HOW TO HOLD A GOLF CLUB CORRECTLY - Golf Swing Basics

Golf Swing Basics - How to Hold the Golf Club Correctly
Danny Maude shows you how to hold the golf club correctly

Can a simple grip change help you to hit driver straight, stop your slice or strike you're irons?

The answer of course is yes!

I've seen slices disappear with one small tweak to a golf grip and just recently one of my students Beverley added 15 yards to her drive by moving the golf grip more into the fingers of her lead hand.

Now you and I both know that grip changes aren't going to work for every golfer, In fact there are some wonderful golfers that play with unorthodox grips but....and it is a big but, these players are rare.

The majority of the best players on the PGA tour or at your home club will usually have a very standard golf grip. Why? Because a great golf grip will help you:

- Square the club face and improve your impact position
- Help you use the wrists correctly in the swing
- Help you swing the club with much more freedom and therefore power

When things go off in my own game the very first thing I will go to is my grip. It's the simplest thing to change and although I know the change is going to feel a little uncomfortable, I also know it will be worth it.

So if you have time go and watch todays video. Yes the subject isn't as exciting as how to blast your ball 300 yards down the fairway but in my opinion a great grip can literally be a game changer.

ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!

I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.

Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble

I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

I'm 77 years old and took up golf again after quitting golf over 45 years ago out of frustration. I've taken some lessons and watched many online videos. I recently began watching your videos and they have quickly helped me. This video on the grip is simply awesome. Your style of communications, terms, examples and relaxed teaching style are superb, which in turns allow me to understand the many things I've been doing wrong. Its going to be a long journey for me, but your free instructions are helping me immensely. Tks/Steve.

Spot on Danny! Can"t wait to take it out to the golf course to see if it can help me!

[SuperHemiv]

Danny,

Thank you! I just had the best range session ever. I was considering just playing three wood or five wood and living with a smaller slice but now I’ve got the feel and even hit a hook now and then!

[crockerrange]

Thanks for the great tips in holding the grip properly Danny. This is the technique that would be long forgotten, but most important in golf.

[trentfroom]

Love your videos they make the most sense to me. Wanted to down load your practice plan but could not find it. The practice plans I find are a very valuable addition to your videos.

[reenatbhardwaj]

Thanks Danny ... Always a pleasure watching your videos ... Keep it simple and basic ... Cheera and merry Christmas to you

[guillermosg]

you are too good Danny, you really help to keep golf simple! thank you very much!!!

[leroyjenkins]

Best golf tip channel I’ve seen! Thanks for the help

[joannaespley]

One of the best grip videos I have seen - clarity! Cheers.

[rader]

Excellent, detailed grip instruction. Thank you! I just now forwarded this to a friend.

[robertlaw]

I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this video. I am taking up golf after a 40 year hiatus due to an automobile accident. I'm now 67 and have been having a terrible time hitting the ball correctly and getting a decent loft with a 7 iron. I watched this video and followed your grip recommendations which are not much different from what I was doing, but it was a great improvment. I also shifted my weight to my left side. With my swing, which is not very powerful, I made sure my hands were leading the head and I had a much better performance hitting at the range. I got good high hits which were going about 100 to 125 yards. Much, much better.

[philroselle]

Such an important lesson for me!! Thank you Danny!!

[hakirk]

Another great Saturday with Danny. One can never get too many reminders on the basics. Today will be my last round of the season and I’ll be watching my grip and placement of my hands. I’m not sure if it was me or you, but I didn’t see any download link this week.

[richs]

Great stuff Danny. Been gripping it all wrong !!! No wonder I haven’t improved ! Thanks 😀👍

[daveevans]

Danny, I just had to thank you for your video's. I only play 9 holes once a week and never go to the range. I watched your effortless swing video and how to hold the club. By changing my grip to your method I just shot a 45 for 9 holes. The week before I had shot on the same course a 59. That is so much of an improvement! Thanks, again Dave from New Jersey!

[rsrcjnk]

Hey Danny, I watched 2 of your videos, grip change and low point contact….went to the range today and your technique had an amazing impact on my grip, contact and distance. Thanks Tommy

[chrisgolfer]

Been waiting for you to discuss the grip Danny. I knew that you would really explain in detail and make it easy to follow... perfect! 😃🦘🦘

[bjcycle]

Danny, I don't often post, but have to THANK YOU for this video. I watch a lot of them and they are quite helpful, but this one in particular made a world of difference with my hits and golf game. I am crushing my drives, irons and woods like never before, and (more importantly) NO MORE SLICES!! 280 yard drives. Due largely to the "firm grip", as you say. Clearly, i was holding it wrong, (too open) and my set up was off. The firm grip on the left hand, square to the ball, and correct angle follow through was really what was needed in my game. Yesterday shot a 93 (missed a bunch of putts), but hitting more than half the greens in regulation was such a great success. - thank you so much

[jeffsmith]

I love your videos. You explain things in such a way that the working man who likes to play golf actually has a chance at doing well even if it’s just one shot per hole. Thanks for your simple instructions that are slow and repeated several times.

[gilbertbertrand]

Always great stuff Danny. It's nice that you have the simulator for you lessons. Better than being out in the winter weather in England. Good stuff!
