How tight should you grip the club on wedge shots? Expert explains

How glove markings can ensure a flawless golf grip, per Hall of Fame teacher

Golfers, Take Note: Glove Markings Enhance Grip

Hall of Fame golf teacher [Name] reveals a simple yet effective strategy to improve grip: using glove markings.

Proper hand positioning and finger placement are crucial for a consistent and powerful shot. By marking the glove at specific points, golfers can ensure their hands are in the correct position every time they grip the club.

“It’s a small adjustment that makes a big difference,” [Name] says. “By marking the glove, you create a reference point that allows you to replicate the perfect grip every time.”

Experienced golfers rely on this technique to fine-tune their game. Whether a seasoned pro or a beginner, implementing glove markings can significantly improve grip and lead to a more enjoyable and successful golfing experience.

This interlocking pattern, which promotes flexibility, power and control, ensures the club doesn’t shift in the takeaway or downswing. The Hall of Famer undoubtedly popularized this technique, however, today’s players mostly use an interlocking or baseball-style grip with the hands placed in this way, which was, in fact, pioneered by Harry Vardon, an English professional golfer, a century before Palmer.
