Golf Grip Tips – There Are So Many Around – Ever Wondered Why? This Is Important
Article by Jim P Martin
Golf grip tips are in abundance. Everywhere you look, in all forms of media – golf books & magazines, television golf shows, DVD’s & videos, let alone the internet – it seems the world and his wife wants to teach us the correct golf grip, why? Well it is not just information overload. If you’re a seasoned golfer you will probably already realise the importance of the golf grip in your swing set-up. If you are relatively new to the game, you soon will.
Your hands, when you pick up a club, are the only part of you that touches that club – this is the golf grip.
The grip is the element of your swing which enables you to steer the ball in the direction you want it to go (Note in the direction you want it to go – which is not necessarily straight). Watch the pro’s on television, they rarely hit the ball straight. You will often hear the commentator saying “He likes to move the ball left to right” or “this guy has a natural draw”.
Why do these guys move the ball so much? They need options to be able to do things like hold the ball up in a cross-wind, bend it around a tree, maybe create a better angle into the green. They achieve this by changing several elements of their swing. They will alter their stance, open or close the club face and, more relevant to us, adjust their golf grip. Isn’t it ironic, we spend all our golfing lives trying to groove a swing to enable us to hit the ball straight – then these guys come along and get paid gazillions of dollars for NOT hitting straight shots. No golf grip tips needed for them!
Just dwell on that last paragraph and think about this;
If the grip can be adjusted to induce a draw – can I adjust my grip to help cure a slice? If the grip can be adjusted to induce a fade – can I adjust my grip to help cure a hook?
You`ll be pleased to know that the answer to both of these questions is yes! I’ll give you the secret later.
“Wait a minute!!” I hear you cry. “I’ve just read an article about golf grip tips, and I haven’t seen one tip”. Well, panic ye not.
