This is one of my favorite explanations of the new grip. I have been trying the strong grip and my left wrist,(I swing right handed), was strained because my right grip was strong and my left hand was not in the right position.
This grip takes the strain off my left wrist and will allow the release of the club with the left wrist.
Right on Kevin! This is huge! So glad you are figuring out one of the most important aspects of the set up and swing!
I really like the feel of lead and trail hand release swinging the sword. It feels great when I do them individually. What breaks down is when the hands are together. It just does not feel like the hands work together well. I don’t get that yield feeling with the lead hand that allows the trail hand to slash like when I just have one hand on the club. Any suggestions?
You bet! See “release fine tuning” and my favourite is “snap release polish”! 👍😀
As always, an excellent and easy to follow guide! Pete Sampras???? you’re dating yourself! Keep up the good work.
He is a very cool dude! 👍😀
Could you describe a little more about grip pressure as club shaft approaches and reaches top of backswing?
Sometimes I find a battle between 3 elements: getting club shaft horizontal (ish); while not feeling that wrist cock is limiting range of motion to reach that goal; and grip pressure at that point in the swing. I find a tendency to loosen my trail hand grip pressure, to create (or allow) the club shaft to droop enough. Which I suspect is a speed leak. I get “tone for task” when it comes to grip; but applying in dynamic movement a work in progress.
Don’t know if it’s related: over time, I develop regularly a nickel-size hole on bottom corner of lead hand glove.
Thanks.
Hey Don! What you are describing is a classic case of IMPROPER GRIP with lead hand; see my specific youtube videos called “stop destroying your golf glove shawn clement” and “5 ways to grip with lead hand shawn clement”
Super. Thanks.
Shawn, when did you switch to LA Golf shafts and why? I thought you were a steel shaft man.
Hey Pat! Have not used steel shaft in driver in a while! Getting old buddy!!😝😝😝
the LA shaft is pretty spectacular to be honest; it’s between that and the Tensei White 75 gram shaft in 44 inches long.
Just another case of senior CRS. LOL Been hearing a lot of good things about LA shafts. Can’t wait for the next installment in this series. My biggest problem with the driver is on tee boxes that aim you directly at the trouble (i.e the woods) totally messes with my head. I know where to aim but my body wants to swing perpendicular to the tee markers instead of down my toe line.
This is when the “alignment reload” video comes in super important! Must watch!!
