How Far to Grip Down on Golf Club

The correct grip on a golf club is a very personal thing and can vary from person to person depending on their size, strength, and swing. However, as a general rule of thumb, most golfers grip down on their club by about 1 to 2 inches. This allows them to have better control over the club and make more accurate shots.

 

How to Grips Golf Club

There are several ways to grip a golf club, but the most common and effective grip is called the overlapping grip. To use the overlapping grip, follow these steps:

  1. Hold the club in your non-dominant hand, with the clubhead pointing towards the ground and the handle running across the palm of your hand.

  2. Place your dominant hand on the club, overlapping your non-dominant hand so that the index finger of your dominant hand rests on top of the pinky finger of your non-dominant hand.

  3. Adjust your grip so that your hands are evenly spaced on the club, with your thumbs pointing down the shaft of the club.

  4. Make sure that your wrists are straight and that your hands are in a relaxed position.

By using the overlapping grip, you will be able to maintain control of the club and make smooth, controlled swings.
