GRIP PRESSURE

Golf Tip from: “The Golf Doctor”
Mike Calbot

Importance of Good Grip Pressure.

Many golfers complain of un solid, misdirected golf shots as well as a lack of distance and sometimes this can be attributed to a simple thing called "Grip Pressure". When a golfer has a light grip pressure on the backswing and a tight grip pressure on the downswing it creates a lot of tension or, what we call in golf, "putting the brakes on" and causes a slowdown in the speed of the swing as well as a loss of the feel of the golf club. To avoid this, institute this thought, take your grip, squeeze the club very tightly and call this #10 pressure. Now go to one half that pressure or #5 pressure. Swing the club back with this #5 pressure and forward with this #5 pressure. You will start to feel the weight of the club in both the backswing and forward swing and finish. If you can learn to keep the grip pressure constant throughout the swing, your tempo and your timing will improve and the more awareness you have of the weight of the club, the better. This will most assuredly help your game to get more distance and more solid shots.
Best of luck and have fun.

Mike
