1. Position the clubface square to the target with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand.
2. Now position the grip of the club so it sits between your palm and the base of your fingers - this is very important for building a swing which will deliver powerful, accurate shots.
3. Wrap your left hand around the grip (club face still square to target), with the 'V' formed between your thumb and forefinger pointing to your right shoulder. If you can see two-and-a-half knuckles when looking down at your left hand, you know you are gripping properly.
4. Then simply take your right hand and shake hands with the grip so your left hand thumb fits into the 'lifeline' of your right hand. At this point your left hand thumb is being covered up with the thumb pad of your right hand, with the back of your right hand square to the target.
5. Make sure that you grip the club firmly, but not too tight. If you feel tension building up in your hands, forearms and shoulders when you are holding the club, your are gripping too tight.
Many different grips have been tried over the years, but the three most common grips used today are: The overlapping grip, the interlocking grip and the baseball grip (or 10-finger grip).
