The second is called the interlock grip. This is basically the same as the overlap, except that the index finger on the left hand is in-between the pinky and ring fingers on the right hand. The third is the 10-finger, or baseball grip. Mostly beginners use this grip on the club. One of the most important aspects of the grip is the strength in holding on to the club.
Most players try to strangle the club, which results in more harm then good.
If the path of the club is straight, the club will turn over, resulting in a hook. Again, if the path of the club is straight, this makes the shot stay straight or have a slight fade. John Boucher has been the head pro at Willimantic CC since 1976. All rights reserved.
