What coaches agree on

  • Start by letting your arms hang relaxed at your sides and letting the club settle naturally into your fingers, and use that natural position as the starting point for your grip.
  • A neutral lead-hand position shows about two knuckles at address, with the V between your thumb and forefinger pointing toward your trail shoulder.
Show more
  • Join your hands with an overlap, interlock, or ten-finger grip, since all three are valid, as long as both hands stay close together and work the club as a single unit.

Common mistakes

  • The most common fault is letting the grip ride up into the palm instead of resting across the base of the fingers, which restricts wrist hinge and costs control and speed.
  • A weak grip, with few or no knuckles visible on the lead hand, is one of the most common faults and tends to leave the clubface open at impact, producing a slice.
  • Pointing the thumbs straight down the top of the shaft instead of setting them slightly to the side is a common fault that limits wrist hinge and can also open the face into a slice.

Reviewer Good stuff, just wish he'd trim the pro-swing tangent and get to the point faster.

Moderator Whole video is a straight comparison of strong vs weak grip -- defines both, shows how to spot them, and ties them to real swing styles. Dead center of the grip topic.

Reviewer Solid basics for the lead hand, just wish it went the full distance to the trail hand too.

How To Create the PERFECT Golf Grip!

Reviewer The knuckle-count and thumb-position cues are exactly the kind of concrete checks a golfer needs.

Moderator Real coach explaining V direction, the two-knuckle check, thumb position and lifeline placement in real depth early on -- genuinely about the grip. But the session then drifts into backswing, transition, sequencing and ground-force talk with the student, so grip isn't the whole video.
