Understanding the Basics: Before diving into the nitty-gritty, let’s establish the basics. The grip consists of the hands – the lead hand (left hand for right-handed golfers) and the trail hand (right hand for right-handed golfers).

Positioning the Lead Hand: Begin by placing the club in the fingers of your lead hand, not the palm. The handle should run diagonally across the fingers, with the grip extending from the base of your pinkie to the middle joint of your index finger. This creates the foundation for control and precision.

Adding the Trail Hand: With the lead hand in position, bring in the trail hand. Overlap the fingers of the trail hand with the spaces between the fingers of the lead hand. Ensure that both hands work together in harmony, fostering unity and control throughout your swing.

Checking Knuckle Alignment: A quick check to ensure you’re on the right track – your lead hand’s knuckles should be visible, forming a “V” with the thumb and index finger. This helps in creating a square clubface at impact.

Balancing Grip Pressure: Find the sweet spot when it comes to grip pressure. Too tight, and you risk tension in your swing; too loose, and control becomes elusive. Aim for a firm yet relaxed grip – think of holding a small bird; tight enough not to let it escape, but gentle enough not to harm it.
