Putting Tips 2, The Grip
In this golf lesson we will discuss the importance of having a comfortable grip that works consistently well when you are putting. Good putting will help the average amateur who throws away so many wasted strokes, to improve their handicap dramatically!
Let’s start with the putting grip, the most common one used today and it’s the one that I prefer is the “reverse overlap.”
The reverse overlap putting grip is the most fundamentally sound putting grip, and offers the average player the highest chance of success. With this grip, the hands are positioned on the club in a way that naturally binds them together as a single unit, while removing any tendency to get “wristy” in the putting motion.
In the reverse overlap grip the palms are positioned in opposition to each other, which also provides stability. Combined with the proper set-up and stroke , this grip gives the golfer the best chance of keeping his putter square-in other words, moving it straight along the imaginary target line to propel the forward on the correct line to the hole.
1 Assuming the putting grip – Place your left hand against the grip handle of the putter, leaving a gap at the top of at least an inch. Now grip the club lightly with the middles, third and little fingers of your left hand, and the thumb straight down the grip of the putter.
2 Now place all four fingers of your right hand on the club, aligning the grip along the pads at the base of the fingers. The little finger of the right hand should be resting snugly against the middle finger of the left hand, and the right thumb should also be pointing straight down the grip handle.
3 Finally, position your left forefinger in one of the following ways:
Around the little finger of the right hand
Crooked around the ring finger of the right hand, overlapping the last two fingers.
Or run it straight down across all the fingers of the right hand.
Any of the variations described in this final step will form a good reverse overlap grip. Try each to see which suits you.
But remember, only do so when practicing, never experiment on the golf course. Any change while playing will distort your feel for the putting motion and may even pull your stroke off line
