Some of our worst golf shots come from too much grip pressure. Make sure your hands are not tense when you hit a golf shot. Take a practice swing and practice the proper amount of pressure to use. Then, when you address the golf ball, maintain that same soft grip pressure throughout the swing, and certainly for when you impact the ball. Players tend to squeeze too tightly as they approach impact. If your muscles are tense, you will have poor results. Make it easy on yourself, by keeping your hands soft when you swing.
