Is there a video on elbow positions in the backswing
Hey Brian! You bet! See “football drill series” and match that with “grip and arm motion”
Hello new member here, looking forward to your teaching / coaching videos. I am an engineer by trade and love the mechanics of body and the swing and appreciate how you break things down. So…. my question is…. With the grip, interlock, my lead hand middle finger, center knuckle gets sprained (lack of better terms) after coming thru the ball, I can say I can feel my grip break down at some point after contact and come back, but that is when the tweaking happens. I don’t know if I am releasing incorrectly or what (but this is why I signed up for your videos). But the issue is gone when I switch to 10 finger and grip tighter (stronger than holding a bird). But when I do this, I don’t feel like my wrist hinges….because the forearms are tense. Hope that make sense. Thank you, Ortho
Secure grip is always a winner and you are hinging! You are simply not COLLAPSING the wrists and grip; send me a clip face on and down the line of the swing with the 10 finger grip and a picture of the grip to [email protected] (this goes for all who have questions about the grip)

Hi Shawn, this grip has as you said added 15 yards to my swing on the range. However, I note that I am prone to pull hooking when I try to go for more. What would you suggest is the issue?
Thank you for the fantastic product!
See the “Kinetic chain series” and the “kinetic chain engagement” series;
when you strain in the swing, you ruin the timing of the action and one common misfire if the pull hook.
Greetings Shawn – I thoroughly enjoy the videos, it has replaced my late-night television viewing. I am one of those “hold it like a bird in the hand” guys and relied on a timing release and snap of the wrists at the ball. Since making adjustments based on your modeling, I definitely see the benefits and believe this is the way to go, and believe it to be the way I used to play when I was younger.
As invariably I fall back into a weaker grip, my question is it “ok/preferred/beneficial” to hold the club straight out hip high at address, adjust my hands to a “neutral grip”, tilt the clubface down 45 degrees, and then assume my address position by tilting my body (and arms) back to a clubface square to target position?- this then has the effect of making a strong grip. or is it preferred to have a square clubface at address and rotate the hands to a stronger position?
BTW, bought a grass whip this weekend, you need to warn others of the amount of grass you accumulate on your back before returning to the living room (as per the wife.)
Lol!! Talk about a grassy back! 😝😝😂😂
As for the grip, you can do club face or you can do hands or somewhere in between! What matters is the ability to load the ACU easily in the backswing so we can whip sling swat through to the target. As for how much to close, see “the goldie locks series”! 😀👍
Hi Shawn – i just joined Premium today and great stuff so far. Question for you on the grip – my thumb on the trail hand feels much better when it’s on the grip like the lead hand versus wrapping it around – do you think this could cause issues? – thanks
Great question! Not if you can gather a nice hinge and get a full release of the club in the direction of the target; see “lead hand release” and “trail hand release” and “snap release polish” videos to acid test it!😀👍
