The swing is the central part of the game of golf. The swing itself may seem simple, but it encompasses many different things. These include the grip of the club, the address (or stance) over the golf ball, and the actual swing. There are many things to perfect in order to hit a ball correctly. Because of this, most people turn to professionals to seek help and advice. I understand the complexity of the swing and the struggles people undergo in order to find the perfect swing. In this article I want to go over the basics of the swing and solutions to common problems people encounter.
The Grip – The grip is essential to the game. Your hands are the only part of your body touching the club. If you hold the club properly, you are more likely to strike the ball when the clubhead is square to the ball. This greatly improves your chances of hitting the ball straight.
Start with your left hand. The club should run from the base of your little finger to the middle of the index finger. Wrap your fingers around the club so that the thumb and index finger meet. While holding the club in front of you with your left hand, two to three knuckles should be visible. Now apply your right hand parallel to the left. Your left thumb will now be covered when you close your right hand around the club. It should fit beneath the base of the right thumb. Finding the right grip pressure can be difficult, but it will eventually allow for a fluid swing.
