Golf Club Research Paper

A good golf swing begins with a good grip. The grip is the most boring part of the golf swing, but for most serious golfers there is an undeniable beauty in the way a great player sets his hands on a golf club. The grip is the only contact the player has with the golf club making it an instrumental part of the golf swing. Lets talk about how to place your hands correctly on the golf club.
First,with the back of your left hand facing the target and the club in the general position it would be in at address, place the club in the left hand so that the shaft is pressed up under the muscular pad at the inside heel of the palm, and the shaft also lies directly across the top joint of the forefinger.

With your left hand already on the club, hold your hand extended outward facing the target. Secondly, place the club in your right hand so the shaft lies across the top joint of the four fingers and definitely below the palm. The right hand grip is a finger grip. The two fingers which should apply most of the pressure are the two middle fingers. Finally, with the club held firmly in the fingers of your hand, simply fold your right hand over you left thumb.
Now a word about the little finger of the right hand. You can interlock with the index finger of the left hand like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods do, or overlap it like Ben Hogan, or just go with the ten finger baseball grip as some women golfers do. Most importantly, find whats comfortable for you.
The hands fit together on the golf club like a jigsaw puzzle, but all good golfers have one thing in common and that is a fundamentally sound grip. It will allow you to have power off the tee box and finesse around the greens. Although it may feel awkward at first, if you will practice the grip for 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks it will become second nature and will make learning the rest of the swing much easier. I hope this helps your golf game, and I look forward to seeing your around the golf
