Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor and today's death move series we want talk about a faulty grip. A lot of times people have their grip on in different positions whether it be here here here there's all sorts of combinations and you get people in trouble. What happens is when the grip starts to move in different positions or he'll start opposing one of the other they don't work as a cohesive unit or they don't work as a cohesive unit all the sudden the ball flight consistency whether it's who the ball left or right or right to left can make it very very interesting to say the least if you get the ball you know where it's going to go. So what I want to do is make sure that your grip is on the club a little bit more consistently.
We want to make sure that the V's form with the index finger in the thumb on the left hand is important towards your right shoulder, we want to make sure that the V for index finger and the thumb on the right hand is running parallel and point towards your right shoulder. So the V's run in parallel sequence of course your right shoulder which means your palms facing one another that would be probably the most common grip position here again you can modify a little bit based on what you want to do as far as the ball fights are concerned but this is probably the most common place to start. What's going to happen is the more the hands are turned to the right or in a stronger condition the easier it is for the clubface to release and the easiest for the ball to move from the right to the left. So if your grip is opposing and you have hands all over the place it's going to be very difficult to release the club consistency consistently and you have some issues so that grip make sure the V's are pointing towards your right shoulder and you are going to be in good shape.
