Helpful Hints For All New York City Golfers
CHOOSING THE RIGHT GRIP
The interlocking and the overlapping grips are the most popular grip methods being used today. Both grips are formed by connecting the little finger of the top hand (the left hand for right handed golfers) with the fore finger of the bottom hand. A good grip allows the hands to function as one unit during the swing. There is no qualitative difference between the interlocking and the overlapping grip methods. The best choice is often based on the size of your hands. The right grip looks good and feels comfortable. Most women and men with small hands will play their best golf using the interlocking grip. Golfers with average to large-sized hands will perform better with the overlapping grip.
Here's a simple way to determine which grip is for you. Stand in front of a mirror and compare both grip methods. A grip that works not only feels good, but looks well proportioned to the eye. The photos above show two golfers struggling with grips that don't fit the size of their hands. The photo on the left shows a golfer's hands that are too small to use an overlapping grip. He's squeezing the life out of the club trying to hang on. The photo on the right side, shows hands that are too big to use the interlocking grip. The club will feel loose and and can slip or twist in his hands during the swing. The grip is the most important part of the golf swing. The grip controls the clubface position at impact. The right grip form is a must. A good grip equals good golf! Still don't know which grip is right for you?
