GET A GRIP ON YOUR FUNDAMENTALS

WITH GOLF PRIDE AMBASSADOR DAVID LEADBETTER

Ben Hogan famously said that good golf starts with a good grip, and that’s why I – and a third of players on the PGA Tour – use reminder grips, with a ridge along the back to help with consistent finger and hand placement. Golf Pride’s new ALIGN Technology brings reminder grips into the 21st Century. A raised, tactile ridge on the back of three grip models helps you place your fingers on them in the same position every time, and get your club in the ideal part of your hands. But as crucial as it is, the grip is just one of the big three fundamentals of a solid golf swing – the others are posture and alignment. I’ll cover them all here, and I’ve also got some easy check-points you can try this weekend to get a grip on your swing essentials.
