Grip

1. The handle portion of a golf club, made from various materials including rubber, cord, or synthetic compounds, designed to provide secure hold and optimal feel during the swing. 2. The specific manner in which a golfer holds the club, including hand position, pressure, and finger placement. Proper grip is fundamental to consistent golf performance, affecting club control, swing mechanics, and shot accuracy. Understanding grip options helps golfers find techniques that match their hand size, strength, and swing characteristics. Professional instruction often begins with grip fundamentals as the foundation for swing development.
