The golf grip is talked about constantly in golf instruction. Every instructor says you should grip the club this way or that way, but few can tell you “Why?” you need a proper golf grip. In this golf instruction video, I demonstrate why the proper golf grip is so important and worth achieving to help you get into the ideal golf impact position with little manipulation of the club.
Many golfers, especially higher handicappers, seem to feel that there is no right way on how to grip the golf club. Of course, this simply isn’t true. In fact, in this golf lesson I show you just how important knowing how to grip a golf club properly really is.
You will find out that even if you do everything in the golf swing perfectly, if you do not know how to grip the golf club correctly, the ball can still fly way off line. There is no point in working hard on your golf swing only to have a perfect swing ruined by a faulty golf grip. If you want to see exactly how your swing fundamentals measure up, try our AI swing analyzer to get instant feedback on your mechanics.

In the image below, you can see me in a good impact position, but this ball would slice off the planet. Not because of something I did in my golf swing, but all because of my overly weak golf grip. The best golf grip would be one that allows me to comfortably hold on to the golf club with light pressure and would allow the golf club to easily square up at impact.
But Ben Hogan had a weak golf grip — that must make it ok, right? NO! Ben Hogan spent the better part of his career learning to fight a hook and built in numerous compensations in his golf swing to combat this ball flight tendency — having a super weak grip was one of them.
