I have always had a fairly good Grip. After watching this Video, I believe I will have a GREAT GRIP. Thanks so much. Take Care. [email protected]
Shawn,
I always felt that I had a sound grip, but I would grip with my left hand under the club (I am a left handed golfer). Over the past couple weeks the first knuckle on the left ring finger became very sore. I started to review your grip video’s. I found Grip it Like Cameron Champ. You make a comment about how both hands should hinge together. The next time I hit balls, while addressing the ball I focused on settling up and making sure that I always feel that my hands can hinge up and down together, so no gripping under the club with my left hand. The first thing I noticed was there was not pain in my ring finger when I hit a ball. But I also felt very lined up, and ready to swing, and I started to hit the ball solid with much more compression. I never will over look my grip again!
Awesome Scott! What a perfect comment and the way I envision our students seeing and then feeling and then applying to their actions; just fantastic and my hat’s off to you for your breakthrough!
Shawn
Hey Shawn, that was a great video. I’m one of those that keeps regripping because I feel the V has shifted. This has helped me not do that. Yet to see if it works. Awesome explanation.
The key is to see it through; see what happens to the ball flight when you grip it a certain way and stay with the shot and throw the club in the direction you want to start the ball; that way, you learn!
Thanks Shawn. My lead hand is strong (at least 3 knuckles). My trail hand is neutral (very similar to your knife grip – where i cant interlock my pinky anymore and my pointer is separated slightly).
If the back of my trail hand will be parallel to my strong lead hand, i will end up with my trail hand “underneath” the club and i release with this super strong grip, then ill just be hooking it all over right?
Haha, that is what you think! If the interlock is not cozy enough, switch to overlap;
Then the key is to deliver the action of the swing well past te ball (through the ball) towards the direction you want the ball to start! You need to KNOW if you you are fully releasing past the ball. Then see how the ball flies.
Interesting you mentioned “where you want the ball to start” as my pro is also drumming it into my head that I should pick an intermediate target and he wants me to ‘start’ my ball just right of that target.
I am confused though on what you mean “if you are fully releasing past the ball” – meaning my lead hand is now underneath my trail hand after impact (forearms have already pronated after impact).
Yes,this sounds proper; see “all about the release” on the regular channel
Hi Shawn,
How can we tell if we are too “neutral” already with the trail hand?
Thanks,
Sandy
Interesting question! If the back of your trail hand is parallel to the back of the lead hand, and the lead hand is strong enough, we are good! Both hands should be able to hinge together like of you were to cast a fishing pole with both hands on the club.
May I send you a picture of my grip? I saw some of your youtube videos that you advocate a strong grip for the lead hand – and I do have this already – always held it this way. The only correction I was asked to do was to make the trail hand more neutral.
Sure, go ahead! [email protected]
