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.
Do You Have Trouble With Yardage Markers?

When playing do you have troubles gauging how far a certain obstacle is, or how far away from the green you need to get to on your next shot? Are you that type of person with an uncanny ability to estimate how far you need to hit your next shot? For most people it’s a guessing game but, it so much important when it comes to scoring. It can make a difference between shooting a great score or being left to frustration and wanting to break every club in your bag.
When I was caddying professionally my job 30 years ago was to make sure I walked the golf course before my partner even showed up. You knew the distances of every club your pro swung at. It was your job to walk the fairways marking down every rock, sand traps, trees, water or any other permanent obstacle that you could gauge from the tees or any other shots from the fairways to the greens.
You mark all of this down in a little black book. Then everyday early in the morning before each round you graph out each hole’s pin placements. Measure out by using the old traditional way of one foot in front of the other how far from the front, sides, and back of the greens. You also observe where the pin placement is, by writing down if it’s on a hill, swale or what kind of breaks to the hole when putting. Where is the flat part of the green or safest place to hit the ball to.
There was a combination of both guess work and knowing your player’s skill level. It can make all the difference in where he finishes in the tournament and how much money he earns. Which has a direct bearing on how much money you make, since most of the time you earned by commissions only.
