HOW TO HOLD A GOLF CLUB PROPERLY - Complete Golf Grip Guide

How to hold the golf stick correctly? The golf club grip affects golf shots immensely, so it’s important to find the correct golf grip for you. Should you use a baseball, overlap or interlocking golf grip? Is my grip too strong or too weak?

Thousands of articles have been written and videos published on how to hold the golf club. The golf grip is a vital fundamental, in which all golfers should invest quality time, in an effort to find the ideal and most effective golf grip for them.

After all, the hands are the only point of contact we have with the club. The placement of the hands on the grip can and does affect clubhead speed, clubface rotation, mobility, stability, feel and overall control over the club.

Club golfers, in our opinion, often start behind the 8-ball, by employing a poor hold on the golf club, adversely affecting their ability to release the golf club and square up the clubface consistently.

Common errors include: gripping the golf club too much in the palms of the hands, placing the thumbs on top of the grip and holding the club too tightly.

Aussie Golf Pros demonstrate these and other pitfalls, which may affect your ability to deliver the golf clubhead to the ball with power, control and consistency. Glen Haynes shows you a simple process to hold the golf club effectively and he also demonstrates a unique golf drill to help you find the right grip for you.

Golf Coaches, Not Teachers

The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.

Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!

Skill Development vs Technical Changes

Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.

External Focus of Attention

Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.

I have found that club grip you have described is a must for a great ball compression and a must for a great swing

Excellent, very clear, easy to follow advice.
Club head on the ground before you grip was something I did NOT know was vital.
Thank you for an excellent video.

Cheers

An excellent primer Glen on how to properly grip a golf club! Many years ago, I used to wear a spot in my golf glove as you indicated in this video. I'm sure it was the result of not enough of the club in the fingers and a loose grip. Since then, I have reconstructed my grip to be more in the fingers and a light grip rather than a loose one. I find that this new grip has given me the ability to also have more flexible wrists. Well Done Glen! BTW, nice golf slacks! :-)

Thanks Glen. As a bloke that’s tall and with big hands I’ve stuffed around with grip sizes and club length albeit measured by club fitters. Still a work in progress at your old club at Stoecutters Ridge but getting there.

Hello Glen

Spider-Man grip
Feels weird but you good whip at the ball
Still need to be in control and knowing where the club face is pointing
