TYPES OF GOLF GRIPS
THE OVERLAPPING GRIP.
Although there are many ways to grip the club, the most effective and widely accepted one is the overlapping grip. This golf grip promotes excellent unity of the hands, allowing them to function as a one-piece unit throughout the swing. The overlapping grip places initial control in the left hand and keeps it there throughout the backswing and early in the downswing. The right hand then takes over and applies the power through the clubshaft and clubhead.
Positioning your left hand on the club correctly is the first step toward building a good golf grip.
To obtain this position, place the open palm against the left side of the shaft and then close the palm and fingers around the shaft. This puts the shaft under the muscular pad and slightly above the roots of the last three fingers of the left hand. A good test to tell if you have the correct left-hand grip is to bring the club up to eye level and open the last three fingers. If the club does not move, you have the correct left-hand grip, because the pad of the palm and the crook of the forefinger around the shaft will maintain a firm grip for you.
About the left thumb: There are two accepted positions for it on the shaft, depending upon your experience and skill. The straight-down-the-shaft thumb position is generally used by better players and those who are prone to hooking (a right-to-left flight pattern). The other position has the thumb slightly on the right side of the grip.
