How to grip your club



Gripping with your bottom hand

With your arms hanging naturally, your palms should be either side of the grip facing each other.

And remember not to be too tense with your grip.

STEP ONE

Gripping with your bottom hand

Bring your right hand onto the club.

The palm should face the target.

STEP TWO

Gripping with your bottom hand

Close your fingers around the grip.

As you lock your hands into place, your forefinger should cock up slightly to form a 'trigger', rather than wrapping all the way round the club like your other fingers.

STEP THREE

Gripping with your bottom hand

The V-formed by the thumb and forefinger on your right hand should point up to your right shoulder.

As you look down you should be able to see two knuckles on each hand.

You are now ready to hit that ball.
