Read this for a Great Golf Grip!

I recently  met with LPGA, PGA Pro Sue Kaffenburgh to talk about golf. Within minutes she gave me a golf tip that promises to give me those extra yards I’ve been looking for in my golf drive. This valuable golf tip originally appeared as one of Golf Magazine‘s Top 10 golf tips of the year. This could change your game!

Hammer Time

by Sue Kaffenburgh – New England PGA Teacher of the Year, 2000

For more distance, you need a grip in which the hands are able to activate your wrists to maximize leverage—and power.

To feel this grip, hold a shaft 10 inches from the clubhead, one hand at a time, as if you were hammering with the clubhead. (IMAGE 1) You’ll notice three things: The shaft lays in your fingers, your thumb is slightly off-center, and your wrists are free to hinge. When you play, grip the club with your left hand first (IMAGE 2) as if to hammer the ground, then connect the right hand, again as if to hammer. (IMAGE 3) This is your grip,and your key to extra yardage!

That’s it. The whole kit and kaboodle tip. Try it and see what happens to your yardage. Let me know how it goes. I’m playing a round of golf this weekend and will report back on my success!

If you already use this grip, how does it work for you? Any tips you want to share?
