How to Grip a Golf Club

Video Transcript

"Being able to grip the golf club properly is probably one of the most important things when setting up to the golf ball. My name is Jared Garbett, and I'm with Echo Farms Golf and Country Club, and today I'm going to teach you how to properly grip a golf club. When gripping a golf club, a right-hander will place his right hand at the base of the club, and his left hand at the top of the club. There are three different types of grips. There's the overlap, in which the right hand rests on top of the left hand, the ten finger grip, where the hands are separated, and the interlocked grip, where the pinkie of the right hand and the index finger of the left hand are intertwined. After figuring out which group is more comfortable to you, you will set up with the club, and make sure that the Vs that are made between the thumb and the index finger point towards your right shoulder. As seen here, the V lines up toward my right shoulder. The V again lines up towards my right shoulder. My grip is properly set up. And that is how you properly grip a golf club."
