I find that hooding the club at address and having my hands neutral (effectively the same as a strong grip of course) forces me to take the club back with my left (Lead) side in my backswing, and then it forces me to swing down through the ball with my right side and my right hand staying in lag position on order to not hook it. So the hooding forces me to really feel that I have to keep that lag longer and not release early. It’s honing the feeling of holding off on the release until I’m through the ball and then also releasing out to the right more. It’s great fun when it works. Great contact and picking up an extra club length.
Now, can you do a video on the angle of attack. I feel that the reason I’m still not getting enough compression to get the distance I should be is because of the angle I’m coming into the ball. Even at my best hits coming through the ball I can only carry my 9 iron 135yds draw. I’d like to get 140-150 out of my 9.
Your thoughts?
Your timing is perfect! You will see that video in the next week!

Shawn I’ve been working hard on this and the draw was giving me fits. I was lining up parallel to my intermediate point playing the ball back, getting behind it and still having issues for the ball going right on me and hooking even with a strong grip. Once I started lining up To the right edge of the intermediate point (another golf ball) by draw started getting much tighter and not going right. I guess I kept thinking I need to aim right at my target for the draw and expecting a push draw but this doesn’t work for me consistently.
Maybe it’s my anatomy being slightly different or the way my mind sees it but for me to draw back to target I must aim right and draw it back.
The Perpetual motion drill helped me feel the release so much better. And along with the alignment change I wasn’t hooking the ball.
You are the perfect candidate for the “diagonal stance series”. Go check that out asap!
This video is gold Shawn, good job 🙂
I’ve always found golf grips ridiculously small compared to a tennis racket or a baseball bat. Bryson Dechambeau uses huge grips (XL size which is +6/16 whereas Midsize is +1/16) from the company jumbomax. Without going to extremes like Bryson, using a bigger grip could allow you to gain in feeling by holding it more in the palm but without create the famous space that makes the club float usually with a smaller grip.
What do you think?
Actually no; Bryson is an angles guy and missed the memo on leverage in the hands; what is important is the security of the hold and the ability to compress the juice out of it; now that Bryson has gained his mass, this is helping big time. Moe’s grips were bigger but surprisingly way less than you would think and when Natural Golf came out with their grips, he would still come back to his leather wraps that fit his hand best.
does this power grip and set up the same for shots under 100yds,
On full wedges and draw pitch shots, yes! Fades and Flop shots as well as bunker shots we open the face more but keep the same flavour in the set up as we are still moving THROUGH THE BALL AND TOWARDS THE TARGET.
Thank you for this video particularly…Even though I have always had a strong leaning grip, this explains even better what I am doing wrong as I was not getting “through” the ball to my target. I had, overtime, begin to stop swinging through to the target and more at the ball itself. Going out to try to correctly swing as instructed here.
Awesome post! Get out there and have a blast!
