Are You Messing Up Your Golf Grip?
Are you always on the lookout for the perfect grip? Well, maybe you already have it! The reason I say that is because so many people are always trying to change their grip because they keep hooking or slicing or topping the ball on the course. And for some reason they usually blame their grip. But if you are constantly changing your grip you may be messing your game up even more. In fact, you may be losing the perfect grip you already have!
Why would we say that? Because there are only 3 basic grips and that is it! You have the Overlap grip, the 10 finger grip and the Vardon grip. Three...no more and no less. But you have problems driving the ball straight don't you? It hooks, it slices, you top it, you shank it. Some thing is wrong and your grip just doesn't seem right. So you go looking for a better grip. The problem is you're just making things worse. Just because you grip doesn't feel right doesn't mean it is wrong.
The grip has one fundamental function-it allows you to hold onto the club, bring it back over your head and drive it back down to the ball and have the club face impact the ball SQUARELY! It drives the ball right straight down to the target. That's it in a nutshell. If you are having problems, then take a look somewhere else.
Take your setup. A bad one will usually make your grip seem like it just doesn't feel right. So you end up changing the grip instead of the setup and you still have problems. And so you keep going in circles, changing your
grip and still not feeling right and still driving the ball in a book or a slice or topping the ball. Nothing changes except your grip. And in frustration you begin to change other things and all you've done is created more problems for your game.
Stop doing that! Go buy yourself a good swing training aid with a built in grip and you can really start to see where your problems are. The molded grip on the handle will always keep your hands in the proper position, help you to develop [or redeveloped] the proper grip and now you can concentrate on the rest of your swing. In fact, get yourself one of the swing training aids that has a built-in engineered hinge that breaks anywhere in the swing plane where you swing improperly. This kind of aid will help you to develop a perfect swing along with the perfect grip, the best of both worlds.
Stop being one of those golfers who keeps changing his grip because he thinks that has to be the answer. It more than likely is not. Once you have been trained in the proper way to grip a club, don't change it. Use the good training aids that are on the market to actually zero in on your real problems, not your imaginary ones. What you get the perfect grip keep it and watch your scores begin to go down.
