There are many web pages and videos out there regarding only the grip. You can watch 100 videos and walk away with your head spinning on that one topic. So be careful. But after a few minutes I did find this one for you, which seems to focus on the basics. The whole video was pretty good, but focus on what he's saying about the trailing hand (he's a righty). Watch him place his trailing thumb over the center line of …

u/anonjamo 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “first time swinging a driver, keep hitting the ground before the ball”
I was making a joke with my first comment but fuck that guy that responded next. Not helpful at all. When you first start playing golf you will naturally use some sort of grip that makes you feel comfortable, however that grip typically won't work. When you learn the "correct" grip, it will feel VERY awkward at first. Even though that is the case, just stick with it and it will create great fundamentals and will …

Makes sense, I just spent a round spraying every driver hit because I learned a slight adjustment, then forgot how to do it. Tweaks take reps. I'm no expert, but just looking at the video, ▶ this video is the main thing that stands out. That will let you bring the ball closer so you're not reaching so much.

u/Jackies_Army 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Shanking every ball”
Your grip is a complete disaster. Both hands. Only fix one thing at a time, don't try to fix multiple things in one practice but the grip should be first. Interlock is the most popular. Overlap is a close second. 10 finger / baseball is a very distant third. See what feels good for you. ▶ this video
