The Seven Different Golf Grips
There are seven different ways to grip a golf club. Although it sounds overwhelming, it truly is not. Once you begin to experiment you will eliminate four or five of them instantly. I will give you a guide to get you started on the right track.

For starters, if you have small hands and fingers, the interlocking golf grip will probably work best for you (#14).

Interlocking

It helps you wrap your fingers and palm around the grip handle.

On the other hand, if you have large hands, the Harry Vardon-overlapping grip will probably work best for you (#13). Out of seven, two are eliminated right away.

Overlapping/Vardon

If you are struggling with which one to use, hitting 50 balls at the practice facility one day will give you the answer.

The next popular golf grip is the baseball grip (#11).

10 finger/baseball

Some people feel comfortable gripping the golf club with all 10 fingers on the club. This is not the most popular method, but if it works, use it.

The next grip is one I have used during the past 20 years of teaching and it is referred to as the split-hand grip (#12).

Split hand

If you are really struggling with not hitting the ball or if every time you hit a shot it goes to the right, this grip is for you. You might use this grip for six months and then switch over to a more conventional golf grip or you might stay with it forever. I have used it with new golfers and have had great success.

Strong, Neutral, and Weak Golf Grips
The above-mentioned four grips are the proper way to hold a club- however there are three different ways you can apply them to the golf club.

You can grip the golf club in a Weak position (no knuckles of the left hand showing) (#8),

Neutral (one knuckle of the left hand showing) (#9)

or the Strong position (2 or 3 knuckles of the left hand showing) (#10).

Effects of the Golf Grip on Golf Ball Flight
During your experimenting, if the golf ball has a tendency to curve to the right, you will want to move BOTH hands to the right (strong). When you move the hands make sure you do it slowly. If the golf ball has a tendency to curve to the left, you will want to move BOTH hands slowly to the left (weak). Now, if the golf ball is flying without a curve, you have the correct grip for you. DO NOT EXPERIMENT WITH ANY OTHER GRIP.
