Two grips?

[alex.parker]

Slightly odd question, but I had a driver specific lesson with a pro. We worked hard on my grip and ball position and it cured the slice. However after the pro had gone I got the irons out and tried to hit with new grip, was rubbish so I went back to my old grip for the irons and the new grip for the driver. Does anyone else have two grips? Not sure whether to continue using two grips

Which one does your pro say you should use? Also, changing grip is difficult and you should expect to struggle at first

Well I've booked in for another 6, so I presume we will continue to work on the new grip he a given me. However (not saying they are perfect) my iron set up wasn't broken and I was enjoying my golf. Going to have to have a chat with him tomorrow. Was just wondering if anyone else used two grips

Not heard of this before TBH. Only time I have heard of a different grip is the one that Pete Cowan suggests for bunker shots. Certainly not for irons,woods and driver etc

Sounds like a big mistake, I'd talk to the pro.

It generally takes quite a time to get used to a grip change.

I used to interlock only with the driver. now its baseball with everything do it, if it works for you !

 

[JustOne]

I use interlocking for my driver, interlocking OR overlap for my irons and reverse overlap for my chipping, pitching and bunker shots

Just gone to reverse overlap for my putting after using a 'pencil' style grip for a couple of years (and might go back to it soon).

I'm complicated - and so are the scores I shoot :angry:

Are the grips on your irons the same as the grip on your driver ?

This is something I've been thinking of after a recent change back to my original grip, both interlocking

Original grip - more accurate with irons
Newer grip - more consistent with driver

The only real difference between the 2 grips is that on my original grip, my thumbs are perfectly in line but the newer grip sees my right thumb move left giving a more pronounce V shape on the front/visible part of the grip

 

[alex.parker]

I had a look at some diagrams and it seems I'm using a neutral grip for the irons and he was trying to get me to have a strong grip for the driver. I'm gonna play today using this two grip method and then have a chat with him tomorrow at the next lesson

With Clubgolf junior golf coaching you call rubber grips handles and hand grips holds to avoid that confusion!!

I tend to grip my driver with a stronger grip, everything else with a very neutral grip. Works for me as most of the trouble off the tee where I play is up the right so guards against this.
