How to Grip a Golf Club

After many years of playing golf, I realized that I may be gripping the club incorrectly! Yikes! Here are some things to check to see whether you are gripping the club properly.

Note that this is for right handed golfers.

  • Check to see if the club is more in the fingers (as opposed to the palm)
  • An easy way to check is to look at your glove and see where it's wearing out
  • Your left thumb should be point straight down the golf grip
  • The grip should be in the fingers of the right hand
  • Make sure your finger is not pointing straight down the club.  Instead, it should point at an angle
  • The "V" that is created by the thumb and index finger of the left hand should be pointing towards your right shoulder

Also check out this video that you can follow to see pictures of the grip.
