How strong is your grip with driver now compared to the irons? What driver and shaft are you swinging?
I have the Ping G-410 plus LST in a 9 degree, and brought down to 7.5 degrees; the shaft is a Tensei Orange in Stiff flex; super easy to swing!
ok thanks. looks like your grip is quite strong; as I said over at the recent Youtube video, I can’t seem to get a very strong grip to work with the driver or 3w yet. Perhaps it just requires more practice.
Remember how everyone is different there; you seem to be doing well with what you have! What matters is when you release in the direction you want the ball to start that the ball behaves in the air the way you wNt it to. Then if needed, you can make the adjustments.
well I am just taking note of the difference between irons and woods because very few can outhit me with irons, but I am just average with the woods., I haven’t been able to use my iron grip and setup with the woods. Of course with driver it is also teed up and forward in the stance, that is one key difference. Perhaps I should move the ball back in the stance like with the irons. I have noticed that some tour players are playing the ball back, esp. John Rahm.
Take a look at this video:

I only loose about 5 to 7 yards in normal conditions and have driven over 300 often!
Shawn, been working on my driver plane. If I swing with a more upright plane, I feel that I can keep the ball from slicing or hooking much better than a flatter arc. That is, my misses are straighter. However, the release feels more complicated to achieve. That is, my grip and backswing have to match just right in order to get the proper release. Feels great once I get it…but it doesn’t come as naturally as a flatter arc. I’ve been trying out the extremes to see which I like better. A little Goldilocks if you will. Extreme upright, and then extreme flat. It’s really cool to play around with it. Then I try to find something right in the middle. Seem to get the best result in the middle. But it’s crazy how much the grip affects the release. It’s so crucial. I’m really trying to fine tune my prediction process because as we all know, we only get one shot at it on the course.
What you are in the process of doing with the driver and goldie locks is super healthy and will bear fruit!! Can’t wait to hear about the results! Shawn
Yes, it does require some work. It certainly did for me. For me it was my left hand that wasn’t releasing and holding everything up. So before I swing I do a several sword slashes until I feel my left hand really snap over and release. Once I get that snap feeling, then I’m ready to hit balls. Then it’s just a matter of getting everything set up so that I can predict a good, free snap of the left hand. If my grip is off or my backswing plane is off I can “feel” it because I can predict that I cannot release my left hand through the ball. When everything is right, I can feel the snap before it happens. I encourage you to really over exaggerate it at first. Once you get it, you’ll realize that everything else just supports that release…grip, setup, distance to ball, swing arc plane. It’s all there to support the release through the ball to the target.
Hey Mark! Wow, how sweet is that! You really get it! I cannot add anything to what you just said and Wisdom has definitely entered your golf my friend! Congrats big time!
Happy New Year Shawn! Me and my golf buddy decided to try stack n tilt after a few bad rounds of Wisdom! WE ARE BACK! Just needed a refresher looksee! To make sure I stay with you I purchased a full year premium membership! You are stuck with me Buddy!😂😂😂
Welcome back William! We will get you to that next level of performance and JOY! I am right here for you guys and so is Savannah now too! We are having such a great time! Shawn
Hey happy new year!
On your release you really turn the club over (right hand over left)
Is this a concious effort or just happens naturally?
Hey John! Never a conscious effort but for many, it requires a little bit of skill training and acquisition if you have never felt it before. If you have played ping pong, and use spin, and hockey or baseball, you have this already in spades! See “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” and “release fine tuning” videos on premium; super key!!
