With your left hand, you want to see the crease between your thumb and index finger point somewhere between your right cheek right ear area. When you put your right hand on the same crease between your thumb and the index finger of your right hand should point in the same area.

The next step is up to your personal preference. You can either interlock your hands, overlap or have all ten fingers on the grip. Most modern golf professionals prefer that you either interlock or overlap.

Once your grip is set, make sure that when you open up your hands, you can see that the grip lies somewhere in the fingers on a slight angle. This will help you generate both creases pointed up towards your right ear for a neutral straight grip.

You now have a solid, neutral grip from which you can build a consistent, repeating golf swing.

Neutral Golf Grip

The following is an excerpt from “The Chain Reaction Golf Swing“, available at

www.GolfAid.com.

It is quite important to fight the urge to grip the club with too much pressure. The looser you keep your grip, the more flexibility and greater distance in the swing. In terms of how much grip pressure you should use, Sam Sneed advocated the same pressure as if you were “caressing a baby bird”.

One of the most common mistakes that golfers make is they tighten or loosen up one of their hands in their grip which can cause a shank or hook. The tightening of the lead hand can cause the ball to shank and tightening of trailing hand will cause the ball to hook.

Consistently work on your grip and you will be creating a solid path for your golf game for the rest of your life. A sound grip makes the game much easier and is the foundation of your swing.

Practice your grip often and you will soon become comfortable adjusting your pressure or even new positions to assist in hitting different shots. A little work in this area will go a long way towards an efficient swing.
