  • A strong grip is one of the most detrimental things you can do to your golf swing. Quite shocking I know because everyone thinks that a stronger grip equates to more power,
    More distance, better strikes and it's what the pros do. I'm here to tell you, not as many pros do it as you think and having a strong grip is actually going to rob you of distance and it's one of the most detrimental things you can do for power. injuries to your wrist, things like tendonitis. And if you struggle with a slice, you might be looking in all the wrong places when in actual fact, your grip is causing you to slice the ball into the trees.
    A strong golf grip is also going to cause flipping, which is really going to affect your ball striking consistency. It's also going to reduce the height that you hit the shots, which is going to rob you of distance.

    The only thing that really controls the club face are your wrists. And we need to start learning what it is to control that club face so we can get it square more often while the body, the torso, the shoulders, hips, all have an effect on how we deliver the club.

    You won’t believe how happy I am for listening this warning… every golf teacher I had lessons with asked for this strong grip. For me it is impossible; I have arthritis what makes difficult to turn the arm.. thank you! I’ll keep my weak grip and certainly I’ll enjoy much more my game the way it is!

    I started playing golf a year ago at 48 years old. I thought I had a nice relaxed grip, stance and generally easy swing and then I let everyone get inside my head to change things. Now it's a mess.
    This video helps me go back to how I felt in the beginning. Thank you.

    I used to watch videos of Dustin Johnson who is one that has a significantly strong left hand, and eventually I noticed how incredibly an athletic he was, because he was able to hold that angle through impact by moving/opening his body so aggressively. I quickly realized that was not possible for us mere mortals. CZcams instructors that teach this are not doing the “weekend warriors” any service. There’s a reason why Pro golfers from the 60's-90's used a more neutral grip. They weren’t the athletes that some of these modern pros are, who are able to generate centrifugal force with their body. For us mere mortals, it has to come from the hand and arm, which can only come from a neutral grip. Cheers Elliot on a very important lesson.

      It may seem strange and look to upper lead arm being internally rotated and below elbow externally rotated at set up. This does not mean locked or super tense. This will help it feel less alien in hands I wager

    I have recently adopted the neutral grip, and I'm hitting the ball much better. Only downside, is club coming loose in the swing from trailing arm...2405

    every coaches let me change to stronger grip from neutral. I feel more confident until I watched this video. Strong grip is really uncomfortable when I swing and hinge the club , furthermore I have to learn the “shallow “to force my arm can return the set position.

    How was Moe Norman’s grip? If you hold a hammer and you want to hit the nail down you swing down. If you want to hit the nail in the direction you want it to go you need to turn the handle. If you swing down you’re going it go over the top.

    I don`t have a strong grip, but I was told I need to have the grip more in my fingers, I guess I am a little to much palm, so that is my task this year, let the club lay more in my fingers.

    So basically our ideal grip is one in which if we were hammering down it feels the most natural?

    Well, I have to say there was nothing simple about that video to follow all those steps. I’d be turning my swinging inside out. Not saying you’re not right, but I am saying it would take me a whole off-season to implement after using a strong grip for so long.

    • @chrisrainger6578
      @chrisrainger6578 Před 2 měsíci +2

      If I may, that statement is a belief. If you believe you can’t do it, you won’t. The question should be, how do you learn this (if appropriate for you) in the shortest possible time and in a way that allows you to play this season. Again, not meant in any way to patronise, just highlighting a way of thinking that might help get better outcomes

      @OMG-2 Před 2 měsíci

      @@chrisrainger6578 well you are correct that commitment is key to success in a swing change but taking a swing change like this to the course and expecting immediate success is highly unlikely. Committing to a change like this is neither immediate or simple which is alluded to in the video by recognizing some of the pitfalls (“it will go right or pull left”). A grip change, as mentioned, sets up so many other swing changes that it must be implemented gradually with practice to achieve the desired result, something I would prefer to do in the off season
