Golf Tips Free: Improve Your Golf - Grip

There are three grips; Vardon Over-lapping, Interlocking and the Finger Grip.

The Vardon Over-Lapping Grip is:

The left hand is the same for any grip, that is with the heel of the left hand is on top of the grip on the shaft with firm pressure on the little finger. This will help keep left arm firm. Right hand is gripped lightly with club laying in fingers and thumb favoring the left side with a "V" between thumb and first finger pointing towards the right ear. Both hands must work as one having more pressure and control with the left hand. A little waggle of the club back and forth will help develop feel before the swing.

The Interlocking Grip:

Is the same as the Over-Lapping Grip except you interlock your little finger of your right hand with the first finger of your left hand. This grip is good for short fingers.

The Finger Grip:

Is done with all your fingers wrapped around the grip with no over-lap or interlock. This grip is not recommended unless your have troubles with the Vardon and Interlocking Grips.

Note: The grip and waggle can always be practiced at home and this will help you keep a feel for gripping the club correctly.
