Here are the three ways to hold it⬇️

1. Ten finger grip. All ten fingers on the club, pinky and index sitting right next to each other. Simplest of the three and great if you’re starting out or want more feel.
2. Overlap. Your trail pinky rides over the top of your lead index, tucking into the space between the index and middle finger. Most common grip in golf and it keeps the hands working as one unit.
3. Interlock. Instead of riding over the top, the pinky and index lock together. Popular with smaller hands and players who want the hands fully connected.

No grip is the right grip for everyone. Try all three and see which one lets you hold the club light and still control the face.

Still slicing it? Your club face is wide open at impact.
The fix isn’t a small tweak. You have to overshoot first.

1. Rotate the club face closed, then turn it back to your target. Your hands move clockwise about 90 degrees
2. That’s a strong grip. Now make your normal swing
3. If the ball hooks left, good. That’s the proof your face can close
4. Now back the grip off to the middle, between where you started and where you hooked it
5. That’s square

The hook isn’t the goal. It’s the checkpoint. You have to feel both misses before you can find the middle.

11 years old. Mic’d up. Full send. 🎙️⛳️

A behind-the-scenes look at what junior development actually looks like at Perform for Golf.

Aryn Noelle is 11 and already outworking golfers twice her age. She’s been training with our swing coach Dylan Smith in San Rafael, and we mic’d up her session so you can hear the reps, the coaching, and the small details getting her ready to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open next year.

Every junior we coach gets the same thing. Real training, golf-specific fitness, and an actual plan to get better.

This is where it starts. 💪 if you are interested, dm us to get started

Your pre shot routine might be the most underrated part of your game. Here’s how to build one that actually holds up under pressure. ⛳

Every routine looks a little different, but the best ones share the same three building blocks:

1. Set up your spot. Find level ground for your feet and the ball, and steer clear of old divots. A clean, balanced setup is the foundation for everything that follows.

2. Lock in your practice swing. Behind the ball, off to the side and walk in, wherever feels right. What matters is finding your rhythm before you step up to hit.

3. Visualize the shot. See your landing spot, the roll out, and how the wind is going to play. It only takes a few seconds, but it turns a swing into a plan.

The secret ingredient is consistency. A routine only works if you run it every single time.

So here’s the challenge: next time you’re out, do your pre shot routine before every shot. Tee shot, approach, chip, all of it. That’s how it becomes automatic.

Can’t shift, can’t swing. It’s that simple. ⛳

Weight shift in transition is one of the most important moves in the golf swing. It’s what lets you bend, twist, and jump off your lead foot in the right sequence. Skip it and everything downstream falls apart.

Here’s how to train it:

1. Set up on the downshift board to feel the lateral move
2. Start your weight on your trail leg (right leg for righties)
3. Shift laterally into your lead leg as you transition
4. Let that shift trigger the bend, twist, and jump in sequence

Rep it slow until the shift feels automatic, then take it to the range.
