Hitchhiker Position for the Interlocking Grip

Posted by Golfer on January 29th, 2008 at 12:00am

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.
