  • The grip is the primary and most important part of a golf swing, so we start our journey here. The club is a lever that is activated and supported by the hands. The grip needs to be such that the hands allow the free motion of the club. The club's inertial motion and path mustn't be impeded or restricted by the motion or position of the hands. The club must be able to flow freely. In order to accomplish this, the club must be gripped in the fingers, with the hands on top of the club.

    I haven’t tried putting these tips into practice yet but I can already say this instruction helps us new players understand the physics behind what we’re trying to achieve. Other videos say “hold it like this, not like this” without explaining why. This video makes sense and I can’t wait to try it. Also, I’m a left handed player and it’s easy to follow your instructions because you’re facing the camera and that’s how I would see myself when looking into a reflection. Easy to mimic. Thanks for the tips!

    Excellent video. I decided to get back into golf after a few years away. I’ve never had any formal instruction, but recently, while on the driving range, had a fellow give me advice on my grip. When I’m standing with my arms at my side, the back of my hands face outside, not forward. The proper grip of a club for me is not easy and has even changed my swing. I have had a few miss hits and my score has gone up, but I like the result of my shot when I do connect. I am confident I will get the hang of it and improve my game from the way I used to grip the club.

  • @christopherfranklin8517
    @christopherfranklin8517 Před měsícem

    I am so glad I stumbled upon this video. Parallel palms which seems so common in golf instruction videos didn’t always make sense to me since the arms don’t fall like that for me either.
    Funny story, years ago I was so frustrated with my swing after hitting one on one a par3 I randomly put my hands on the club like this video describes and proceeded to hit my third shot inside 8 feet to save bogey.
    For whatever reason, I never stuck with that gripping style.
    Great video, going to hit some backyard balls with the wedge now!

    Yup, this is all solid stuff. I know enough about the swing to know this is more Hoganesque stuff than Nicklaus stuff. I think Hogan developed the best swing ever, with Moe Norman right there. Other greats have written books, but their methods aren't as solid as the simplified version of the Hogan move. Alot of teachers try to teach the pro move but that isn't a good method for most physically challenged amateurs. Tom Saguto, Steve Johnston, and Jimmy Tropicana are the best teachers on the internet IMO, because they teach a very simple method. Mike Malaska and Milo Lines are awesome teachers also.

    Hi Artemago. Just discovered (and subscribed) to your channel. Some fascinating instructional videos. I've been working with a coach in England for about 9 months on ground forces and your EXPLODE video really resonated. I also love the lever concept, something I've never heard of before, and believe me I've had a lot of golf lessons. Do you actively engage the left (lead) hand in the downswing to use the lever? Makes more sense that using the right hand which generally leads me to flip it. I've tried it in the yard, without a ball, and found that I find the low point more consistently when I do. I can't wait to try it on the practice ground.

    • @Artemago
      @Artemago  Před měsícem +1

  • @NannyOggins
    @NannyOggins Před 6 dny

    Its good to see someone spending so much time on the grip. I have found that this aspect of golf has caused me more trouble than any other.
    You seem to hold the club quite low on the handle is that deliberate or just how it happened on the day ?

    • @Artemago
      @Artemago  Před 6 dny

      Gripping it low puts the fulcrum point closer to the club head. This makes the club lighter and the lever shorter. For all of my approach shots of 150 yds or less, I grip it short for more accuracy. Distance is not sacrificed too much, and the gains in accuracy are massive.

    Thanks a lot for doing this. Fantastic stuff.
    I stopped playing golf, when the kids came 10 years ago at hdcp 12. I just recently started again and would love to revamp my swing, cause I had huge problems with it back then. Is it a good idea to do the drills in your swing course separately for each video and then try to put them together in a full swing or should I watch all of the swing videos and then try to memorize it all in one drill? I always had the problem of overthinking my swing, so I would love to build healthy habits throughout each phase of the swing. What is your recommendation? Right now I am actually just hinging and unhinging as you suggeseted in this video. When is a good time to implement drills from your second and third video?

    • @Artemago
      @Artemago  Před měsícem +1

      I recommend doing these drills and making swings as often as possible without hitting a ball in order to ingrain the motions you want to make. I take swings at home in front of a mirror to be sure that I am moving the way that I want to move. The more you make the desired motions off the range, the easier it will be to implement them on the range. This is not to say don’t practice hitting balls, but to practice your swing just as much off the course just making the movements. Remember to be patient with yourself and just work on 1-2 things at a time. Taking slow motion video of your swing when you do hit balls will be helpful to make corrections. And start with smaller, slower, partial swings (pitches) to build a strong foundation. Be well!

  • @seanconcannon7922
    @seanconcannon7922 Před měsícem

    Really enjoying your lessons.....however I am unsure about one element of the grip.......do you wrap the fingers around the club like you would if you were using a hammer with a slight feeling of squeezing or do you just place your hands on it with no pressure at all?

    • @Artemago
      @Artemago  Před měsícem +1

      Light pressure, just enough to keep the club in place. Squeezing causes tension. Tension limits mobility.

    Probably the best explanation I’ve seen on how to use the club properly. I feel like my right hand is barely on the club when I hinge back this way with this grip. I could completely take off the thumb and pad so there’s a gap between club and palm and just be holding with that 1 finger on the right hand. Then close that gap when we unhinge. Is that correct? Hope that makes sense

    A swinging lever is probably more accurate. The entire club length needs to be swung in sync and on plane for consistency. The actual lever action is very subtle and the full release happens later than amateurs usually envision. I tell my friends to focus more on the swing because I know they're thinking lever because that's the natural inclination. When the takeaway is horrible they've already forgotten swing and are starting the lever. That's generally the inside snatching move. Dead before it started. Most problems I see are with a lack of understanding on the concept. A golf swing is unlike any other action. Some say hockey but not really. Good luck buddy.
