Baseball or 10-finger Grip
This is a great grip for beginner and junior golfers and golfers with small hands. Place the left hand (for right-handed golfers) at the top of the grip of your club. Place your right hand on the club below your left hand. Align the thumbs of both hands down the shaft of the club.
Vardon or Overlapping Grip
This is the most popular grip used by professional and amateur golfers. Place the grip of the club in your left hand. Rest the small finger of your right hand in the space between your forefinger and the middle finger of your left hand, positioning both thumbs down the shaft of the club.
Interlocking Grip
Many professional golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods use the interlocking grip. Place the grip of the club in your left hand. Now take the little finger of the right hand and interlock it in the space between the forefinger and middle finger of the left hand, making sure both thumbs are aligned down the shaft of the club.
