Under Posture and Grip
Some people may have trouble using the interlocking grip. One common mistake people make while using the grip is misplacing their thumb. Many people feel comfortable with their thumb resting on the side of the grip or bottom of the grip, but the fact of the matter is that is wrong. Your thumbs should be resting on the top of the grip.
If you have this thumb misplacement problems, I have a little trick you can use. Just pretend you are hitchhiking. Your fingers should be in a fist, but your thumb should be pointing up. Now, try to do this on a golf club. It should get your thumb to rest on the top of the grip. So just remember every time you are setting up to hit your shot, get your hands into hitchhiker position on the club.

There will come a time when you need to replace your golf clubs grips. I personally do this once a year. And instead of paying a golf shop a lot of money to replace my clubs grip for me, I choose to do it manually. Follow these simple steps and you will replace your grips in no time.
1. Remove the grip from your club. I suggest using scissors just to get it started for you, or possibly a knife. Make sure all the tape and any residue is cleared off the club.
2. Get some strong, double-sided tape and wrap it around your club from the top of your club, to where the new grip will end.
3. Put a small piece of duck tape, and place it over the small little whole on the top of the grip, not the open side.
4. Pour some solvent into the open side of your new grip. Make sure the solvent gets all around the inside of the grip.
5. Add some more solvent to the club on top of the double-sided tape. Try to make sure almost every spot is covered.
6. Remove the duck tape from the top of the grip, and slide the grip onto your club. It will take around 8 hours to dry, so be patient.
Hope this helps you for the next time your clubs grips need replacing.

The interlocking grip is the most commonly used grip for golfers. It is not too hard. To do the interlocking grip, for right-handed people, wrap your left hand around the grip at the top of the club. Then, when you wrap your right hand around the grip directly under your left hand, interlock your index finger of your left hand, with the pinky of your right hand. For left-handed people, it is the complete opposite. Wrap your right hand around the grip at the top of the club. Then, when you wrap your left hand around the grip directly under your right hand, interlock your index finger of your right hand, with the pinky of your left hand. Then for both right-handed people and left-handed people, just make sure that your thumbs on both hands are running down the grip, not to one side or another. I hope my explanation wasn’t to complex. Please comment to tell me how this grip has worked for you.

The ten-finger grip is probably the best grip for beginners to use because it is the most basic. It’s very simple. For right-handed people, all you need to do is put your left hand wrapped around the top of your club’s grip, and your right hand wrapped around your grip directly under your left hand. For left-handed people, it is the complete opposite. Put your right hand wrapped around the top of your club’s grip, and your left hand wrapped around your grip directly under your right hand.

Posture is one of the most important things in the game of golf. When you are setting up to the ball, make sure that you are keeping your back straight while you’re hovering over the ball. In other words, just don’t slouch. Then make sure that your knees are bent a tiny bit so you can get in more of a comfortable position. After those basic steps, you are in proper position to swing.
