Welcome to GripGuru.Golf.

A proper grip is a fundamental requirement in the golf swing. A golfer must hold the club correctly to swing it correctly.

Most of my students over the past 26 years grip the club incorrectly, which by default means that they swing the club incorrectly.

A major problem of the average player is his misconception of his golf swing. His goal should be to increase the velocity of the club head RATHER than trying to "kill" the ball.

Translation: The golf movement is more of a whip than a hit.

I'll let you think about that little gem.
