I use interlock, and haven’t been interlocking too far, but I think I’ve been putting my right (trailing) thumb on top, so I’m going to ensure in future it’s off to the side.
Hey Randy! Not too much to the side right? You want to feel some nice support at the top of the backswing and in the transition and then all the way into the finish when the wrists re-hinge.
Hi Shawn, I’m a new premium member. Have tried multiple on line lessons. Re grip pressure and “letting go” release I’ve been asked to see Vijay Singh and Fred C’s right hand coming off the grip to teach us the holding a bird grip.. Can you please clarify?

Hello Sriram! This is very old and outdated teaching where if a player was hooking the ball the teacher would say hit shots with a very weak right hand because the right hand was too active. The problem with that is that the original cause for the hook was something completely different!! What was the focus just before they swung? Did they stay with the shot or did they blank out? What was the effort level? If you practice letting go or you have a weak hold on the club, then how is the club going to release your anatomy? Did you hear me when I talked about tennis or hammering nails or cutting down trees with an axe? I don’t blame you because of the brainwash golf instruction has brought and this is why I work so hard at bringing you back to WHAT YOU WERE DESIGNED TO DO AS A HUMAN MACHINE ON PLANET EARTH. See “snap release polish” and “target confirmation series” and “pre-motor cortex series” to understand how this works more.
I have some carpal tunnel syndrome in my trail hand (the left for me). Some days I can grip it firmly without a problem, and somedays it just isn’t possible. Is there something you can recommend to help with that.
Hey Ryan! The Jumbo Max grips have been known to do a great job with that; try one on one of your clubs first and then if that works well, do the rest; these are great with arthritis for those who cannot squeeze…
Shawn thank you for clarifying the grip especially the trail hand. Ive been playing 25 years and until now never truly understood how to hold the club. If my short practice today is any indicator this will be one of my best seasons yet. I have settled with the ten finger grip since i’ve all played baseball most of my life but was told early on it was bad and stayed away from it until now. Question for you though I saw the person before me ask about the ten finger is there anything I should look out for? Ive heard other teachers say it causes overactive right hand etc…I mean if Im hitting the ball at my target I don’t think there is anything but thought Id run it by you.
Thanks,
Mike
Hey Mike! ANYTHING THAT WAS EVER ESPOUSED IN THE PAST THAT CONSIDERED ANYONE DEFECTIVE IS A BUNCH OF HORSE HOCKEY. We are not defective, and our homework consists of delivering a task into a target well through the ball with the grip and set up that will allow us to do this the most efficiently and the ten finger, or 8 finger and 2 thumb, or baseball grip is EVERY BIT AS CREDIBLE as the interlock and overlap grips. Enjoy it!! 👌😀👍
Are there any benefits between baseball grip and overlap? I have used overlap but feel I would be more powerful with my right index to put pressure on the knife with a baseball grip. I have pretty long and thin fingers 🙂
Very much worth your while to try it out! Between the 2, there is no grip better than the other and it completely depends on the individual and their personal physical makeup.
