I use Ben Hogan’s Grip!
Because I tend to hook a lot, I’ve recently switched my grip from normal (where both Vs point to your right armpit) to a slightly different one where the right hand “V” points to your neck as seen above. (This is the one Ben Hogan used back in the day because he was a wild hooker.)
This would be considered slightly “weak” grip as it will promote more of a fade shot but I’ve had some good results with it so I am sticking with it for now.
Btw, your grip will dictate your swing so if you have a weak grip, you might hit the ball better with a flatter swing whereas with a strong grip, you hit the ball better with an upright swing.
For example, Freddy Couples has one of the strongest grips on Tour, he has a very upright swing. I can’t think of anyone using a “weak” grip, perhaps Vijay Singh?
Well grip is your life for a golf swing, without the right grip for your swing, you can’t hit the ball good.
So practice your grip daily, 10 minutes a day, hold an invisible golf club or hold one while you watch TV.
Grip, is everything.
I am getting that new Canon 7D camera soon so hopefully I will have some better shots of golf basics starting next week, happy golfin’!
