Are You Messing Up Your Golf Grip?

By: Lee MacRae

Do you ever try changing your golf grip to improve your score? Do you find yourself trying to do it every week, trying to find just the right golf grip that let you hit the ball straight? Do you hunt through bookstores and the library for more ideas on how to grip your golf clubs? If you say that yes to all that then you may have solved your problem right there.

Why would we say that? Because there are only 3 basic golf grips and that is it! You have the Overlap grip, the 10 finger grip and the Vardon grip. Three grips, no more and no less. But you have problems driving the ball straight don't you?. It hooks, it slices, you top it, you shank it. Something is wrong and your grip just doesn't seem right. So you go looking for a better grip. The problem is you're just making things worse. Just because you grip doesn't feel right doesn't mean it is wrong.

The basic golf grip has just one basic function-that is to ensure that you grip the club in such a way that the clubface always strikes the ball square to the target. That allows the ball to be driven straight to where you want it to go. No more and no less. And yet, if your golf grip is perfect or proper then why do you still have problems?

So if your grip is right, why are you still driving the ball all over the golf course? Well, because something else is wrong. If your swing arc is inside to outside, where do you think the ball is going to go? You grip can be the best it can be but it won't compensate for a bad swing. Instead of always looking at your golf grip why don't you look somewhere else?

Here is a good tip for you. Get yourself a good golf swing training aid that has a molded the golf grip on it. There are a number of them on the market that you can find very usually. You can also find molded golf grips that will slip right over your own golf club and ensure that you're sending your hands properly. That way you can eliminate your grip as the problem. Better yet, get yourself one of the golf clubs that break at a hinge when you swing them properly. These can also come with a built-in training grip that ensures your hands are in the proper position but will also break anywhere you have a flaw in your swing. This allows you to concentrate on your real problems and to correct.

If you are constantly changing your grip you're only going to mess your game up even more. It would be a shame if you already had a perfect golf grip and ended up changing it! Think about it. Golf is difficult enough without you continually changing something that may already be working perfectly. Get yourself a good training aid like we suggest and watch your scores begin to drop.
