Why Your Golf Grip Matters

From Mark Blackburn On June 17, 2022
Have you ever taken a golf lesson? Or attended a golf clinic with a trained PGA Professional? If you have have, odds are good that one of the first things the pro will examine (and usually correct) is how... you hold the club. The grip is the first building block of the golf swing and many argue that it is the most important golf fundamental.

Your hands are your only connection to the golf club. A good grip will allow your hands to work together to control the golf club, deliver the clubface squarely and transfer maximum energy into the golf ball. Knowing how to hold the golf club properly sounds very basic, but as Titleist staff member Mark Blackburn shares in this video, the tiny nuances of how you place your hands on the club can have a dramatic effect on where and how far your golf shots fly.

Follow Mark's suggestions for building a grip to complement your natural tendencies and to help achieve your desired ball flight. When you build a sound grip, a sound, repeatable swing will naturally follow.
