    Try interlock please!

    I wouldn't have a clue how it can make a big difference but please try interlock what I do. It makes you feel as if your hands are together as one throughout your swing and that they can't seperate. With 10 finger grip your hands can't swing together and swing problems can occur. I think anyway? Just try interlock.

      Sam,

      It does make a big difference. The hands should be one unit. If you use an overlap or interlocking grip will work together. A baseball grip sometimes tends to seperate in the hands. This causes the right hand to takeover the swing more than it should. The sequence of teh swing is easier maintained with a connected grip.

          Is it working for you

          Have you been hitting them good with the new grip Sam. It could help you stop slicing cause one hand won't take over as Golfbald said.

            If you're a hitter, using right arm thrust, the ten-finger grip will help you.

            Otherwise, go to an overlap grip. The more fingers you overlap the more your left arm is in control.

                Here's a grip tip that may help solve any pulled or hook shots. I've never read about or have been taught this - it's something I worked out for myself when I was going through a bad spell of pulling.

                When you address the ball and have got everything lined up squeeze the club as hard as you can with your leading hand (that's the left hand if you're right handed.) You may notice the club head turns inwards. Grip the club normally again and think about what happened. Experience will tell you to change your grip or keep it normal.

                For some people, gripping the club tightly happens involuntary in the through swing. If you pull or hook badly it would do no harm to practice gripping the club with even pressure throughout the swing. This is only an option and it's highly likely the causes is something else but, if you ever get at loggerheads, it might be worth your while giving it a go.

                  The Overlap Grip

                  Hi Sam,

                  It is best to get used to either the overlap or the interlock grip. The reason for using either one of these grips is so that the hands work together as one, rather than against each other.

                  The most widely used grip onthe Tours is the Overlap 'Vardon' grip. Although more recently the interlock grip has gained new popularity as it is that used by Tiger Woods and of course was used by the Great Jack Nicklaus.

                  I have put together a grip lesson here that explains how to grip the golf club with either of these two grips.

                  Enjoy.
