What about chip shots or shots under 50 yards?
Do you find by laying club on the last life line in fingers on lead hand and near the base on trail hand works best?
It should be the same grip as the full swing; very solid through the hands exactly like the grip and grip part 2 videos on premium.
For years from countless instructors we have been taught to grip the club diagonally into the middle knuckle of the lead hand. It was from your grip videos that I started gripping it at the base of the fingers you know like a suitcase. I will test logic thru trail and error. Over the course of 3 days I hit hundreds of golfballs using both methods. The results are eye popping astonishment. Don’t believe it test it for yourself. I have seen numerous instructors draw that line diagonally with a perminate marker onto a golf glove. I am absolutely 100% convinced that was b.s. I am compressing the golfball like never before. Thank yinz all. Great work
Brilliant comment! Great way to goldie locks the grip!🤛💥👍😀🔥👌💪
In the video you close the face and take a neutral grip. Then at address as you square the club face the grip becomes a super strong grip. Are you meaning to demonstrate how to get a strong grip or are you saying that’s how you would get a strong grip rather than taking a strong grip on a square club face. I know that closing the club face does work doing if this way. Just a little confused.
See the first video on the “consistency series” Videos on premium! Super visual there!
Yup 1st video is what I needed to know. It’s such a unique way to get the strong grip in a swing setup position. It works.
This along with “Swing too Fast?? Rushing Downswing..”, took me over the hump. For the first time in years I can fell momentum, “levitation” at change of direction, release and acceleration towards the target with any club, every time, IN MY PRACTICE SWING. Above the ball I go right back to rushing and trying kill Mr. Callaway. I can’t seem to stay with my target or the feel with any consistency.
I know you address this in many videos but if you had to pick one, which would it be?
Alright! Time to dig a bit deeper!
You made a nice practice swing; you scootch into the set up with the ball, you predict that if you deliver your unstoppable momentum in the direction you want to start the ball, you will not only cut the stem and compress through the ball but the ball will leave on the right line and curve the way you want it to.
Then what? You forget everything at hit the ball?
Yes. It’s the transition from the backswing that completely breaks down. Even when I properly complete the backswing and can feel the natural pause, instead of allowing the weight and the body to “get out of the way” my hands drop down to hit the ball. usually the ground first.. Seems to happen as a reflex. I can’t keep any of the rhythm i establish with the practice swing or drills. Looking back at the swing, I realize I lost focus on the task at some point but can’t tell you when that happened.
Hey Paul – if ever I get a little uncertain about transition I think of 2 Shawn nuggets
1 Outa the way, Outa the way – as in you are moving one side of your body (Hips, shoulders, arms, hands, club) up to the top of your swing – like heaving an axe and then reverse (IE Lead side then trail)
2 the other “feel” is throwing the club to the target in the same way you could skip a stone or throw a ball. If you have never tossed a club in your practice swing (in nets) it is an amazing drill/fell for me.
My warmup starts with baseball, then 30% effort to build speed, then throw club at target before i even hit a ball! Good way to psych out your mates too!
Right on Marc! Did not get the reply in my emails from Paul on this one for some reason. Paul, check out “target confirmation series” videos and we have a great video we are uploading tomorrow on the 6th part of our off season training which is all about staying to the end of the kinetic chain.
Great video!
Is there a link to the video « Swing too Fast?? Rushing Downswing»? I am unable to find it. I also seem to go full samurai when I am hitting a ball as opposed to a practice swing. 😄
Never mind, I found it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ERdMP_Yum9w
