The correct grip of a golf club is the palm-and-finger grip. To achieve this grip, first grab the club with your palms facing each other. Next, place your left hand against the shaft so that the shaft lies diagonally from the crook of the left finger to the palm. This is called a combination palm and finger grip. Close your left hand with only the first two fingers and the palm holding the club. Make sure you have a fold of flesh in between the club and the little finger. This palm and finger grip will eventually lead you to having the correct grip of a golf club.

As you address the ball and look down at your hands, you must see no more than two knuckles, those at the base of index finger and the big finger. Two knuckles! This is your second and last check point for the position of this hand.

It has been said that for a right handed player, the left hand is for control and the right hand is for power. So let's address the proper grip of the right hand. It must grip the club and fit against the left hand properly. It is the fingers rather than the hand that do the gripping, so you must place the shaft in its proper orientation to the fingers. It should lay in the groove formed where the second and third fingers meet the palm.

Both the odds and the tendency to let loose of the hand at the peak of the swing or elsewhere are reduced with this type of grip. This type of grip, since it is at the palm's outer edge, produces a more secure connection between arm and club, along with a greater reduction in the amount of give, transmitting greater force as you hit the ball.

You need to keep the club grip between the middle knuckles of the second and third fingers and the palm. If you hold it loosely in the fingers it is likely to wobble at the top of the back swing. It will also be less efficient in transferring energy to the ball when it is struck.

We have established the right hand grip as using the second and third fingers since the pointer, or index finger is a little bit away from the middle finger and is curved down lower around the club. The pinky finger, in either the overlapping or intertwining holds isn't in contact with the golf club at all. In the ten-finger grip, however, the little finger would seize the golf club precisely the same as the second and third fingers do.

In assuming our putting grip, we suggest putting the left hand on the club first, in the correct spot, then slipping the right hand under the shaft of the club, with the fingers out and the palm facing up. When the club slips into the spot where your fingers meet the palm, stop. Then shut your fist and move it just a little bit up the shaft until your third finger is facing the pointer of the left hand, and the pinky is over top of the left index finger of your hand.

You should notice your right palm comes up and is facing expressly to the left, and that the middle of the bottom of this hand fits comfortably over the big knuckle at the bottom of your left thumb. Your two thumbs should be on the shaft with your left positioned a bit to the right of the top and the right positioned to the left of the top, in the ten o'clock and two o'clock positions as they say.

The well-known V's, formed by the folds of flesh between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, should both point a shade to the right of the chin, to about the inside joint of the collar bone.

That is all that you have to do. Congratulation! now you know the correct grip of golf and with some more practice you will get it right every time.
