I haven’t thought about my grip in years. It grip used to shift around on me, but I’ve followed your instructions and it doesn’t move, except for my left index finger (I’m a right and interlock my grip). There’s a small gap between my index finger and the knuckle of my pinky on my right hand. During my swing that left index finger comes off the knuckle when there is little to no force, and squeezes the knuckle when there is force. I haven’t noticed it until now. I don’t know if that’s from a faulty grip or if that’s just what happens with interlock grips, but it gets annoying when all I’m trying to think about in my swing is “throw the club to the picture.”
Hi Tyler! Sorry I missed this question! I just noticed! How is your grip now? Does it feel solid and have you resolved the issue? Shawn
I watched the most important grip video ever. This is what I feel like I need to do. Make a neutral grip with a closed face, set up over the ball and line the face up to the target by somewhat closing my shoulders to the target allowing me to swing out and release out to the right promoting a draw. This gives more power because it helps drive the club through by being more anatomical correct in the hands and arms. Does this sound right? It feels like My shoulders are lined up more right of target when I do this.
Very good Harry! And no worries about feeling the closed shoulders, they will feel this way compared to what you are used to but they are way less closed than you feel. Remember the hammer analogy and set up with a hammer to a door frame and feel how natural it is! 👍😀
Played 9 holes on a little par 3 course, longest hole is 166 yds. I worked on my grip making it a touch stronger and lined as mentioned in my previous comment. It seems that this grip makes me pull ball with draw bias flight. I was missing left side of the green consistent . . I played 3 balls each hole and 2 would miss left. Now this greens are all 15 to 20 feet wide (small) with the biggest 25 but most holes are 80 to 120 yards long. So not terrible misses but not where I felt like I was aiming. How can I dial this in?
Good! This means that your club face is now closed enough and that you can start releasing to the right of the intermediate point. The problem is that your side vision is telling you that it is too far right and this will cause you to bail and pull left. This is why the “arc-blur unstoppable momentum series” is really important and please search and watch all the videos that relate to “alignment” on premium!
I have a question about grip club relationship. I take a neutral grip with a closed club face but when I set up to the ball I rotate my wrists to square the club. I notice you get behind the ball to square the face. I have a problem trying to draw or even hook the ball because no matter how much I close the club face I rotate my wrists to square it up. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Marcus! What you are doing is fine; you will eventually gravitate to what I am doing; see the “most important video on grip ever” and then see “lead hand release”, “trail hand release” and “snap release polish” videos to make sure you are not “guiding the shots” and that you are fully releasing the shots.
Thank you! One last question. Do You put shaft lean on the club when you close the face or is the club shaft centered? When I close the club face I only hit low straight shots. I can hit straight fades and fades but not draws. It seems my right wrist dorsiflexes when I close my face. Thanks again.
See the “most important video on grip ever” video and you will understand how the body accommodates for the task at hand! 👍😀
Shawn, ive heard you mention jumbo grips. I dont have huge hands but ive always wondered if they were worth trying. I really struggle with a secure grip when i swing a golf club but not when i swing my grass whip. Worth a try?
You mean the wood handle grass whip? Hmm, definitely worth a try then; get one on the 7 or 8 iron and see how it feels!
Great video, very good demos. I do get a little confused on having a strong grip and body lean angle. They must go together, correct? My local golf pro never corrects my grip so I am assuming it must be okay. However, since I’m such a new golfer I’m not sure if I’m getting t he most out of it. It’s crazy that folks criticize Savi’s grip, I do everything I can to emulate her swing except hit lefty. Thanks again for another great video.
Thanks Marisa! What are your tendencies with your golf misses?
