TIPS FROM THE PROS
Tee Up a Better Grip
The grip is key to any swing, and this drill will help
minimize the gap in your grip.
T
he importance of a good grip cannot
be overstated. It's the starting
point for solid, straight shots and, eventually,
your best golf. I won't pay attention
to a student's swing until I see how their
hands are positioned on the club and how
well they are connected.
Regardless of how your hands come
together on the club (overlap, interlock
mngolf.org
or ten-finger), it's key that they remain
connected and don't come apart. To test
that, place a tee (a coin will work also)
between the pads of your hands and
see if it remains there as you hit shots.
Disconnection can be blamed on overactive
hands or poor positioning and major
gaps in your grip at address.
As with many things in golf, there are
exceptions.
I've seen pictures of Fred
Couples, Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson
with grip separation through impact and
a tee would definitely fall out. As talented
as those three are, I still emphasize connection
over gaps. Start the tee drill with
short shots and work into full swings. It
may feel restricted at first but will eventually
feel natural and strong.
