Why You Struggle With Your Golf Grip

By: Lee MacRae

Here is probably something you see every day on the golf course or in the training range. People trying to change their golf grip. People asking each other how they grip the club and then trying to imitate it. And they still hit the ball lousy. But that constant changing of your golf grip may actually be the root of your problems on the golf course.

Some people may find that hard to understand but you have to realize that there are only three basic golf grips in the golf universe. We have the Vardon grip, the 10 finger or baseball grip and the overlap grip. Any other golf grips are usually very difficult to master and best left to golf gurus or two the golf gods themselves.

The basic golf grip has just one basic function-that is to ensure that you grip the club in such a way that the clubface always strikes the ball square to the target. That allows the ball to be driven straight to where you want it to go. No more and no less. And yet, if your golf grip is perfect or proper then why do you still have problems?

So if your grip is right, why are you still driving the ball all over the golf course? Well, because something else is wrong. If your swing arc is inside to outside, where do you think the ball is going to go? You grip can be the best it can be but it won't compensate for a bad swing. Instead of always looking at your golf grip why don't you look somewhere else?

Here is a good tip to try. Get yourself a good training aid with a built in grip and you can start to really see where your problems really are. The molded grips will always keep your hands in the proper position and you will then know that your problems are somewhere else. Plus you get a chance to reinforce a proper grip. And if you get one of the training clubs that break when you swing improperly then there is no guesswork. You know exactly what you need to work on.

If you are constantly changing your grip you're only going to mess your game up even more. It would be a shame if you already had a perfect golf grip and ended up changing it! Think about it. Golf is difficult enough without you continually changing something that may already be working perfectly. Get yourself a good training aid like we suggest and watch your scores begin to drop.
