How To Grip A Golf Club- Alternate Methods

If this grip does not feel natural or comfortable for you, you can use the 10-finger or baseball grip.  For this grip, you place both hands on the golf club so that there is no space between the fingers of your two hands.  This should produce a grip similar to how you would hold a baseball bat.   This grip is not as accurate as others, but it is a good start for beginners or young players. 

Another grip that you can try is an interlocking grip.  This is similar to the baseball grip, but you interlock your pinky fingers instead of just placing your hands side by side.  This grip is good for reducing tension and movement in your wrist.
