Btw, most people do select a grip based on their hand and finger size. For people with large fingers and hands Interlocking takes their left palm off the grip causing a feeling of insecurity on the club. (which in turn can cause grip pressure problems)

If you have large hands try switching to an overlapping grip, but more importantly try to have a pro or a VERY good golfer take a look at your grip to make sure your hands are in the correct position.

Out of all the lessons I teach most people have a general idea of the grip but screw up where the pad of the top hand rests and how the hands reside on the club. (one hand too strong, the other too weak, etc). Now that is the most important aspect of a golf grip.

Then there's grip pressure and wrist flexibilty which directly infuence how the club rotates through the swing and how you well set the club (which relates to distance and accuracy).

You're reight, DA, tension is the bane of all golfers.

A bad grip, a bad setup, and tension add up to a bad golf swing.

I don't know what allyall are talkin' about, but I usually put my beer down and get a running start from about halfway across the bar and just hit the hell out of that little roller ball. :wink:













interlock, when (before kids) I used to have time to play.

Not true. your hands work as more of a unit using the overlapping thus causing less rotation of the hands coming through the shot. interlocking the opposite. I shot 67 last time I played how bout you?

I teach golf for a living, how about you? Next you'll probably tell me you switch from interlocking to overlapping to draw the ball and the opposite to fade the ball.:lol:

I'm not impressed by a 67 on 9 holes. How many times have I been told "hey I played ok today and shot a 73 today" but when I play golf with that person and make them play by the rules of golf they shoot 93?

where'd you get your certification, USGTF? Just because you teach golf doesn't mean you know anything about it. 90% of pros don't know what they are talking about. regardless, I wasn't saying that interlocking or overlapping changes the shape of the shot (fade or draw). I was saying that interlocking can cause more of a flip through the hitting zone and overlapping can help a player hold the angle longer creating lag. BTW I played D1 golf so I know the rules of the game.

Agree, fluffing the ball up in the fairways, dropping instead of rehitting from the tee when a shot goes out of bounds etc....

Have you golfed with me? :p Actually I've been trying to play more within the rules the past few years. I still have to take mulligans or use a foot wedge every once and a while, but I am 10x better than I was 3-4 years ago. Back then I probably averaged 3 hits per each shot. I just dropped balls until I hit a decent one. Now if I have a bad shot there is still a chance that I'll drop a ball and hit another, but it is usually just for practice. I played 18 Saturday and had 3 legit pars which was good for me. I have a new driver that I can actually hit for once. I am having a lot of trouble with my irons right now for some reason, probably because I've been trying out new clubs and hitting off of turf at the range rather than grass.

One reason I like outings is that you can move the ball around and fuff it up.
