THE PROPER GRIPTABLE OF CONTENTS
1. The proper grip begins by placing the club in the fingers of the left hand. In order to be
in the fingers, the club must run straight across the base of the palm where the fingers are
attached.
2. The thumb is placed slightly on the right side of the shaft with the gap between the thumb
and index finger closed. When the address position is taken and the club is soled, you
should be able to see the first two knuckles of the left hand.
3. In the right hand, the club should also be held in the fingers. There should be a gap
between the index finger, commonly referred to as the "trigger finger", and the rest of the
fingers of the right hand.
4. The thumb should be slightly on the left side of the shaft with the gap between the index
finger and the thumb closed.
5. Palms are facing each other and turned slightly to the right so that the Vs formed between
the thumb and index fingers of both hands are pointed at a point between your right shoulder
and your spine.
6. There are three types of grips: overlap, interlock, and the ten finger. The most commonly
used grip is the Vardon overlap grip in which the little finger of the right hand overlaps the
index finger of the left hand. A small gap is formed between the index finger and the middle
finger of the right hand. Most of the grip pressure comes from the last three fingers of the
left hand and the middle two fingers of the right hand. There is also a pressure point where
the right index finger contacts the club.
