Slammin’ Sammy Snead is one of the top 5 golfers of all time. His smooth swing and prolific winning record demonstrate that he should never be overlooked when discussing legends. I stumbled across a video where Snead talks about his grip during his golf swing that I found very interesting. So much so, that I think it is worth sharing.

Sam Snead was asked a question regarding the greatest error made by amateur golfers. He quickly stated the golf grip. I would tend to agree with Snead as the golf grip impacts most other aspects of our golf swing that include the take away, the swing plane, lower body movements, just to name a few. Ensuring we have the proper golf grip will create a strong foundation for a great golf swing.

I have tried many different variations of golf grips, but settled on the interlocking neutral grip. It works best for my game and allows me to swing freely with all my clubs. If you do not know which grip works best for you, I suggest you experiment to ensure that you are using what works for your game.

Here is a good overview of the different grips:
