This golf swing tip may be a part of the fundamental's you haven't considered before, because when the grip is discussed often excessive attention is paid to how many knuckles should be visible or where the “Vs” should point on your grip but too little focus is advised on the fingers that are actually resting on the shaft.

Let's talk a little bit about your basic golf club grip descriptions. There are essentially three common types: Overlapping, Interlocking, and the Baseball Grip.

And of course, each are simply variations of one another other. Whichever you choose will depend on the size of your hands, finger thickness, and hand strength.

Overlapping GripMade popular by an old-time famous golf instructor, Harry Vardon, the overlapping grip is when you grip the club with your left hand, which will be the top. The club tip will rest near the area where the edge of your palm meets with the base of your pinky finger. The shaft will cross close to where your ring and middle fingers connect, and then across the middle of your index finger.

Now curl the fingers from your left hand around the club. Your right pinky finger should be snugly placed into the groove between the index finger and the middle finger of your left hand. The shaft should be resting naturally inside the channel that you created by curling the fingers from your right hand around the grip.

Interlocking Grip

The interlocking grip is another version of the overlapping grip. Basically, you utilize the same steps as you would for the overlapping grip, except that with this grip you will rest the right pinky in the groove between your left index finger and middle finger.

Next you interlock the right pinky in the left index finger. The interlocking grip seems to suit people who have smaller hands and short fingers. Young players and many women tend to find this grip perfect when starting out.

Baseball Grip

The baseball group is less conventional than the overlapping or interlocking grip. Another name for it is the “10 fingered grip” because all 10 fingers should be holding the club. Simply grab the club with the left hand close to the body, then insert the right-hand to the grip. The hands will be touching and all eight knuckles will be lined up on the under portion of the shaft.

The baseball grip is excellent for those men and women who do not have strong hands. It is a little easier to hold the club with and makes it less troublesome to move your wrists around when making a shot.

Note: The most important hand on the club is your right hand, because this is the side of the body that lifts the club in the backswing.
