The Proper Grip

  • Importance of Grip: The grip is fundamental for shot consistency, control, and better ball striking​.
  • Grip Styles:
    • Traditional Grip: Most prevalent, involving the left hand's "V" pointing towards the right shoulder for right-handed golfers​.
    • Interlocking Grip: Offers superior hand unity, suitable for players with smaller hands​.
    • Overlapping (Vardon) Grip: Balances the secure feel of the traditional grip with the unity of the interlocking grip, popular among professionals​.
    • Baseball (Ten Finger) Grip: Less common, useful for golfers with hand-related issues​.
  • Personalization: Choosing the right grip style is personal and depends on comfort level, hand size, and swing characteristics​.
