When you release the wrists through the middle of your swing, you want more movement, which you can't get with the club grip running across your palm. There are basically three different grips to complete with that second hand over the back. With beginners, we suggest either an overlap grip or the baseball grip. The interlock grip is for more advanced players because you only have nine fingers on the club, which makes it harder to control. In any of these grips, you want the heel pad on your right hand to cover the thumb of your left hand.
Grip pressure is also important.
You don't want to white-knuckle it, and yet you don't want it loose enough that the club flies out of your hands. Often the club grip is going right across the palm. I've always been taught that the key to a good golf grip is to feel it in your fingers. If you don't have a good grip, you've had it before you even get started out on the course. All rights reserved.
