Three Golf Grip Mistakes You Should Never Make

💪Gripping the golf club incorrectly can lead to a slice or a hook and reduce club head speed.

👋Placing the right hand too far underneath the club can result in an anti-slice grip and fail to fix an over-the-top swing.

🤝Having the hand on top of the club sacrifices proper grip for arm connection, leading to weak swings and club head rotation.

🖐️Placing the club too far on the front pad of the left hand can cause shots to go left, while placing it on the back pad allows for better control and power.

⛳Using a drill to shallow out the swing and feel the motion of the club will help improve swing plane and avoid an over-the-top movement.
