During golfing, the correct way of gripping the club can ensure that the club and the ball maintain positive contact, which is conducive to aiming at the target, and the way of gripping the club cannot be changed during the swing, otherwise the course of the ball will be deviated , the whole swing process will become unsmooth.
There are three main ways of gripping golf clubs:
1. Baseball grip (ten fingers):
The simplest way to hold the rod is more suitable for young people to train and learn.
The baseball style is also called the natural grip method, which is generally used by beginners. The principle is to hold the club with two hands side by side. If the right hand is the dominant hand, generally the right hand is on the top and the left hand is on the bottom. Put the little finger of the upper hand next to the index finger of the lower hand, so that the right arm can be better used. strength.
But the disadvantage of this method is that there is no crossing of the hands, it is difficult to maintain consistency during the vigorous hitting process, and it is easy to hit the ball with deviation.
2.
Overlapping Grip (Wharton):
It is the most common way to grip the bar, and it is suitable for people with large palms and long fingers.
This is the most popular grip method. The grip technique is: For right-handed players, on the basis of baseball grip, put the little finger of the right hand in the gap between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand, and the index finger of the left hand should be facing the lifeline of the right hand.
This can successfully avoid the problem of unstable hitting in the baseball grip. And it is easy to control the balance of the left and right hands
3. Interlocking grip:
The interlocking grip style is suitable for people with smaller hands, such as women and younger people.
This grip method is also called the cross grip method, which is to insert the little finger of the right hand between the index finger and middle finger of the left hand and lock each other. It is suitable for people who swing very fast. This grip is popular with LPGA golfers
This method allows the golfer to better feel the strength and position of the rod with the palm of the hand, so as to hit a beautiful ball.
Finally, regardless of the grip, the hands should be tight and there should be no gaps between the fingers. When gripping the bar, both hands are equally strong and relatively relaxed. Don't hold the club tightly, this will limit the freedom of swing. Some people compare the strength of the grip to holding a bird, and the strength that can neither force nor let it fly away is appropriate.
