So how strong or week your grip is depend on ball flight? And also as long as it’s a tight grip where things are not moving around? My grip was sort of neutral but I really like the feel of a stronger grip.. now it’s a matter of not snap hook it.
Have a look at the “predict contact” and “the goldie locks” series; then see “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning”
Important details about confirming that you have fully released through the ball and out into the picture before you can make any modifications to the grip-club relationship!

Hi Shawn – Taking your advice to revisit the grip… question: I have been using the standard grip that you teach (using the acid test)… how will I know if I should be using a strong or weak grip?
Not strong or weak; just how closed or open you need to hit the shot! See “fade fine tuning” and “draw fine tuning”
All right, but I don’t sée how we can have a strong left hand grip as you recomand on your last vidéo with thé thumb on thé top of thé club, and not lateral.
The thumb is slightly to the inside as you will see with the bonus video we are uploading today on premium to back up Savy’s grip and all who have and need a stronger grip. Stay tuned! 👍😀
Bingo!!! “Your hand is going to seek its natural position (through impact).” That resonated with me. It is a real important foundation concept.
This video on grip explained where my nasty hook came from. My grip at address looked normal but I had grooved a slide into a strong grip on the takeaway. The thumb was supporting the club. I had muddled ‘getting behind the ball’ into changing my grip. No matter how well I swung the club through the ball that sucker went HARD left. It drove me to extremes to keep the ball in play. (opening the face, swing right, hang onto the club, change settings on my driver … gosh I tried everything)
On the same night, I also happened to watch your video on the practice range with Matt. You mentioned “driving range rhythm” and how that induces one to “red line the engine”. Guilty as charged. You said to basically reboot the swing by dropping Strain to 2 out of 10 and Speed to 5 out of 10. Second Bingo!!!
Needless to say between these two tips I had an AMAZING practice session today. The hook was totally gone and contact was quite solid. I actually started to work the ball which is a mega jump for me considering where I was. The sad thing thing was losing a season to simple flaws. Ouch. I am writing to share that there is no substitute for seeking the help of a professional. Don’t waste precious time. Also, it cannot hurt to roll through the video library either. 😉 Thanks for this.
So much fun to learn; I could hear and feel your “aha” moments throughout this comment; really cool! So happy you joined us and continued “aha” moments this off season to you! Shawn
Hi Shawn,
I’m a new member and I love your content and teaching style. Question – what causes my knuckles on my lead (left) hand to hurt for days after playing golf. My right hand is fine.
Note – I’ve had this problem before switching over to your grip recommendations but is still sore even now.
Take care!
That is not normal at all; please see these videos of mine on youtube and send me a picture of your grip with the lead hand to shawnclement@me.com
