hi my name is coach Jacob Marta and I have been teaching golf for over 25 years and I am here to help make the process of learning golf a whole lot simpler one of the things that a lot of new golfers struggle with is gripping the golf club it is very awkward and one of the problems is you can’t just grip it any way you want it has a very very specific way to hold the golf club and partly because there’s a very specific way that we’re supposed to be swinging the golf club so a lot of people will try to grip the golf club familiar with like a baseball bat or like a broom the problem with that is that this while this part of the golf club is round and symmetrical and it may make sense what we’re trying to swing is this part right here this is the club head and this is the club phas you can see it’s tilted and more importantly where you’re going to get all your control and distance to see that golf ball go fly up in the air is right here in what we call The Sweet Spot and you can see how it’s it’s located quite a bit far from the actual shaft one of the reasons why the grip is so specific is that we have to hit in a very specific location which is The Sweet Spot of the club and you can see that it’s at an angle and every golf club is a little bit different angle and every Golf Club has Al also a different length to it and even included in that length is something called Flex of the shaft the shaft actually bends and actually supposed to bend so a big part of your job of your grip is to be able to feel how much binge you create but also more importantly be able to control the direction part of the golf club which is the club face so if the face is Twisted this way the balls are going to go that way the face is pointed that way it’s going to go that way if it stays straight it’s going to go right to your Target and so that’s why your hands have such a specific role so if you’ve ever tried to learn the grip you’re like I just it just feels really awkward so we’re going to walk through the steps to help you kind of get a little bit more comfortable with it and and really unlock some of the reasons why these specifics are the way they are
