Everyone, stop, look again – This is so very important if you want a consistent strike of the ball! If you use a strong grip – give some thought to making sure that the grip you need to use is reflected in your grip – if it is inconsistent – could be the grip going on different directions to the club head! Shawn explains it better – look at Sav’s grip –
An aha moment. Right handed golfer. Was trying to put pressure on middle knuckle of index finger instead of bottom knuckle. What a difference. Went from constant loss of control to full control.
Ooooo; thats sounds like a winner to me!!!😀👍🔥💥
Can I get a clarification on something….Part 1 says that the lead hand should hinge and rehinge with the thumb supporting the club underneath. On this video, it says that we should support the club with the separated index finger of the trail hand. Just a bit confused.
It is both!! 😝😀👍
Shawn,
When we grip the club you mentioned we should have 3 knuckles showing on the left hand. If we close the face a bit and then put the club square to the intermediate point, then we go to a stronger grip.. Is that correct? It seems like more knuckles are showing when we square the club face.
Correct! Apply the acid test by letting the swing release into the direction you want to start the ball and see how the ball flies; if the pattern is to satisfaction, you found the grip; if the ball flies with too much curve either way, adjust by removing or adding a knuckle OR by opening or closing the clubface.
Hey Shawn. My biggest problem with the grip is that at the top of my backswing, the bottom of my hand (so below my little finger, the part of my hand that is the highest on the club) gets loose and lifts up, and no matter what I do to try keep it tight on the club I cant. I either focus on it too much and then hit a terrible shot because my focus isn’t on the task at hand (cutting grass etc) or, in trying to not let it happen, my hands and arms get too tight and then I cant swing freely. When I look at my glove it is worn way down at that exact point, at the bottom right of my palm. Any tips/advice for how to keep the base on my lead hand on the club?
I have a couple of videos for this on youtube: see “no more collapsing arms shawn clement” and “stop letting go shawn clement” as well as “stop destroying your glove shawn clement”
Let me know what does the trick for you!
Shawn
