Mistake #1: Treating Your Grip Like a Handshake (Why 79% of Golfers Fail Here)
Let's get real – you wouldn't drive a Lamborghini with bicycle handles, so why sabotage your swing with a lazy grip? PGA research shows 4 out of 5 amateurs lose 18+ yards before even swinging, all because they ignore these pro secrets:
The 3 Finger Rule That Changed My Game
✓ Power Control: Lock the club in your lead hand's last three fingers (where 83% of tour pros generate lag)
✓ Pressure Points: Squeeze only middle fingers on trailing hand – your thumb is NOT a steering wheel
✓ Palm Position: Heel pad should cradle the grip like holding a baby bird (not crush it like a beer can)

DIY Fix: Try our 7-Second Grip Check before every shot:
