How To Grip A Golf Club — Get A Hold Of The Interlocking Grip

When you’re learning to play the game of golf, you have to be sure you know how to grip a club.

Golfers use various golf grips when they are playing the game. A lot of golfers like to use an interlocking grip because they feel it gives them better control of the club.

The overlapping grip and 10-fingered grip are among various other ways to hold the club. People who play golf generally use the grip with which they feel most comfortable.

If you are just starting to learn how to play golf, or if you’re trying to improve your golf game, you might want to consider the interlocking grip. Keep in mind that it might not feel comfortable when you are first using a new golf grip, so try it for a while to see how it works.

It’s a good idea to use the interlocking grip on the driving range at first. Test it out when you’re hitting a bucket or two of balls.

Try it out as if you’re on the tee. Take out your driver and give it a go. Check it out with your other woods and your irons. Test it out as if you are in the rough and in the fairway. This will give you a good feel for your swing as you are learning how to hold the club.

Many golfers use a conventional 10-finger grip when they’re using their putter, but if you feel comfortable using the interlocking grip when you’re on the green, test that out as well.

Many people need a straightforward way of learning how to grip a golf club. Here’s a step-by-step method intended for golfers who are right-handed. Left-handers should reverse the directions to fit their swing.

The first thing to do is take a hold of the club in the left hand only. Grab it naturally toward the end of its shaft away from the club head.

Now point the club straight up so the head of the club is in an upward direction. Make a fist around the club with the left hand. The knuckles in the middle of your fingers should be pointing straight away from you.

Move your thumb to a position where it is pointed directly up, in the same direction of the club's shaft. Now loosen your pointer finger from around the club and point it straight ahead of you.

Take the right hand and place it on the other side of the shaft with the pinky directly below the finger on your left hand that is pointing straight ahead. The pointer finger of the left hand should be between the pinky and ring finger of the right hand.

Close the fingers of the right hand around the club so the thumb comes across the thumb of the left hand. Now close the pointer finger of the left hand so it rests on the back of the right hand.

Now move the club down and assume a stance as if you’re addressing a golf ball. You’re ready to swing the club. You now know how to grip a golf club with an interlocking grip.

After you’ve tested it out with some range balls, try it out on the course. If you’ve hit several buckets of balls, you might want to come back for a round on the golf course another day.

If you want to learn how to get better at golf, you might want to test the interlocking grip for yourself.

Trying out a new grip is probably something you should do intentionally when you have some time to decide how you like it. You don't want to try it haphazardly on the course.

But working on your golf grip can ultimately make you a better golfer. It does not matter how many golf club reviews you read or how much technologically advanced equipment you have, if you have a poor swing.

Learning how to grip the golf club is an important step in improving your golf game. You are likely to see an increase in birdies and pars and a decrease in bogeys when you feel comfortable with your swing.
