The golf grip stands as one of the most important aspects of the game. A major part of learning golf is devoted to mastering the right kind of grip.
In a golf match, about half of the strokes are devoted to putting and thus, it is imperative for you to devote complete attention to this part of your game. It is a major contributor to your score and if you want to be a good golf player, you must make sure that you practice putting will full enthusiasm and dedication.
There are a number of ways in which you can perfect your putter grip. After you learn the basics, you have to understand by yourself and with the help of your coach which grip suits your style of playing the game. Identifying the grip you are comfortable with and then working on it to become an expert of your kind of grip is one of the most important parts of learning the game.
Below is a list of the most popular putting styles that you need to be familiar with:
• The traditional overlap grip: This is by far the grip adopted by the maximum numbers of golf players. This grip consists of placing your left hand on the grip and resting the right hand just below the left. Once in this position, you need to connect both of your hands by covering the fingers of the right hand with the index finger of the left hand.
• The two fingers down grip: For this grip, you need to cover the putter grip with both of your hands. After you do this, you need to place the index fingers of both your hands in such a way that they point towards the putter grip.
• The Claw grip: This grip is considered by experts to be one of the most unusual grips in the game of golf. However, many golfers consider this to be a great grip whenever they face a putting problem. In this grip, you need to place the left hand on the grip and then the right hand above the putter grip. The final step consists of hooking the hand with the help of your right thumb.
• The left below hand grip: Another golfers’ favorite, this grip is the exact opposite of the traditional putting grip. All you need to do is to inverse the positions of your right and left hand.
• The box grip: This is a relatively new kind of grip. It has emerged as the preferred kind of putting grip for a number of golfers after it came into being a few years ago. For this grip, you need to put both your hands side by side in order to make the shoulders level. Then, put your left hand on top of the putting grip and the right hand about an inch below it. This will create a box shape with your hands.
These are the most popular golf grips used by golfers around the world. On these basic grips, each golfer can add his or her own improvisation. So if you are a beginner, start off by going for the grip that suits your playing style best and then gradually improvise on it to improve your game.

No related posts.]]> If you play golf you know that a missed two foot putt will cost you as many strokes on your score card as a 280 yard drive that splits the fairway. It is very unfortunate but most golfers don’t practice their putting as much as they should, instead they go to the driving range and hit driver after driver and then wonder why they three putt on the greens, thus ruining what could have been a great round.
What we have put together are a few tips that will help you become more like a Tiger Woods putter and help you to alleviate those unnecessary stokes in your round.
How to Understand the Grain on the Green
Tiger Woods understands what the grain on the green is telling him. For example, the grain of the green will follow the sun. So when you are looking at your putt you need to locate the sun. This will let you know if you are putting with the grain, against the grain or across the grain. Knowing this will help you determine the speed of the putt and how much break to play. For instance, if you are putting downhill into the sun you are putting with the grain and you are going to have a very fast putt so you will need to add more break and just get it started online and gravity will do the rest.
Reading the Putt
Reading the putt correctly takes practice. Watch when Tiger is putting, he has a routine that he does every time (unless it is a tap in). He marks his ball, and then he proceeds to walk around the entire circumference of his putt. What is he doing? First he is looking at the grain, next he is looking at the angulations of the green and third, he is feeling the green. When he is walking around the green he is also feeling the green with his feet. This will help to feel slight angulations that maybe very hard to see. Try this sometime especially when you are playing an unfamiliar course you’ll be surprised by what your feet will tell you.
Know the Local Knowledge
One thing that many golfers don’t even think to do is learn the local knowledge. This can help you immensely on the course. What do mean by this? Well each course has its own little quirks, for example most putts tend to break towards the water. If you live near mountains you will learn that the course may lean toward the valley there for affecting your putt. This type of knowledge will help you become a more Tiger Woods like putter because he knows the local knowledge on all the courses he plays and knows that some putts may look like they should to the right but it actually does the complete opposite.
So in conclusion if you want to be a Tiger Woods putter and not a three putter-learn the grain, read the greens. And ask about the local knowledge for any course you play.
