Your Finger Print for your golf swing

Q & A with Dr. Anthony Kell and Jim DeLaby, PGA...

AK: Jim, You know, some golfers are being taught to just grip the club and rip it. Not to even worry about the grip. Now what is your input on this?

JD: Well, I like that concept. However, very few golfers can actually grip the club naturally and rip it. Some, very few, can naturally find their finger print for what their golf swing is (or what I have coined "Grip Print"). So most are grabbing incorrectly and unnaturally. That is why each person has to find out to make sure what their grip print is so they can just grip it and rip it, as the saying goes.

AK: What about those molded grips, do you think they help? I mean are those good training aids?

JD: Well, you know, yeah. There's different training amongst teachers and myself. I really like the idea of the molded grip. The problem and as you are now fully aware of, Anthony, is that the molded grip is someones grip print... so I hear it all the time = "Well at least its a good starting point" Well, its going to ingrain that designers grip print for the rest of your career. It's going to be very tough (although for me personally now it only takes a few hours to grip print and make it hold)tough to get out of it. I actually can now make a custom fit mold of each of my clients for them to take home. And every mold is unique!
