if you want to be better at golf make sure you understand what the perfect grip is for you and not necessarily what the perfect grip is in this video I will share with you what an orthodox grip is and obviously I’ll share with you whether you should or shouldn’t follow those guidelines to make you be a better golfer and a more consistent golfer and a happier golfer so let’s get stuck into the grip for you so the grip is it’s a bit of an awkward thing it’s something I very ready change in the first lesson with the student because it feels so awkward it’s the only thing that connects us obviously to the golf club and if you have a grip that is comfortable let’s say to change it is really awkward and it will take a number of shots before it starts feeling more comfortable so an orthodox grip will be one that would kind of follow these guys guidelines I’ve got some lines on this glove here it’s an old glove but I’ve drawn some guidelines the club should sit in the fingers of the lead hand the thumb shouldn’t be too long as it sits on the club here I’ll show it from a few different angles hopefully we can see that all clearly this V here should point between the chin and the right shoulder when it’s in the correct position and I should be able to see about two Knuckles on that lead hand I’ve marked it on the glove there just to show so when I’m taking my grip now I could go through all these checkpoints for the lead hand to be positioned correctly now the trail hand is going to go on similarly it’s going to go on the bottom of the fingers wrap on the club and I have what’s called an overlap grip which is where this finger sits in that little Gap there you can have an interlock grip and you can have a baseball back grip baseball back grip is good for people with small hands and people who need to perhaps close the club face more otherwise I’d always go for an interlock and overlap my personal preference is the overlap because I feel hands don’t oppose each other more I’ll just talk about that in a second but the overlap grip for example is used by Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods and probably about 10% of the elite players of the world but probably 90% of the elite players of the world would use what we would call an overlap grip now I’m talking there about what I call an orthodox grip and I’m going to go through more checkpoints so you you know where that is and ways of checking that’s in the correct position but we also want to talk about whether that is the correct grip for you for example if you had a weak grip and you hit the golf ball straight changing the grip would be very stupid and if you have a strong grip and hit the ball straight again very stupid it means that something else in your golf swing pattern is compensating for that grip so if we’re really happy with the ball flight you have even if your grip isn’t perfect I would not change it but for the people who want to check if the grip’s perfect and not hitting perfect shots consistently then understanding how to take the grip perfectly is a great thing to do and then you can work on a few bits and see what the ball flight does but again as we said in the introduction it will feel very awkward now Contin on with those kind of checkpoints the right hand that V would also Point pretty parallel to the v in this lead hand so between the chin and the right shoulder and if I pointed my finger down on my right hand like so it should be parallel to the shaft if I had that hand in a strong position like this rotated to the right and pointed the finger it points underneath the shaft and in the weak position which is rotated to the left of the handle and point to the finger it points to the right of the shaft further same with the lead hand the finger will Point down pretty parallel a stronger position more over here and a weaker position more over here the other thing to consider with the hand particularly the hand placement is how high or low or in the Palm or fingers it is in relation to the shaft now with the lead hand quite often a lot of golves will place it too much here and you’ll see there I’m missing that zone I’ve drawn there on that club I’ll just get as close to my face cuz that camera so if it’s very much in the palm of the hand like that what we’ll tend to see basically is an arm that will bend and collapse during the swing you’ll lose power you’ll struggle to be able to load these wrists correctly or these wrists correctly as we would call them some people call that hinge it’s actually called cocking or setting the wrists but if the grip isn’t in the fingers you’ll struggle to do that so drawing the lines on the club just like I’ve done there is a way of you practicing that but the other way of getting the correct process to do that correctly is kind of what I call the over the shoulder grip it in the fingers bring it down and then it sits into that zone and the thumb goes on you will see Adam Scott take his grip with a club kind of off to an angle like this that again helps you get it in the fingers and you will see various other tour Pros hold the club in the air again when the club is held in the air vertically it’s much easier to get what we call a shorter thumb so the thumb doesn’t travel as far down the club we talked earlier very briefly about opposing hands now we want the hands to feel like they’re pushing into each other for sure but when you grip is sometimes in an interlock position it’s very hard very easy for the hands to come apart from each other and be less opposing or pushing into each other than with an overlap grip that’s my personal opinion I tend to find with students with an overlap grip if they get one hand strong both hands go strong whereas with an interlock grip you can have one hand lead hand say weak and the right hand strong and both hands really aren’t that connected to the club that well with a trail hand we’re very much looking for it to feel like the lifeline pushes against the lead thumb here and it fits you’ll see here it fits that kind of pad and that pressure that’s very much where we want the grip to be now what we’re talking about out there in kind of the pressure and the shaft locations very much helps the club head stability through the golf ball holding in the fingers in both hands allows the wrists to mobilize to create speed and to stop the arms overworking if you like and over bending so that’s vital for me if it was slightly strong or slightly weak and the golf ball flies in the direction you wanted to again that’s not something I would rush to change as we’ve already talked about the last thing just to really focus on in here would be the trigger point here so we want a gap between the trigger finger in this Trail hand here so I can fit as you can see there my finger in there that again helps create the correct pinch or pressure point here between the finger and thumb which again then helps to control that club face and keep it neutral through that hitting area lots of golfers through the hitting area the hand comes away from the club the hands work harder than we want them to there is hand action I prefer the hand release to be more rotative than flipped some golfers might need to flip it to hit the ball straight and successfully and that’s how they’ll feel more powerful and again I have no huge issues in that as long as we’re getting the outcome we want golf coaching should very much be about what in the outcome we trying to change and then do the changes we’re trying to make makes sense to move that golf ball and outcome towards where we want to and it’s certainly not a game of perfect as Bob Rella said it is not it’s all about trying to find matches and mismatches that add up to give us outcomes that we desire one of the best ways of checking where your grip is and working on your grip is to use some tegs so if I put a teg there in my lead hand just between the thumb and the four finger there I want that teg to point almost vertically straight up but certainly if anything’s just slightly to the right of the handle just like that cuz the thumb should be just to the right of the handle that’s how I’d want it to be and again can I use the club like a kind of hammer hammering the club in the ground if I grip it in the palm and a bit weaker that becomes all a little bit more awkward and harder to do so that’s again a great way of checking have I got the lead hand in the correct position with a trail hand we can also put a te in the same location and again that address these T’s should be pretty close to parallel to each other obviously as we get the the the trail hand on it tends to push this TEEG over a little bit but both tegs would want to be pretty much up in the air for most slices of this world if they were slightly to the right of the handle and pointing to the right over here I certainly wouldn’t have an issue but if you’re a slicer and your grip is in a weak position or a palmy position that is definitely the first thing I would look to change it’s a simple change in terms of how much you’re trying to move and it’s a static change before you start swinging but it will feel awkward as we’ve already said because the hands are the only thing you connect yourself to the club if you have a strong grip one thing you can do is preset the club face open then take your grip then rotate the club back to where it should be that will make the the grip move and rotate around the handle but it will feel like you’re taking your normal incorrect grip and vice versa if you have a weak grip take your grip as normal but close the club face before you take the grip and then set that grip the club in the correct position that rotates the hands to the right but again as far as you’re concerned as you’re holding the club here you’re holding it completely in your normal State as you rotate the club it rotates the elbows and rotates the club head and rotates the hands to be back into a stronger position or a more neutral position but a stronger position relevant to what you originally had now if you’ve got a neutral grip what we’d be looking for then at the top of the Swing is a flat wrist that shows then an orthodox kind of pattern if you have a strong grip you should have a slightly cup wrist at the top and a wig grip a flatter or more bold wrist at the top again if you have a grip position and not a matching top the swing position that’s where you’re changing that club face relationship in the back swing and that again might be to help you or it might well be the thing that’s causing you to hit those shots offline so very much check out your pattern the grip you should be using and making sure for me the priorities is can we make sure it’s in the fingers whether it’s strong or weak so try and have a routine I quite like this one up in the air in the fingers right hand on right hand pushing the thumb get into your golf swing position and then swing so processes and routines will help you maintain a consistent grip whether that be perfect grip or the perfect grip for you it’s important that you get it right
