You have reached the first checkpoint. The palms of each hand should be on opposite sides of the club and facing each other. The club shaft should lie in the palm of the left hand on a line starting at the point where the index finger connects to the palm. Just looking at the left hand you are looking at a combination of palm and finger grips. Only the first two fingers and the palm make contact with the shaft when the hand is closed. Make sure that it is the palm that makes contact below the little finger and not the little finger itself. This will tell you if you have the correct palm and finger grip.

Looking down at the ball with your hands on the club you should only see two knuckles, the base knuckles of the index finger and second finger. The others are covered or hidden behind the shaft. Now you are ready for the left 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.

Any grip higher in the fingers of the right hand, say along the inside of the middle knuckles of the second and third fingers, is untrustworthy. It is a loose grip to begin with, and the tendency is to loosen it further at the top of the swing. Finally, there is more give in it when the ball is hit.

What we are calling the right hand grip keeps the index finger of the right hand slightly apart from the other fingers and hooked around the club shaft. The little finger of the right hand should not even be touching the club. However, in the ten finger grip, the little finger would be wrapped around the club just as the second and third fingers are.

Golfers find it hard to believe, apparently, that a golf ball is driven straight by hitting it from the inside. The average player has the almost overpowering conviction that if he hits the ball from inside this line it will fly far out to the right. He cannot see how anything else can happen. He also knows that when he takes the club to the top of the well inside this line. His first instinct, when he starts the club down, is to manipulate the head out onto the line or near it, so he can bring it down along the line .

The moment anyone picks up a golf club for the first time to attempt to play golf, they have taken the first step to create or build a golf swing. There can be no doubt that the first foundation of a swing is the correct grip - get this right and the rest follows in sequence.A golf shot is measured by two standards. One is direction, the other is distance. Direction is governed partly by the position of the club face at impact and partly by the path the club head follows. The position of the club face is largely determined by the grip.

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.
