THE STABLE GOLF GRIP
To the right of both hands, the grip can be called “strong”. Both ‘Vs point to the right shoulder. With almost all of your left-hand knuckles visible, both hands will turn towards the right. The grip may have two possible effects on the ball. Neither of these is good. You can return the clubface open to the ball. This could cause a slice, or shot with less distance. The hands will not be able to use their power to square the clubface. This is also known as “blocked hand action”.
Some players may also release their arms into the shot, closing the clubface very severely and hooking the ball.
THE WEAK GRIP IN GOLF
Both hands should be turned to the right if the grip becomes weak. It can cause a fade, or slice depending on which club is used and where the hands are placed.
THE KNOL
The grip strength is what is most noticeable. This puts too much pressure on the thumbs of the left and causes the muscles in front of the forearm to contract, rendering them useless. You will get a less strong, slice shot due to it. If you take a look in the mirror, notice that your thumb’s end is almost parallel to the forefinger.
You can see the reflection of your mirror when you stand with your arms extended at your side.
Place a club inside your right hand and move your left hand. You will notice that the club rests in the curled palm of your fingers and underneath your heels.
While you might need someone to assist at the beginning, this will quickly become a simple process all on its own.
Sitting in a chair is also an option. Hold the club in your right hand where the rubber grip ends so that the shaft is about 60° from the horizontal. Check that your left hand is aligned so you can clearly see how many knuckles are visible.
The shaft will be held this way and will then lie in your left hand. Simply slide your right hand until the shaft is in place. The shaft will be thinner than usual. You’ll have the thinnest part in your hands. It doesn’t matter what season it is, you don’t have to be cold. You can still improve your golf skills in the warmth of your lounge.
