Learn Golf From the Ground Up.
Friday, May 28th, 2010Like building a building, a good golf swing needs a strong foundation. If you are a beginner, a good golf lesson is learning the proper grip. For a right handed golfer, the right hand is always placed below the left when gripping the club. Start by placing your hands together as if you were going to say a prayer. Next, separate them and place them on either side of the golf grip, right hand below left. Place your right hand pinky and the finger next to it over the two fingers next to yor left thumb. You should now be holding the club with both hands wrapped around the shaft. It should feel comfortable. Don’t squeeze too hard and take a smooth swing.
Where am I going wrong?
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010If you have taken a long, hard look at your swing plane and you think your tempo is pretty good, too, you might be wondering just where the problem lies. What am I doing wrong? You may want to think about some of the basics, including your grip. Golf instruction for grip problems exists out there, as pros can spot where you’re going wrong right away.
When you get golf instruction for grip issues, the pro might show you that your over hand is too high on top of the club causing you to slice the ball. Maybe you have a gator grip, where your over hand comes around the club too much. This can cause you to hook the ball and it might shift your club face at impact. If you are struggling but can’t figure out why, then look to this.
