Golf Grip Is Very Important Part Of Your Golf Swing Mechanics?

How imporatant is the golf grip related to your golf swing mechanics?

It’s very important to make sure that your grip is holding the golf club properly. Without the proper balance in your hands your golf club can do a number of bad horrific movements in your swing from beginning to the follow through. It can happen without you even realizing it, with the worst being the deadly cardinal sin in golf the  SHANK!

You can adjust your grip rotationto make your grip stronger by rotating your upper  right hand wrist to the left and if your golf swing mechanics is properly executed it will cut down on the left to right cut or slice.  If  you have too strong of  a grip causing you to pull or hook.  You can rotate your wrists on both hands to the right and if the rest of your golf swing is execueted properly it cuts down your pulls or hooks to more of a draw that we all strive for.  Rotate to much to the right and now your back to cutting and slicing.

The tension or pressure in your hands should be holding the golf club as light as holding a little birdie in your hands.  Don’t CHOKE IT! Hopefully, you don’t hold onto the steering wheel of your car with a death choke but, allow the wheel to have some freedom of movement so that it can work the way it’s designed.  It’s the samething for a golf club.

A correct golf grip is an essential golf mechanism leading to a proper golf swing.

With the right grip being a Vardon grip, interlocking grip or baseball grip these three are your main grips but there are other unorthodox grips as well.

It will allow you to properly square up the club at address.

It is the starting point for your entire golf swing and with the right improvement in your golf swing mechanics you will be able to hit the ball in the direction you want it to go and with the right velocity be able to get the distance you want with any golf club in your bag.

An improper grip will take the power out of your swing therefore losing a tremendous amount of distance, and causing all kinds of bad shots.

The grip I use is the Vardon grip or also called the overlapping grip.  It allows your hands to work in concert with one another.
