Grip

Hi All,

I use right handed clubs but a lefty's grip (right hand at top of club) anyone out there that can tell me the correct way to grip the club. Can't even it the ground never mindthe ball if i use a right handed grip !!!!

go to the golf lessons part of this web site.

Thanks msklar92. I thought that perhaps I might have to hold itdifferently because of my "cackhanded" way of holding the club.

Although it might feel better now, I strongly recommend you to learn to grip the club the right way (left hand top for right-handed players). If you don't, you will be sorry later when you realize that your distance and direction control will be so much worse than possible.

Why change?Your grip is what might be called the Shinty grip, shinty is a game similar to Hurling in Ireland.In the shinty area of Scotland this grip is regarded as normal,many exponents play to single figures. If I recall a South african pro.won a tournament in Europe using this grip, sorry if spelling incorrect his name was Sesunker Sewgolum.

peter3, auldyn,

thanks for the comments. I am inclined to hook the ball left and thought i might have to change the positioning of my hands to correct it. distance wise driving aroung 250 isn't a problem just sometimes it ends on the wrong fairway. would'nt hit it 250 inches if I used left over right
