One thing I noticed recently is when I have been in a situation where I have missed the fairway and felt the need to grip it very hard in order get through the grass and to be able to hit a proper shot, I have hit fantastic shots with both power and very accurate. So yes for me I definitely need to work on securing my grip. 🙂
Boom!! Yessir!! 💪🤛👌👍😀🔥
Update on grip pressure: now I’m about a 6-7 out of 10 and trail hand pad pressuring my lead thumb on club. Showing about 3 knuckles on lead hand. Laying the club on my lead hand on my last life line , then having thumb slightly to more on the right side of the club. V pointing to right shoulder and right ear. To my amaze my driver has pick up swing speed and ball speed. Maybe not being too loose on trail hand of a 1 grip pressure is keeping me more connected and not being too loosely of swing.
Only problem I’m having is making sure I do the secondary tilt and keeping upper body not so tight . I tend to make my body tension the same as grip tension.
It’s all about having the “TONE” to accomplish the task. What would the body tilt look like when driving a nail through a door frame and what would grip pressure be? See “hammer drill” video on premium.
I came back today and reviewed these grip videos. I played Saturday and was really in the zone. My drives with the unstoppable momentum, arc, blur were all firing. I had actually increased my grip pressure which was helping. Then all of a sudden I hooked a 5 iron on a three par. I think I might have relaxed my grip – I felt the wrist snap come through early, and hooked it 20 yards left of the green. Is that consistent with what you are talking about? Also, I find that I’m getting good contact off the tee, even with my irons, but often in the fairway, my approach shots are thin. It’s like I’m afraid to take a divot – cut the dandelion stem. Any suggestions?
Hmmmm; thin shots-hooked shots when you miss. Now, when you do miss, can you tell me what the actual focus was just before you swung the club? Did you see “pre motor cortex” and “target confirmation series”?
Thank you shawn for this video. I know you’ve always tried to find creative and unique ways to “communicate” truth to your audience. It is encouraging to see that you recognize that it can still improve and that we all need a reminder to take what you teach and “apply” it to our own situation. To try and understand the intention of what your teaching and not the literality of it. I wanted to encourage you to continue to challenge yourself to further clarify “pitfalls” or potential “areas” of misinterpretation that you see come up over and over. Perhaps even a series that reflects on the all the nuggets you’ve shared and the areas where you’ve felt the most people “miss” the intention
In my own adventures, I’ve realized that grip pressure actually kind of varies by hand. I play right handed, and for me my left hand or “lead” hand, has to have a grip that is on the firmer side. My trail hand can actually be a little lighter, a little more “supporting” as long as my lead hand is secure. I would say if I grip to a 10, it’s too much, for me a 7-8 in left and a 5-6 in right seems to be the ticket (especially when chipping).
Ultimately, I just wanted to thank you again for all the time you spend. I appreciate that your always putting in effort to try and “get across” your point, and I hope you never lose that passion…
Great feedback, thank you so much! No way I am slowing down, going to turn it up another notch man!!😀👍
I will keep improving my ability to communicate; you guys keep those minds open and we will make a sweet music together!
Hi Shawn – it’s been a while since I’ve been on the channel. Great to see you and sav together. Last year, we had strengthened my grip pressure. I find that my left hand is always holding the grip with less pressure and my right hand is the one I tighten. I’m keen to see what happens if I tightened my left hand d grip pressure. My forehand in tennis is better but I always find easier to hit the center of my racket in my backhand. So sounds like I real should be holding stronger with my left hand . Makes sense?
Yes!!! Please clamp down on that lead hand big time and enjoy! Moe talked about drawing blood in that lead hand!
