- Golf Swing Basics - How to Hold the Golf Club Correctly
Danny Maude shows you how to hold the golf club correctly
Can a simple grip change help you to hit driver straight, stop your slice or strike you're irons?
The answer of course is yes!
I've seen slices disappear with one small tweak to a golf grip and just recently one of my students Beverley added 15 yards to her drive by moving the golf grip more into the fingers of her lead hand.
Now you and I both know that grip changes aren't going to work for every golfer, In fact there are some wonderful golfers that play with unorthodox grips but....and it is a big but, these players are rare.
The majority of the best players on the PGA tour or at your home club will usually have a very standard golf grip. Why? Because a great golf grip will help you:
- Square the club face and improve your impact position
- Help you use the wrists correctly in the swing
- Help you swing the club with much more freedom and therefore power
When things go off in my own game the very first thing I will go to is my grip. It's the simplest thing to change and although I know the change is going to feel a little uncomfortable, I also know it will be worth it.
So if you have time go and watch todays video. Yes the subject isn't as exciting as how to blast your ball 300 yards down the fairway but in my opinion a great grip can literally be a game changer.

ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On TH-cam and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

I'm 77 years old and took up golf again after quitting golf over 45 years ago out of frustration. I've taken some lessons and watched many online videos. I recently began watching your videos and they have quickly helped me. This video on the grip is simply awesome. Your style of communications, terms, examples and relaxed teaching style are superb, which in turns allow me to understand the many things I've been doing wrong. Its going to be a long journey for me, but your free instructions are helping me immensely. Tks/Steve.
Steve, I couldn’t agree more with your comments.
Danny,
Thank you! I just had the best range session ever. I was considering just playing three wood or five wood and living with a smaller slice but now I’ve got the feel and even hit a hook now and then!
Been waiting for you to discuss the grip Danny. I knew that you would really explain in detail and make it easy to follow... perfect! 😃🦘🦘
That’s great Chris, hope it helps
Danny, I just had to thank you for your video's. I only play 9 holes once a week and never go to the range. I watched your effortless swing video and how to hold the club. By changing my grip to your method I just shot a 45 for 9 holes. The week before I had shot on the same course a 59. That is so much of an improvement! Thanks, again Dave from New Jersey!
I’ve just started playing and this is the best communicator I’ve seen out of many videos. Thank you!
Very kind of you to say, thank you
I've been playing golf for 10 years and consistently shoot in the low 80s, but I have never felt comfortable with my grip. I have watched tons of grip videos and always thought I had a good neutral grip based on copying those. I tried what you suggested at 8:00 and wow I FINALLY feel natural swinging the club, like I can release the club head square without manipulating the club face on the down swing! How is it no other grip videos explain this concept?!?!
Great reminder of how important it is to grip the club correctly. I’ve been working on my grip since lockdown one because I just didn’t feel comfortable with club in hand. I went back to basics (GPS) and practiced a lot having watched some of your older tips for Senior golfers. My whole game has changed for the better and my confidence with every club is so much more positive. I’ve saved this video Danny so I can go back and check my grip regularly. I’d finally like to add that for me holding the club correctly has also worked wonders on my stance and posture. They all go together properly now. My whole set up feels so much better and I’m hitting the ball further and straighter with every club. Thanks Danny.
That’s wonderful Bob, thanks for taking the to time to share your progress
Thanks Danny, you are so right, we stress about so much else and probably don’t notice the club face and how it’s placed ready for a strike or how our hands are facing too. I will be mindful in future of this 💫
Absolutely Georgie, hope you are keeping well
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this video. I am taking up golf after a 40 year hiatus due to an automobile accident. I'm now 67 and have been having a terrible time hitting the ball correctly and getting a decent loft with a 7 iron. I watched this video and followed your grip recommendations which are not much different from what I was doing, but it was a great improvment. I also shifted my weight to my left side. With my swing, which is not very powerful, I made sure my hands were leading the head and I had a much better performance hitting at the range. I got good high hits which were going about 100 to 125 yards. Much, much better.
Danny, I don't often post, but have to THANK YOU for this video. I watch a lot of them and they are quite helpful, but this one in particular made a world of difference with my hits and golf game. I am crushing my drives, irons and woods like never before, and (more importantly) NO MORE SLICES!! 280 yard drives. Due largely to the "firm grip", as you say. Clearly, i was holding it wrong, (too open) and my set up was off. The firm grip on the left hand, square to the ball, and correct angle follow through was really what was needed in my game. Yesterday shot a 93 (missed a bunch of putts), but hitting more than half the greens in regulation was such a great success. - thank you so much
Clear, valuable advice. Remember to use the arrow or other mark on the grip to ensure your club face is
pointing correctly was a very important tip. Thank you Danny for a useful reminder.
Thank Alan, things we often over look
Hey Danny, I watched 2 of your videos, grip change and low point contact….went to the range today and your technique had an amazing impact on my grip, contact and distance. Thanks Tommy
Love your videos they make the most sense to me. Wanted to down load your practice plan but could not find it. The practice plans I find are a very valuable addition to your videos.
Fabulous tip re the position of right elbow when taking the grip.....saw that on earlier Danny video....tried it and instantly eradicated the slice.
That’s great Tony, thanks for the feedback
Complex biomechanics made so simple! This is about 10th video of yours I’ve seen, and the common feeling I’m left with after each of those is that how simple you actually make things in real terms. You are a master-teacher, if there is such a phrase! Thanks a zillion for your altruism, Danny!
Thank you Kapil 😁
I'm off to my golf club soon, first time back after five weeks of lockdown here in Spain. I've just been watching a couple of you're videos on the take away and down swing. Thanks for the grip tip I think I'll need all the help i can get today.
Just go and really enjoy getting back into it again
Thanks Danny ... Always a pleasure watching your videos ... Keep it simple and basic ... Cheera and merry Christmas to you
Spot on Danny! Can"t wait to take it out to the golf course to see if it can help me!
you are too good Danny, you really help to keep golf simple! thank you very much!!!
You are right in saying that a small adjustment in the grip can make a difference. I am a beginner, 63, and after watching this realized I had a weak grip. It seemed I was getting the same distance no matter what club I used, but after making the simple adjustment to a stronger grip I am getting some distance and direction. I am on my way! Thank you.
Excellent, detailed grip instruction. Thank you! I just now forwarded this to a friend.
Thanks for the great tips in holding the grip properly Danny. This is the technique that would be long forgotten, but most important in golf.
One of the best grip videos I have seen - clarity! Cheers.
68 year old trying to fine tune my game. Very high handicap. I plead guilty Danny! I am one of those who takes stance, spreads out palms and places club along the line. I can't wait to get to the range with correct grip. So many thanks to all your videos. I understand you.
This has been a god send!
I've had a 20year absence from playing golf. So it has been great to refresh and a real advantage finding your channel with these videos.
That’s brilliant
I started golfing 8 years ago coming from a baseball background It has been rough. I always forget how to position myself or how to control my swing. These videos are game changers! Absolutely amazing advice! Thank you for what you do.
Pleasure Nick, all the best
Yeah baseball is a huge handicap, wish I knew when I was a kid that I'd be bad at baseball but want to be good at golf
Hi Danny, Just wanted to Thank You for all you do... Firstly, your videos are great! Direct and to the point without a lot of fluff. Secondly, I started playing golf two years ago and when I say that I mean really taking it seriously, and last year I went from hitting... don't laugh... 120-130 to hitting in the 90's after watching your videos. The 90's weren't good enough and I was still struggling with my irons. Yes, studied more of your iron videos and got better but still wasn't good enough. Watched another video you made about hitting irons and this video about changing my grip; something I didn't want to do at the beginning of the season... The Results at the range last night were unimaginable. I am hitting my irons with amazing grace and the grip change is even improving driving the ball, straighter, and 20-40 yards farther. I can not thank you enough. Playing 9 holes tomorrow and can not wait. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing.
So wonderful to hear Richard thanks for taking the time to get in touch
It's Rob... not Richard... LOL
Great stuff Danny. Been gripping it all wrong !!! No wonder I haven’t improved ! Thanks 😀👍
I've dealing with that kind of issues, now I can fix it.
Maybe the best grip explanation on TH-cam. Thank you!
Pleasure Jose, happy to help
Such an important lesson for me!! Thank you Danny!!
Danny’s emphasis on the right elbow tuck position is extremely important. I for one can’t say enough about the importance of the right elbow tucked inside. This is invaluable in squaring the club face. Thanks again to Danny for making this point.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you summarize.
Always great stuff Danny. It's nice that you have the simulator for you lessons. Better than being out in the winter weather in England. Good stuff!
So good, it was pouring with rain outside. I’ve been able to start sharing videos on Facebook too because of the studio which is great
Excellent grip lesson. Already working sensational for me. Thank you, Happy New Year and Much Success Danny👍
That’s brilliant to here, thanks for taking the time to share
Best golf tip channel I’ve seen! Thanks for the help
Danny, if you are not a top 100 Golf Instructor...you should be and you have my vote. Your instruction is simple and makes sense, your explanations are understandable. I like that you provide the basics where it can be easily understood. Now, the grip was one of my problems, then the next is alignment. I always tend to align my body right and have difficulty where in the stance the ball should be between my feet. Help!!!!
Thanks for the support Ken, not too worried about rankings...helping you guys is all I’m interested in
Consistently great coaching videos Danny. Thank you .
Thanks so much Philip, really do my best for you
perfect thank you Danny amazing video as always
That’s really kind Fabienne, have a great weekend
This video, along with all your others, have transformed my golf game, and made the sport much more fun. Despite tens of thousands of golf video's on TH-cam, yours are the ones I focus on and learn the most from. Thank so much!
There are so many videos on golf that I think it actually impacts negatively on one's ability just concentrate on one coach Danny is great keep it simple otherwise you just going to get worse
Danny you are the best. Legend. I was so frustrated and had so much pain on my thumbs and you fixed it. Thank you so much🙏
That’s wonderful Joanne
I love your videos. You explain things in such a way that the working man who likes to play golf actually has a chance at doing well even if it’s just one shot per hole. Thanks for your simple instructions that are slow and repeated several times.
Thank you Danny. Solid fundamentals equals a solid golf game. You showed and stated the grip fundamentals perfectly.
Thanks for the support Charles
this guy is brilliant. great simple but helpful lessons. awesome!
Thanks for the support, really appreciate it
Always I learn something new. Thanks
I've always been told my grip was OK but I was "palmy" based on this video. Changed it - and it's made a huge difference. When I'm addressing the ball, now I make sure I can feel the club balancing between the index finger and the bottom pad. I waggle the club a bit to check. It's added a noticeable distance to my drives, I'm hitting my pitches straighter and I'm hitting the ball harder with more confidence. I can't believe such a tiny change could make such a difference. The proof - I won the Club comp for the 1st time in my life on Thursday. Can't wait to get out again today. Of all your trainings this, for me, is the winner. Thank you so much.
That’s amazing Rob, great to hear. Thanks for taking the time to share
I think that left hand grip tip is what I’ve been looking for for the last few years!! Thank you!!
Amazing job Danny, you are a great ambassador of golf!
Very kind thank you
I knew how to grip a club having played the game for more than 50 years and have always been between 6 - 10 handicap. But why had I started slicing? Then I saw your video Danny. NOW I know why and yesterday, second game out following your 'lesson' I hit my first competition hole-in-one (156m across water). Genius, Danny. Thank you.
That’s awesome Paul, thanks for taking the time to share
How can anyone give that a thumbs down, he's absolutely spot on! The best explained way to get a neutral grip and grip pressure I've heard.
Thanks for the support Matt
Another great Saturday with Danny. One can never get too many reminders on the basics. Today will be my last round of the season and I’ll be watching my grip and placement of my hands. I’m not sure if it was me or you, but I didn’t see any download link this week.
Where have you been all my golfing ⛳ life?! I had a great practice today. I just needed to make this slight change in my grip and I was hitting my Irons so flush. Thank you!
My pleasure, really happy to help
Thanks again Danny. These tips and instruction are certainly helping me rebuild my swing after my op (not that it was great before!). Because of left shoulder/pec restrictions I have about half a backswing atm (hopefully it will ease/increase with time). The tips aimed at seniors, which I am as well, really help give me direction.
That’s great to know, more tips coming soon
Excellent video, clear and easy to understand. Would love a lesson by this man. Many thanks
Thanks so much for the support Donal
These videos are a big part of my Saturdays now, especially when I've got some range time later :-)
Great to have you here Roli 👍
Danny, thank you so much for your work, instructions, and tips. It had help my game so much. Thank you.
You are very welcome Tony
Just started watching videos and have to say that yours is the easiest to understand. I Will subscribe and watch more. Thanks for the information
Thank you appreciate the support!
Another fantastic video Danny, thank you for making it. As always you do a great job of showing us via different camera angles what you are explaining to us. Color me silly however until this video I had not considered using that triangle on the grip to make sure that my club face was square. I have a lot of things to work on. Thanks again 👍🏿
All the best Frederick
Great video. Iv'e been golfing for years and revisiting the basics is beneficial.
Absolutely
Thank you Danny, another great lesson!
Excellent instruction! I love the tip about the index finger and pad.
Pleasure Zach
What a wonderful end to a terrible year of Covid-19, thanks mainly to your lesson on the Grip. I had 41-pts to finish 4th overall out of a field of 115 players and en6ded up winning C-Grade. My partner and I finished 6th overall in the 2BBB with 46-pts the winners had 49-pts and 43-pts in the Single Mens-Nett. My playing group have nick named me "Danny-Jay". I have mobility problems Left-leg Apputee & right-leg Quadrasept reattached. My playing partner "Muzza" was world-champion in the transplant games in France in 2003. He is well known in GB transplant circles and was the Austtralian Flag Bearer. Like me he has circulation problems in his leg and needs a cart to get around, I'm lucky that I can still walk the course. Danny, thanks also to your lesson on bunkers.
Amazing to read Jay, thanks so much for taking the time to share. Have a wonderful Christmas 👍
This was a good refresh lesson on the grip.❤
Hi Danny. Thought my grip was ok but my left hand was gripping exactly as you described with the club going though the middle of my palm. I just took your new grip to the driving range and wow! At first it felt like I had no power at all but after a few shots it really clicked and the club head took over. All of a sudden my shots were straighter and no loss of distance. Too early to declare victory but very confident this will improve my game. Thank you for the great content
That’s great to hear, thanks for sharing. Let me know how you get on next week
Nice. Best explanation/demonstration out there! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Dana, thanks for sharing
Once again Danny great video, and it has reminded me I must regularly check my grip.
Something that I forget to do at times
Another great video danny 👍
Fab tips Danny 😃 your video lessons have certainly helped my game 👍 thank you 😊
You are very welcome David
Great lesson- simple but very helpful.
Really happy to help Tom
First grip video ive seen that breaks down grip and what it does if you dont use a correct grip. Yet another amazing video! Your a saint danny and i mean it. Thanks as always!
Really kind thank you
Best explain ! very detail & completed, very helpful to fixed my grip
Glad you liked it Dicky
Keep the great information coming, Thanks.
Thank you Jesse, will do
Rotating right elbow in really helps. Great job teaching. Thank you so much.
Pleasure Chris, all the best
Greetings from Poland Danny, after my horrible practice today on a driving range I decided to look for some instructions for 60+ guys and subscribe to your video. I hope they will help meto regain more fun from golf :)
Danny I watched a few of your videos today and I like what your teaching. I subscribed.
welcome to the channel Marc
Great video as reminded me of a few grip fundamentals and corrected a few bad habits I have. Thank you
@JohnFranco that’s great. Glad my video has helped you. Thank you 🙏🏻
Brilliant, this helped a lot! 🌟 Been holding my club in the upper pad.
Thanks Helmer 😁
You are the man! Watched all 3 grip related videos was a game changer for me. Now using the interlock grip and hitting my driver as straight as an arrow. First finger and bottom pad to align left hand works great! Happy holidays Danny to you & family!
And you Michael all the best
Thanks Danny, new to golf at 57 and this really helps alot. Going to try it out today :)
Have fun
Morning Danny - Like the right elbow tip, mate! 👍
Thanks Paul, little tweak that can make a real difference
Very useful reminder. Thanks.
Happy to help Peter
Great video again. Love the tip on the right elbow.
Glad it was helpful!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much. I am brand new to golf and taking lessons and this video is helping tremendously. Did I miss the download? I do not see it in the description box.
Great work Danny, most grateful!
Pleasure, all the best
Best video on grip! Thank you
Thanks Leigh 😁
I have had this same process explained to me 3 times, however these pointers have made me realise fundamental mistakes I have been making. Cheers Danny
Pleasure Martin, all the best
Another great video Danny thanks
Thank you John, really appreciate it
Awesome Danny !
Thanks Ahmad, all the best
Love the tips very concise

This has helped so much! Thank you very much!
Great tips again Danny thanks
You are very welcome
Nicely done Danny, very detailed explanation. 😊
Thank you Stewart really appreciate the support
Amazing video!!! Work of my grip every single day. 😬😬
That’s great 👊🏻
Another great Saturday lesson 👍
Thank you Richard, very much appreciated
Thank you so much this has made and amazing change for me in a matter of seconds!!!
Amazing Dennis, thanks for taking the time to feedback
Agree. The tips about having the "V" of your grip pointing toward your trail shoulder are very helpful and easy to remember on the t-box.
This helped. Thank you 👍
That’s awesome Frank
Great tips and video Danny 👍
Thank you Martyn, very much appreciated 👍
great thoughts Danny thanks
Thanks Mark, hope you’ve had a good start to the weekend
And again a great tip👌👌👌
10 balls missed the green ;-) 9 in the water on the screen behind you, last one 67 carry. Thanks for that it did make me smile.
This year I had to get my ball retriever regripped.
For me and my grip it is best to have only light pressure with both hands using only the thumb - forefinger and little pinky.
Thanks Danny for all you do.
I recommend your YT to the lads.
I am still trying to reduce my Neanderthal swing were my neck and shoulder tension cause a head up to see a bad shot.
Love it, have a great weekend, thanks for supporting the channel
