how to grip a golf club

To grip a golf club properly (for a right-handed golfer), start with the left hand: place the club diagonally across your fingers, from the middle crease of the index finger to just above the little finger, so it rests under the meaty part of your palm and the crease of your index finger. Wrap your fingers around the club with your left thumb on top or slightly to the right of the grip, forming a "V" between your thumb and index finger that points between your chin and left shoulder. Your grip pressure should be moderate, around 3 to 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. Next, place your right hand on the club with the club resting in the middle joint of your right index finger (known as the trigger finger). Rest your right thumb on the left side of the grip, forming a "V" between your right thumb and index finger pointing toward your chin or right shoulder. Close your fingers around the grip and use one of the common grips to link the hands: overlap (where the right pinky overlaps the left index finger), interlock (right pinky and left index finger interlock), or ten-finger (all fingers on the club, commonly used by those with smaller hands). The hands should work as a unit, and the grip pressure should stay comfortable to allow wrist movement for power. This method allows for freedom of wrist movement essential for a good swing and ensures the clubface is well controlled for shots.
