Improve Your Swing with the Grip Pressure Drill

If you've been struggling and not hitting consistent shots then it may just be your grip pressure. Here's a drill from Karen Palacios Jansen to get your grip pressure just right.

A lot of people overlook the importance of the grip pressure in the golf swing. The stronger you are in hands and wrists, the lighter you can hold club (light grip pressure creates clubhead speed and helps square clubface at impact).

Here is a little drill to help you find your ideal grip pressure and increase strength in your hands and wrists. You want to alternate taking practice swings with light and tight grip pressure. You will see that the tighter you hold the club, the less fast you can swing and the lighter you hold it, the faster you can swing.

Alternating back and forth with tight and light grip pressure will help you find what is right for you and help you develop some strength which is especially important for women.

This is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been wanting some ideas for golf exercises - and these are perfect! Thank you 😊

I just joined , maybe a week ago. LOVE IT. Love all the lessons and that you can search for. You can search specific topics and pull up several lessons.

I don’t know what I would do without your site - it has been so beneficial to improving my game!

The advantage over other lesson websites are the member groups: the lesson one for a quick lesson or two and the fun of feeling connected to female golfers around the world through the social group.

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.
