Learn how to improve your golf swing  with the correct golf club grip. Look this free instructional golfing video lesson.


 

1. Hold a club in the playing position.
2. Ads by Google Raise the club to between waist high and chest golf grip size high. Remove your right hand from the club (this is for right-handed golfers). If you are left-handed, just reverse the hand described. Maintain your grip on the club with your left hand. 
3.  Turn the club so that you can see your fingertips. Take special care not to move your hand or over squeeze the club.
4. Observe the middle, ring and pinkie finger’s relationship with the pad of your palm. Your fingertips should just be lightly brushing your palm pad. If there is a gap, the grip is considered too large. (The only exception would be if you have arthritis, then you would need the larger grips to alleviate pain.) If your fingertips are digging into your palm pad, the grip would be considered too small.
5. Measure the grip at a point that is 2 inches from the grip cap end with a vernier caliper. This gives you the decimal grip size; then you can use the chart to determine size. If the grip on your club is too big, you’ll need to use your judgment to determine how much too big the grip is. If your grip is too small, continue to step 7. 
6. Use masking tape (or you can use cloth tape) to build up the grip's size. Then repeat steps 1-5 until you create the proper size. When you reach the proper size, repeat step 6.
