The BEST Golf Grip For Seniors | Sam Snead SWING SECRETS For Senior Golf
In this golf lesson, Sam Snead, Tom Watson & Seve Ballesteros, give us the best way to grip a golf club. It’s especially good for Senior Golfers to grip the club in this manner because this classic golf grip focuses on using the least amount of hand strength to feel the weight of the clubhead at all times. If you can hold a baby chicken in your hand without crushing it, then you have enough grip strength to grip the club properly. If you’ve never held a baby chicken like myself, Tom Watson gives us the best drill on YouTube to accomplish this feeling.

palm and finger grip starting from the first joint of the four finger coming over to the base of the little finger with a plug in sticking out and the heel on top the thumb placed on the club is about 1:00 the V pointing over the right shoulder now reaching down just like you were shaking hands with the club it’s entirely a finger grip uh it’s way down in your fingers now when you overlap the four finger with a little finger now your also fits right into the thumb into the hollow of your hand here the left thumb goes down the top right of the shaft the center right of the shaft the right hand fits right over the top of the thumb right here the pad of the thumb fits right over the thumb like this and it goes into the two fingers right here of the right hand look at the right thumb the right thumb doesn’t go down the top or over here it goes over to the left side so basically your left thumb is on the right side of the shaft and your right thumb is on the left side of the shaft now the last thing I do with the grip I want to teach people is to split the forefinger from the middle finger a little bit on the right hand that allows you to cradle the golf club a little bit easier without gripping on too tightly now gripping the club I grip this club as light as if I had a baby chicken in my hand that I wouldn’t squeeze it too tightly the way I like to teach grip pressure is this simply take the club put the club straight up in the air where it’s the it’s lightest and then let the club drop through your hands like this then put the club back in your hands proper grip then reduce your grip pressure until just before it drops and then take the club and just take it to horizontal like this you will feel an increase of grip pressure in your last three fingers of your left hand and the middle two fingers of the right hand just by doing that that’s as much G pressure as you need holding on to the golf club but now if you were to grip the club too tight at your dress as a rule you will open up your hands at the top of the back swing and then you decrease in your downward swing uh which causes a whole lot of trouble you have to hold the clap with enough pressure to control it but don’t strangle the clap because the result of that is that you will create too much tension on the forearms and what happen you will lose the clap speed
