Find a more effective glovedhand hold position

LEE SCARBROW

Most golfers take hold of the club with the head sitting on the ground. With the handle relatively upright, it’s hard to route the club through the correct part of the hand. The palm tends to be introduced more under the handle. Instead, take your grip with the shaft angled upward at around 45°. With the club in this position, it’s much easier for you to push the correct part of the lead palm against the grip. From here, follow the golden rule of “palm first, fifingers fingers second”. Check the grip runs from the palm crease under the heel of the hand to the index finger knuckle. This will help you get the feeling of the palm being more on top of the grip than under it.
