It is important to have grip strength in order to maintain the angle of your arms and clubs or create lag on the downswing that allows you to strike down and take a divot.  If you tend to top or hit thin shots, you may not be holding the “angle”.  Getting stronger in your hands and wrists will help you create lag and clubhead speed and hit solid shots.

To create more power and control your shots, try this grip strengthening exercise:

Grip Exercise -Wrist and Hand Rotation with Club

1. With your arm extended, hold a golf club by the grip end, pointing the clubhead up to the sky.
2. Slowly rotate your wrist so that the club drops parallel to the ground.  Hold position for a moment and return to start position.
3. Slowly rotate your wrist to the opposite direction.
4. Repeat this exercise for 8 to 10 repetitions.
