Changing your grip

[NorfolkShaun]

Why is it so bloody hard?

Have been having some lessons and we have decided to try to change my grip, i have always had a grip that is little messy and strong with the bottom (right) hand.

Dam does it feel weird trying to swing the club with my new grip. Played tonight baring the driver and three wood where i have been having a bad time anyway the shots are really good but it just feels so wrong.

Any changes you make to your set up or swing will always feel a bit weird at first!

Thank me later, used it a few times on the range with the 7 iron, then when I took it off it was pretty ingrained.

Changed mine about 6 months ago from Vardon to overlap. It seemed strange at first but just seems natural now.

Changed from interlocking to overlap years ago, that seemed odd at the time

Very good shout. When I changed my grip I put it on an iron and just gripped and regripped the club while watching TV until it began to feel natural. Kept it on at the range to hit balls. Worked very well

Just re read my post and it should have been 'swapped to interlocking'.

It feels odd for a couple of weeks, then it's OK. Just hang in there, and practice all you can.

I got myself one of these to try but it doesn't readily go onto midsize grips, so if you use midsize (or larger including extra tape layers) I would suggest using it on a spare club or something.

Do 15-20 mins a night holding the club in the new grip, more if you can.

Do it while you watch TV and check or regrip on the ad breaks.

Wont take long to feel natural.

I used this when learning the grip and learning a new putter grip. Still have the same grip 5 years later and always told it is good.

Well Jake later is now, this is such a handy bit of kit. Thank you

Really starting to get there too, well worth the pain of trying to change

Is this design for interlocking only or can you use it with an overlap grip?

I overlap and works perfectly for me, as mentioned though it is tight to get on a normal grip so anything a bit fatter may be tough

Thanks for that 👍🏻

Crazy how good it is for the price. I use it now when changing other aspects of my swing to make sure my grip doesn't start slipping back around.
