Developing a strong golf grip is under-appreciated in most golf fitness programs.
After all, the last thing you want is a white-knuckle “death grip” on your clubs.
However, you actually need to have high-quality, strong muscles in your hands and forearms in order to hold the club lightly, and still have a high degree of control and co-ordination.
Not to mention the fact that weak and/or chronically tight muscles in the lower arm have a direct impact on the rash of wrist and elbow injuries in the pro and amateur ranks.
There are several techniques and exercises that you can do to prevent injuries and get prepared to “Grip It and Rip It”.
In today’s video blog post, I’ll show you several tips and tricks to fit the bill (and not just squeezing a rubber ball all day long).

As usual, some excellent advice here. Thanks. You can also use the ball to work on the sore spots associated with golfer’s elbow. Generally, you will find 4 sore areas on your arm adjacent to the elbow, that if worked well, can actually eliminate golfer’s elbow. (Advice provided via a Japanese baseball team physio.)
Agree with Terry, good stuff. Today while at work I took the handle of a screw driver and rolled it on the sore parts of my forarms and near the elbows. I think we forget these small but very important muscles, tendons, and ligaments have to strenghtened and rested too, thus the huge number of people suffering from hand/forearm and elbow “problems”.
