Grip your club the right way for better performance
Knowing how to grip your club properly is a golfing must. Without a good grip, how can you swing the club properly?
The two types of golf grips and their variations
In golf, there are two types of grips and their variations: the digital grip (interlock, baseball or overlap), used for all techniques except putting, and the palm grip (Vardon, reverse, claw, etc.), used for putting. This article focuses exclusively on the digital grip.
But why so many variations? It’s a matter of personal preference, but also of adapting to the shape of your hands and your natural swing mechanics. Your grip therefore influences your swing. That’s why it’s worth paying a lot of attention to it if you’re new to golf. First, I will help you choose the grip that suits you best. Second, I’ll help you master the grip you choose.
Laterality in golf: which side will you play on
Since you will need either left- or right-handed equipment, you need to choose which side you will play golf on. To do this, I strongly urge you to read the article Left or Right? Also, the side you will be playing golf on determines whether your right hand or, conversely, your left hand will be the lower of the two on the handle.
Setting up properly before swinging and the art of a good golf grip
The Foundation before technique
Before trying to fix a movement, many golfers benefit from clarifying what belongs to the mind, the body, and the motion itself.
That is exactly the role of The Socle – The Golfer’s mental and physical Foundation.
A necessary first step, calmly established, to put things back in the right order before any technical work.
