Grip

The three most common grips: overlapping, interlocking, and baseball also know as 10-finger.

Overlapping: is also known as “Vardon” or “V” is formed by the index finger and thumbs on both hands point between the chin and your right shoulder. Turning your hands counter-clockwise on the shaft promotes a left to right flight of the ball (slice). Turning your hands clockwise promotes a right to left flight of the ball (hook).

Interlocking: Junior players with small hands find that sometimes the little finger of the right hand interlocks with the index finger of the left hand. This is what will work best for you.

Baseball or 10-finger: This allows you to keep all 10 fingers holding the club just like in baseball. If you don’t have strong hands this will work best for you.

Make sure you feel comfortable.

Remember to keep your fingers and arms relaxed.
