Introduction: Why Your Grip Choice Matters

Your golf grip is your only connection to the club, influencing:
✔ Accuracy (face control at impact)
✔ Power (wrist hinge efficiency)
✔ Consistency (shot dispersion)

"Show me a golfer’s grip, and I’ll tell you their ball flight." — Ben Hogan

Step 1: Determine Your Hand Size & Strength

Grip Size Guide

How to Measure:

1. Measure from wrist crease to tip of middle finger.
2. Match to chart above.

Why It Matters:

• Too small → Grip too tight, hooks
• Too big → Reduced feel, slices

Step 2: Choose Your Grip Style

1. Interlocking Grip (Tiger Woods Style)

✔ Best for: Small-to-medium hands, power players
✔ Pros: Secure connection, better wrist hinge
✔ Cons: Can strain fingers over time

2. Overlapping Grip (Vardon Grip)

✔ Best for: Medium-to-large hands, control players
✔ Pros: Smooth release, less tension
✔ Cons: Slippage in wet conditions

3. Baseball Grip (10-Finger Grip)

✔ Best for: Beginners, arthritis sufferers
✔ Pros: Easy to learn, comfortable
✔ Cons: Less control on full swings

Step 3: Match Grip to Your Swing Tendencies

Step 4: Test Grip Pressure

Goldilocks Rule:

• Too tight (7/10+ pressure): Stiff arms, loss of speed
• Too loose (2/10 pressure): Club twists at impact
• Just right (4-5/10): Balanced control and feel

Drill: Hold the club with only thumb and forefinger, then gradually add fingers until secure.

Step 5: Consider Specialty Grips

For Arthritis/Joint Pain:

• Jumbo grips (reduce finger strain)
• Winn Dri-Tac (soft, cushioned material)

For Wet Conditions:

• Corded grips (best traction)
• Hybrid grips (mix of feel and grip)

For Putting:

• Pistol grips (for arc strokes)
• Oversized grips (for straight-back, straight-through)

Final Checklist: How to Know You’ve Found the Right Grip

✅ Comfortable (no hand fatigue after 18 holes)
✅ Consistent ball flight (no wild hooks/slices)
✅ Good feel (can control trajectory)
✅ No grip pressure issues (not too tight/loose)
