Weekly golf tip with Brad Redding (May 12)
Grip 106
Pick up a golf ball and throw it. Did you feel where the ball in your hand when you threw it? You felt it in the forefinger and middle finger. In a golf grip you want to feel the pressure of the club against that forefinger. That is why the forefinger will be slightly separated from you middle finger. That is why it is called a “trigger” finger like when you shoot a gun. Your thumb and back part of your forefinger will push together so the club never slips in between those. What kind of grip you use is up to you. I am not very picky. Overlap interlocking or 10-finger gripping are options, but I would push you more to an overlapping or interlocking.
