How to Grip a Golf Club for Long, Straight Shots

A great deal has been written about the importance of a proper golf grip over the years. Ben Hogan devoted 17 pages to the subject in his landmark book "Five Fundamentals," which led many golfers to believe the grip is some magical, mystical secret of the golf swing. But after years of teaching countless golfers, I have learned two important truths.

First, grips come in all shapes and sizes and can still be effective. And second, there is an ideal way to grip the golf club based on biomechanics and human anatomy, and it is surprisingly easy to learn. In this video, I demonstrate the details of how to grip the golf club so that the hands work together seamlessly as a unit, regardless of your golf swing type.

From that solid foundation, you can make minor adjustments to your golf grip to match what works best for your swing and desired ball flight.
