Beginner Golfer (1) Golf Grip - Driver Basics - Breaking 100

As you play golf, your form often starts to break down. In many cases, it begins with the most fundamental element: the grip.

First and foremost, the left-hand grip is crucial; the left thumb must be parallel to the grip.

So, in terms of my own hand, it is best to position it like this.

This corresponds to a ‘neutral grip’.

It is said that a ‘weak grip’ is rarely used. You should be slightly off from the exact center, but the direction of the grip and the direction of the left thumb must align.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my golf swing form keep breaking down?

Yes, it's often because the most basic grip is compromised. When playing golf, the foundational grip posture often gets disrupted, leading to the entire swing form breaking down, so checking your grip is essential.

How should I hold the correct left-hand grip?

You should hold it so that your left thumb and the grip are parallel. It's most important to hold it slightly off-center, but ensure the direction of the grip and your left thumb align, which is called a neutral grip.

Do you recommend a weak grip for beginner golfers?

No, it's generally recommended not to use a weak grip. For beginner golfers, holding a neutral grip, where the thumb and grip direction align slightly off-center, is advantageous for building a strong driver foundation and breaking 100.

Which hand is most important for a golf grip?

Yes, the most important is the left-hand grip. When holding the left-hand grip, you must align the direction of your thumb parallel to the grip to form a neutral grip, which is essential for maintaining form and building a stable swing foundation.
