Did you know that gripping the golf club like this can cause so many problems in the golf swing? In this golf tip, you’re going to learn why this is such a big problem. Most golfers grip the golf club using the “strong” grip, where the hand is turned over more. Unfortunately the strong grip can cause a ton of golf swing problems for the average golfer.
The main problem with gripping the golf club like this is that it causes your golf swing to have a very closed clubface – meaning that you’re going to hit a lot of golf shots that hook or pull. And, if you manage to keep the clubface square, you have to flip your hands at impact, which causes you to hit behind the golf ball or hit thin shots. In either case you’re losing power and consistency from making this big grip mistake.
I recommend getting away from a strong grip and instead gripping the golf club in a neutral fashion. A neutral grip allows for a much squarer clubface which means that you will hit your target more often.

I am Tom Saguto, PGA Member and founder of SagutoGolf. Thank you for visiting my instructional page where you can find how to get on the fast track to improving your golfing abilities. Whether you are a seasoned golfing veteran looking for a quick swing tune-up after an on-course emergency, or a beginner just looking to get the most out of your golfing experience, I am here to help you achieve your golfing goals.
My mission as your swing doctor is simple, to help you maximize your enjoyment in game of golf. Because, let’s face it, golf is a hard game.
My philosophy is wholly based on the student having a fun, meaningful experience in a frustrating and complicated game where potential lifelong golfers either quit because it is too difficult or that they experience some form of swing-related pain or discomfort. I mitigate these problems by focusing entirely on the student’s needs and goals while teaching a golf swing method that ultimately takes stress off of the common pain areas of the swing.
