Golf Training Grips

If you are not familiar with training grips they are simply molded rubber golf grips that force you to grip the club correctly. They are not legal to use in tournament or league play, but on the practice range they are invaluable in teaching the correct grip. Furthermore you can hit golf balls while using one so you can feel the way your hands should interact with the club from the start of your golf swing to the finish.

Everything you do in a golf swing is designed to return the club face squarely to the ball. Even though every move, pivot, and shift either contributes to, or detracts from, that objective, the fact of the matter is if your golf grip is not correct you will not consistently hit good golf shots. Your grip is the only link to the golf club, so if it is too tight, to loose, or not aligned properly and applying pressure at the correct points on the club shaft, you can suffer a myriad of problems with the flight of your golf ball.

A good golf swing begins with a good grip. But for people just beginning to learn to play golf, or for others who have struggled with their game for a long time and want to improve their scores, what does a good grip look like? More importantly, what does it feel like? That is where a golf training grip can come in very handy. It leaves nothing to chance and it allows you to feel how a proper golf grip should feel.

At one time you had to purchase a specially molded training grip and then either purchase a used golf club or dig one out of your attic you no longer used, and permanently attach it to the club. That’s OK…if you only want to practice shots with one club and then not even one you actually use on the course. But today you have a choice that will free you to practice with all your clubs without permanently installing a training grip on them. A quick search on the internet for “golf training grip” will yield a number of results for traditional permanent training grips, but also a new temporary grip that can be placed over your existing grip on your clubs, then removed and used on all your other clubs! This allows you to practice with every club in your bag, and practice every shot you want to practice while on the practice range.

By practicing with a golf club training grip you can get the first step of your golf swing started off correctly every time you tee it up. By using one of the new removable training grips you can practice with every club in your bag and know that you are gripping the golf club correctly.
