For the second episode of Mike Bricker's golf tips, we focus on the grip. As he says, this is your one and only connection to the golf club, so it is important to be comfortable and consistent.
In the video below, Mike shows us a trick he uses to keep the grip of the club properly lined up in his hand by drawing small marks on the palm of his glove. This guarantees the club will be in the same place in your hand for every swing.
Next, Mike talks about the three different options for setting the bottom hand on the club. First is the 'overlap' grip with the right pinky resting on top of the middle and index fingers of the left hand (for right handed players). Second is the 'interlocking' grip where that pinky is locked in between the middle and index finger, (the grip that I use!). And third is simply wrapping all fingers on both hands around the grip.
If you choose to change your grip, remember that it takes time to become totally comfortable with the new position. Allow yourself a few sessions at the driving range to consistently lock in to the new grip, so much so that you can do it without a club or in your sleep.
