The grip is the most important part when starting to play golf.

This is because you must learn the correct grip to create a natural swing and good posture.

 

Types of Grips

 

Overlapping Grip

The overlapping grip refers to holding the little finger of the right hand on top of the index finger of the left hand.

This is the most commonly used grip and is also called the barden grip.

 

Interlocking Grip

The interlocking grip is shaped like the little finger of the right hand and the index finger of the left hand cross each other.

It is often used by weak female golfers and young children, and famous golfers include Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

 

Baseball Grip Baseball Grip

The baseball grip is a type of grip in which both hands are held together without crossing each other, as if holding a baseball bat.

Since both hands are separated, it is easy to use force, but the direction may not be accurate.

 

 

 

How to grip and grip according to hand shape

 

※ Strong Grip

Also called hook grip.

A strong grip gives the feeling that the back of your hand is looking towards the sky when you look down at your left hand in an address situation. If you are a golfer who suffers from slices or wants to increase distance, a strong grip would be good.

 

※ Neutal Grip

This is the basic type of grip in golf, and the border between the thumb and index finger of the left hand is positioned horizontally with the center of the grip. Good for controlling fade and draw shots.

 

※ Weak Grip

A weak grip is a grip in which the border between the thumb and index finger of the left hand points toward the left armpit.

It is easy to control, but it lacks the strength compared to a neutral or strong grip.

If hooks occur frequently with a neutral grip, a weak grip may be effective.
