Why?
Because
if you have a good grip your hands
and wrists will naturally move where
they should in the golf swing. But
if you have a poor grip you'll have
to make compensation after compensation
in your golf swing and you'll probably
never groove a swing that produces
a consistent ball flight.
"If
your grip is sound, you don't
have to think about your hands
at all during the swing. You're
free to concentrate on the other
aspects of good ball striking."

Also,
by having a good grip you're far more
likely to return the clubface to the
ball in a square position and you're
way more likely to do this consistently.
Plus, if your grip is correct then
you can rule out your hands as a possible
reason for inconsistencies.
Another
great advantage of a good grip is
that it will allow you to produce
a fade or draw when you want without
changing your basic grip. And a good
grip will allow you to control the
club without having to hold it too
tightly. This also means you'll get
very high levels of sensitivity from
your hands as you're swinging and
when you strike the golf ball.
"The
basic factor in all good golf
is the grip. Get it right, and
all other progress follows."

So
are you now convinced of the importance
of a great grip?
I
hope so, because I'm going to show
you the steps you need to follow to
create a grip that will give you the
most chance of a creating a consistent
golf swing. And the great thing about
the golf grip is that anyone can learn
how to hold the club correctly as
it takes very little athletic ability.
But
when you follow the steps I give you
it may mean you'll be holding the
club differently from what you're
currently doing. And if that's the
case it will feel strange and it may
even feel uncomfortable. BUT
please persevere because your new
grip will begin to feel natural very
quickly. And it will be the foundation
around which the rest of your consistent,
repeatable, powerful golf swing is
built.
It
really is that important, so don't
take this section lightly. And please
make the necessary changes and stick
to them (for at least 30 days)
because they will pay off big time
over the long term.
Also
please be rest assured that the grip
I'm teaching you here is used by the
vast majority of the top golfers in
the world today. So with that being
said here is The
Grip Procedure...
