If a beginner golfer learns to hold the club properly from the start he will succeed in hitting the fewest shots. Grip Pressure should be light to allow proper club head speed, and firm to allow turning the hands on contact with the ball. There are similarities and differences between them. When learning golf use the grip that will make you feel comfortable and relax. Most importantly you must be able to repeat this grip setup consistently and only then will it help your game.
Golf is a game of consistency.
The foundation of consistency is a repeating swing that must start with a repeating grip . In golf there are certain things you must do quite precisely, where being half right accomplishes nothing. Ben Hogan, one of golf's greatest players died Friday July 25th 1997, at the age of 84.
