Ever notice how a few days your shooting feels clean while the other days is like shaking a garden sock? The culprit can be hidden in simple appearance – your control.
I have seen that countless time in teaching. A golf player struggling with sustainability, fighting a slice or stroke or simply not getting the distance it takes. We associate it with attitude, rocking roads and tempo, but sometimes the real issue is literally in their hands.
The foundation of everything
Your fastening is the only physical connection you need to make Golf club. Think about it for a second.
EVERY purpose, movement, and ons of the power you create must transfer through those fingers wrapped around a rubber or leather handle.
Get the mistake of controlling and you are fighting a battle uphill before you start your back as well.
Finding your perfect pressure
“How close do I have to keep the club?”
This can be the most common control question I hear.
Here is an easy way to think about it and an analogy you’ve heard before: imagine you are holding a toothpaste tube with the lid off. You want to keep it hard enough not to fly out of your hands, but not as tight as the toothpaste squeezes out.
This is your ideal syllable pressure.
Very narrow creates tension that limits your hand hinges and kills the club speed. Very loose and the club can literally leave your hands (I’ve seen it happen, and it’s never beautiful).
All three syllable styles
There are three main syllable styles in Golf: overlapping (Vardon), interconnection and 10-Gishti (baseball).
IN overlappingThe pink of your attractive hand sits between the index and the middle finger of your lead hand. Creates a unified feeling between the two hands.
COMBINING Is the pink of your attractive hand with the index finger of your lead hand. This can be great for players with smaller hands.
Grip 10-Gishters, When all your fingers are in the club without nesing or intertwined, it offers maximum control and is often recommended for beginners, the elderly or those who do not have their hands.
No one is essentially better than others. The best getting It is he who feels natural and produces consistent results for you.
The secret to your palm
Here is something that many amateurs are wrong: where the club sits in your lead hand. The glove should work diagonally through your palmfrom the base of your rose to the middle of your index finger.
Look at your lead hand when grabbing the club. You need to be able to see two, maybe three knuckles. If you see four knuckles, your control is likely very strong. If you only see one, it’s probably too weak.
A control that is very strong often leads to hooks; Very weak usually produces slices. Finding that sweet place in the middle is essential for clarifying the club in Impact.
Stretch control
Here is a quick check I use with my students: get your normal check, then look down. The “vs” formed between the thumb and the index finger of both hands should show somewhere between your attractive shoulder and your chin.
If they are showing off your dragged shoulder, your control is likely to be very strong. If they are pointing to your lead shoulder, it is probably very weak.
The fastening is not placed in the stone
Remember, your control can evolve. As your swing develops, you can find that delicate adjustments in your control help you to better control the ball.
I have worked with players who needed a slightly stronger check to fight a constant slice and others who needed to weaken their control to stop the ball. There is no solution of a suitable size.
Next time you are in the rank, spend five minutes just working on your control. Make it comfortable with it. Take some slow movements, focusing on how it feels. You may be amazed at how such a small change can transform your whole game.
After all, in golf as in life, sometimes the biggest improvements come from the smallest adjustments.
