Head of Instruction at GOLFTEC
Summary
This lesson discusses the fundamentals of gripping a golf club. It explains that there isn't a single correct grip but offers a reliable, simple, highly effective grip technique. The instructor uses a Sharpie to mark key points on the hands to help visualize proper hand positioning. The video emphasizes the importance of proper hand and forearm rotation and how different grips can impact ball flight and shot control.
Key Takeaways:
Grip Fundamentals:
- No single "perfect" grip; multiple effective variations exist.
- The grip shown is a basic, standard method that works well.
Key Positions:
- Mark key points on your hands (heel pad, wrist dimple, first joint of the index finger) to ensure proper positioning.
- Rotate forearms and elbows correctly to achieve the desired grip.
Impact on Shots:
- Proper grip and hand positioning affect ball flight, spin, and shot height.
- Incorrect grips can lead to common issues like slices or low, straight shots.
Practice and Adjustment:
- Regular practice with marked hands helps internalize the correct grip.
- Use tools like the Golf Tech app to analyze and improve your grip.
