The golf grip tips below, will show that there may be cases where golfers may need to strengthen or weaken their grips, in order to improve their golfswings.

The grips illustrated in the pictures below, are slightly exaggerated to get the point across. To learn the neutral way of gripping the club, visit the golf grip lesson page.

If you are not that strong physically and wanted to generate more distance on your shots, it may be beneficial for you to strengthen your grip.

To strengthen your grip, make a simple adjustment by moving your left hand clockwise on your grip - you should see three, to three-and-a-half knuckles when looking down.

This stronger grip, will help you release the club better through impact, which will give you more distance.

If you simply cannot get rid of an erratic hook shot, a weaker grip might be the answer to help you hit straight shots.

By weakening your grip, you will take your right hand 'out of the swing' a little, which should result in straigher shots.

To weaken your grip, move your left hand anti-clockwise on the grip - you should see between one-and-a-half and two knuckles, when looking down.
