The most common fault I find in all standards of golfers is bad technique in the set up and grip. While making a balanced set up with a good grip doesn't guarantee a good golf swing it goes a long way to helping the swing improve. With this in mind I have dedicated the first eight weeks to the set up and grip. Good luck and hard practising.


Week 2
_{(dia 1) (dia 2) (dia 3) (dia 4)}
Continuing the principle of getting your hands to work as a unit some kind of linkage is important. (Dia 1) shows to many gaps in the grip which allows the club to move in the hands. (Dia 2.) The baseball grip will feel the most comfortable to you and achieve good results but in (Dia 3 & Dia 4.)The Vardon and Interlocking grip respectively, there is more chance of control of the golf club. Hot Tip: Take hands off club and re-grip with each shot when practicing to help eliminate any tension in the hands.

This lesson will be followed up next week with an explanation on how different grips affect the impact positions of the clubface.
