Grip for Golf...

In golf, gripping a golf club is very important. I mean "very very important". Of course, one might think that we grip the golf club, the main idea is not to let the golf club slip. That is partially wrong, cause with that intention, you might tend to grip it tighter or harder than you should. With that, some might even think that, with loosen grip I can flick the ball even further. Also partially wrong because you can't get in control of your golf club (besides you might slip the golf club). {As for your info, the topic I'm discussing is different from the concept of power and light grip}

Therefore, it is best and recommended that a golfer should use the ideal grip. You should be comfortable with A (just one and only) grip that you think is most comfortable and flexible for you. There is Interlocking grip, Baseball grip and Overlapping/Vardon Grip. Each and every grip are meant for power boosting, ability to get in control of your club head and ideal for a good swing. As I say, choosing a comfortable grip is very important because you don't want to get yourself in trouble just for GRIPPING. You haven't even start swinging there is a problem buggering you. That's one thing that golfers should always get rid of.

The ideal grip should be;

1. Comfortable - where you don't feel staignant, or pain (physically) or doubt (mentally) that this grip is right or wrong
2. Flexibility - where you can move the club as how you want it to be (get in control of the club)

After choosing your IDEAL grip, we should take the golfing grip into another level. The right strength to use the grip. Through my experiences, which include of loose to very tight grip to the ideal one, WE must analyse thoroughly the right power to hold the golf club (*A MUST*). The IDEAL grip for you should be just FIRM enough to have you get in control of the club and comfortable of holding the club.

One should not overpower the golf club because this will cause you TOPPING a golf shot, or slicing or even hooking it (truly overpower). This is because when you grip it too tightly(which also cause one to lose your power, where some of your power are used just by GRIPPING), you make it hard for your hand to roll through the sequence of your contact. Overpowering a golf club causes inability for a golf club to square upon contact consistently. Overpowering are usually faced by beginners because they do not know how to grip it right and consistent, so instead they just grip it tight.

On the other hand, loose grip will cause golf club to overpower your hand. This consequently will cause your ball tend to DOUGH or hitting it at the back of your golf balls. Light grip can sometimes help you hit a further shot as they are more flexible (ability to flick) and hit a golf shots more powerfully. This is because we can transfer more power to a golf ball as there is no loss of power in our grip. But this is seriously inconsistent(where you don't know how light is light) and when problem occurs, you wouldn't know whether is light grip a factor of the problem.

So why not, while fixing your other mechanism problem in your swing, let grip NOT BE ONE OF THE FACTOR. You don't grip it lightly or too hard..you grip it FIRMLY. Though some do not know how to find your FIRM grip, you need to get yourself to the range and try it out. Try hitting a couple of shots with the grip so hard you want to squeeze each and every of your vain out. And later try with the lightest grip, so light like a feather. And only grip normally and hit a couple of shots to determine the right grip for yourself. You have to answer yourself the question in gripping. I only can help by letting you know how do strength of a grip affect your game.

ROLL THROUGH means on the upper swing, left hand shut and right hand have the palm open facing front. On the downswing upon contacting the golf balls, right hand is shut while the left hand has the palm facing front.
