right hand sit on top of the index finger of the left hand. This grip is used by most male golfers because it does require strong wrists and forearms.
- The Baseball Grip – With this grip the index finger of the left hand and the little finger of the right hand do not overlap but do make contact with each other. This is usually the default grip for most beginners or golfers with weaker arm and wrist strength. You probably do not want to keep using this grip as the interlocking or overlapping will work better in most cases.
With the tips above and practise, I'm sure you will grip your golf clubs tight and swing with maximum power.
