The Grip

According to Ben Hogan, the grip must be perfect. A 99% good grip is not a good grip, he used to say. And I can’t agree more because the way you place your hands is going to dictate the way you are going to swing the club.

The index fingers and thumbs of both hands should make no pressure at all because that’s what activates the outside muscles of the arms and shoulders. You really want to use the inside muscles of your arms during the swing.

One needs to accurately repeat the same grip over and over again so that you give yourself a chance to have a consistent swing.
I recommend the following drills. Until you feel more comfortable, it’s better to do them at home, not at the practice range.
