Check Your Golf Grip

Taking a good golf grip gives you more power, clubface control, and consistency. Check that you're gripping the club correctly with this lesson from Sue Shapcott.

A good grip is vital for direction and also helps the wrist hinge correctly. The top hand is most important so let’s start with that. The grip should primarily be in the fingers of your top hand and the grip sits between the little finger of the top hand and the pad of your top hand.

When you look down at your top hand, you should see two knuckles. Once the top hand is on correctly, the lower hand is going to sit underneath it and you have the option to interlock the fingers. overlap the fingers or just sit the lower hand directly below the top hand. Whatever feels the most comfortable to you is good.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
