THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON YOU WILL EVER HAVE

I am often asked if you had to pick one lesson that would help everyone universally, what would you choose? The answer is easy, Grip Pressure. Having the proper grip pressure, I feel is the most important element of the golf swing. If you hold club too tight, you loose complete feel for the golf swing and throws off your timing and tempo. Teaching the fundamentals, grip, stance, ball position and alignment are fairly easy, compared to teaching the proper grip pressure. I try to explain it by comparing it to holding a child’s hand crossing the street. You have control of it, he’s not going to run into the street, but you’re not hurting him.

Have you ever heard someone say. “I hit the ball great on the range, but cant take it to the course?” When you are on the range, there is no pressure, you have a basket of balls, there is no consequences. Basically, you are relaxed. Then we proceed to our game on the first tee. Out of bounds left, water right. We automatically tense up. And the first thing to tighten is your grip on the club. Once your hands get tight on the club that will lead to your arms, then shoulders, then your lower body. This tension throughout your body, greatly changes the flow of the golf swing and effects you’re timing and tempo. When timing and tempo is altered the release of the club will be altered leading to errant shots.

So what can I do to check my grip pressure? First, breath! Simple enough but good deep breathing reduces tension. Second, make a conscious effort to hold the club soft. You should be able to feel the club head at the end of the shaft. Third, try and stay in constant motion before swinging. You will never see a good player stand stagnant over the ball for any length of time. Waggle the club, keep your feet moving or hover the club above the ground. All of these will help reduce tension from creeping in.
