Gripes About Grips With Golf

It is much more common for golfers to hold the club too loosely than too tightly, except for people who are just starting to learn. So what we are really focusing on is keeping you from having a loose grip. You may think we are overdoing it, but that is just because you are used to doing it incorrectly with your loose grip.
Your golf club grip should avoid being so tight that the muscles of the upper arms and shoulders are tied up with tension .But we do want those hands tight on the club. What, you will ask, about the wrists? If they are tight, won't the swing be stiff and wooden? And how will I get my wrist break?
Don't think about your wrists. Learners think taking a light grip is the right thing to do. But the light grip leads to many faults. When you take a tight putting grip, you are preventing faulty elements from creeping in. It won't feel natural at first, but soon you will realize that the whole swing is smoother and balls are going where you want them to go with more consistency.
By a tight golf club grip we also mean with practically all the fingers that are on the club. These would be the last three, principally, of the left hand and the first three of the right. Many players have a tendency to place the forefinger of the right hand, the one that hooks around the shaft just below the right thumb, very lightly on the club. Don't do it.
Hook this finger around the shaft firmly, so that the tip of it makes a definite contact with the tip of the thumb. If you don't, the club will be liable to drop, at the top of the swing, into the big V between the forefinger and thumb. This means a loss of control at the top, which must be regained as the club comes down.
Now you are probably wondering how we get the ball to stand up. Although you have to take certain steps, it is not a mysterious or hard process.
First of all, you need a stance which lets you swing your club freely and take it to the ball with ease, using an inside-out curve. To achieve that, your weight must be evenly distributed on both feet. You also want to bend your knees a bit (better more than less). Your body should be somewhat curved from the waist up, with the shoulders rounded.
Remember: keep the head down somewhat, just slightly. Note that your left sholder will be higher than the right owing to the fact that the right hand is down farther than the left hand.
So now you know how much tension to apply with your golf club grip. You know how tight to hold the club, and how to stand. Just keep practicing!
