The proper way to hold Lady Hagen T3 golf clubs is similar to the grip necessary for all golf clubs. These clubs have a very forgiving clubface and highly flexible shafts, so some minor adjustments are necessary to ensure a player can hit the ball as well as possible for her skill level. The key components of holding a club properly are finger alignment, hand position, grip pressure and maintaining balance.
Finger Alignment
The proper grip for Lady Hagen T3 golf clubs starts with the fingers. All golf grips--no matter if the grip style is baseball, interlock or overlap--must start with the club being held in the fingertips and well out of the palms. This provides for proper rotation through the backswing and eventually through impact with the ball. Grasp the club by using the middle joints of your fingers, and make sure the club is well away from the lifelines around your palms. This can take some getting used to, so practice assuming the grip until it becomes second nature.
Hand Position
The second element of holding Lady Hagen T3 clubs properly is to position your hands correctly on the grip. These clubs come with distinct alignment aids on the grips in the form of white painted lines. Use these to your advantage. In any proper golf grip, the V shape formed by the thumb and forefinger of each hand must point directly to the right shoulder (for a right-handed golfer). Use these alignment aids to set the club properly in your hands every time.
Grip Pressure
The Lady Hagen T3 clubs are similar to standard iron sets in that each club must be held properly, with the correct grip pressure, in order to rotate correctly and provide optimal contact with the ball at impact. According to PGA Golf Teaching Professionals guidelines, the correct grip pressure is 3 to 5 on a scale of 10. An effective comparison is to imagine holding a newborn child; you want to grip the baby securely, but not so tightly that you suffocate it. Tension is a problem in any golf swing.
Balanced Approach
Golfers find as they approach the highest levels of the game that holding the club properly at address is vital for consistent shots. Golfers should let their arms hang naturally from the shoulders and create most of their bend toward the ball from the waist, trying to keep a perfectly straight spine angle. This address position allows a player using Lady Hagen T3 golf clubs to exert a powerful swing on the ball.
