A good golfer is the foundation to a very good golf swing. There is no doubt that if you’re looking to change something within your ball flight, the grip is the first place to start. Even if you’re really convinced that you have something very, very wrong within your golf swing, the chances are you might be able to trace the issue back to your golf grip.

What we’re going to talk about is the too strong golf grip. And that is something which you see a lot of amateurs try and employ. A strong golf grip tends to be something that a lot of people will get used to and will try and incorporate during their games because it closes the clubface more throughout the technique. This is very, very important to a lot of golfers who have subjected themselves over the years to hitting a sly shot where the clubface is too open at the point of impact. So what a lot of people do, they try and strengthen their golf grip normally one or two ways, by getting their left-hand if you’re a right-handed golfer more over on top of the grip whereas a neutral grip would want to sit pretty much on top with 2.5 knuckle showing on the left-hand. Strong golf grips tend to get the left-hand a lot more over and then the right-hand, a lot more underneath the club. And what this will do is the hands and the palms face each other as they move into impact is shook down the clubface and get aiming left of the target. The problems with this is it tends to go hooks and poor shapes. It also goes a little bit lower than you would normally see. Some of the benefits are you do get a much stronger flight when you’re connecting with it well. But what we’re going to do throughout this video series is have a look in more detail at the strong golf grip, the problems that it can cause, also the benefits that it can actually give and also how you can switch around and change it if you’re not 100% happy with how your ball flights are looking. So stay tuned and we’ll talk you through different similarities and the differences that you can make within your grip to give you those different ball flights.
