If you’ve struggled to find a consistent, solid grip, this feel will help you get it right. Golfers often separate their hands when building their grip — the left hand is too weak, the right hand is too strong. Instead, think of pressing your hands toward each other as you grip the club, almost like kneading bread. This cupping motion helps you see 2–3 knuckles on the lead hand and apply pressure with the trail hand for better control and connection.

So, if you’re struggling building your grip, have a think about this. So, we see a lot of golfers, in fact, had a lesson just the other day, the left hand wants to go weak all the time with him and the right hand wanted to go strong with him all the time. And we see this happen a lot. We generally see the hands want to go in this direction when it comes to holding the golf club. Whereas, what we actually did was, and it was great because my lesson actually came up with a term on this and how to think about it, but what we want to do is we actually want to press our hands that way. So you can see I’m creating a bit more cup in my hands. What is that doing? It’s allowing me to get a little bit of cup here. So I can see two to three knuckles on my left hand and the tightest logo. It’s allowing that right hand to push down. So we apply pressure onto the top of the handle. These are things that we want to do. So my lesson actually said it was like kneading bread. So you’re kind of pushing down like that. So if imagine holding a golf club, your left hand likes to get a bit weak and your right hand gets a bit strong. If you get that sensation of pushing down and kneading, you get the strength in that left hand, but you also get that sort of pinch on top of the handle with that right hand. So, if you’re struggling with your grip and you tend to go a bit this way, get that sensation of pushing down and kneading that
