Shawn, loving your videos! I got away from the basics of grip and release and found myself trying to force power rather than let the club release to generate that much needed clubhead speed to compress the ball and create distance. My question is: How much grip pressure should be on the club? With my wedges and shorter irons my release is smooth with light grip pressure but when I try to maintain lighter grip pressure on longer irons and woods; I don’t make solid contact and it feels super weak. When I try to grip tighter, it’s harder to feel that full release. What are some of your thoughts on this? Thanks again!
Hey Andy! Sorry for the delay, crazy week transitioning to the outdoor set-up for summer, can’t wait to get outside and feel that warm sun on my face! 😀
the term for grip is SECURE; the pressure exerted is always on a reaction to the flight plan and the lie you are in; thick rough would be 7/10 where as 50 yard pitch is 4 and light chip going downhill on the green is a 1 and Driver 6/10
the tone for the grip comes from the forearms and when the club generates enough G-force, like a driver, you will be able to get it to snap release no problem; goldilocks the grip pressure in your practice and see what works in each situation; use the drill in the “important release update” video to keep the release oily in between shots out on the golf course if the release starts to sputter.
also, if the legs are too quiet because you are being too careful out there on the golf course, it can hinder the action of the release; see “turbo charge lead hand and trail hand release”( Mu went from ok golfer to long drive machine after those) and re-up on “feet together” and “feet together back to feet apart” videos which are massive for ground force reactions.
