*How SIMPLE?!! Control your grip, control the golf CLUBFACE ✅. I use this exact swing thought all the time now*
I wouldn't worry if there was a line on my grip at all. Hell...I'd wear a clown suit if it helped me hit the ball straighter. 🤣
HHahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahhahaha man i just laughed so hard. Me to
Right? Put a pink pompom on top of my driver, with a candy cane stripe… I’m not proud, I’m a slicer. Yesterday I sliced one OVER the net at the range, onto the fairway on 2. Foursome whipped their heads around like “wtf, where is that coming from?” Naturally, I nonchalantly retied my shoes and played it off, certainly wasn’t me.
🤣
@@DZNTZ I enjoyed that story. Thanks bro! 😂
Would have loved to see you hit 3 shots: 1 with thumb on left, 1 with thumb on centerline, and 1 with thumb on right to show the difference in ball flights.
Great vid, mate.
These 5 minute lessons are amazing. Every time I'm out on the course I am incorporating more of your lessons into my game and it has been a life changer. I am in a weekly golf league on a 9 hole course currently first place in team, I'm carrying, and first place in individual. I have been playing just over a year and keeping pace with 10+ year veterans. I can't thank you enough. I am going to try this lesson today. I'm trying to catch up on all of your teachings.
I watched this while I was on a break from playing golf due to the birth of my twin baby girls. I finally got out again to play on Sunday and today, this was an amazing video drill! I hat dead straight drives 250-280 drives hitting about 85-90% of the fairways!! Thank you Alex!!!
I started gripping my club like this back in August, I thought it might neutralize both hands from being too dominate, I was right, it worked, and I've never hit my irons, better, longer, and straighter. Listening to other people/teachers is good, but there is nothing better than experimenting for yourself, and once something works very well, don't listen to ANYBODY ever again. Do what works for you!!
Love this video on this grip, Alex. Extremely well explained! 👍👍💯💯🙌🙌👏👏
I just went and hit driver into my net in the backyard, which I have been working on hitting more consistently and this WITHOUT A DOUBT helped alottt! Thanks!
So many of your videos have helped me and it's great that you show errors rather than just the fix. Helps us realise if it's actually the problem or not. Thanks mate!
This is the best video on over the top swing and how the fix it. Thank you very much
You're welcome!
Yet another awesome trick to help out a 100+ player here! Maybe a next video could be a quick "check list" of all your best tips to go through for a perfect hit. Grip, alignment, swing ect. Anyways, love your videos, so glad I found your channel.
Good idea!
You didn't discuss how you highlighted the line you did--what is it lined up with and how did you line it up?
Been hooking a bit, tried this and couldn't stop slicing! Awesome! Thanks very much!
🤣
I have recently returned back to playing golf . Your golf videos have helped work out some details of the golf swing. Thanks for sharing the great information !
Thank you! Something else to try. Too many problems to correct at one time, so this will be first tip to try as soon as the snow gets off the course.
Excellent point to be aware off.
Great Tip!
I'd use the marking on my grip as a guide to align the club face in relation to my palms as I have a neutral hold on the golf club. I have played for over 20years on-and-off having 24hc often hitting the green or fringe in 2 on a par 4 and subsequently fumbling around the green with another 4 strokes to hole it for a double boogie
I will be trying this for sure! Have a merry Christmas everyone.
Great tip .. wish I had seen it before my last round but will give it a go next time
Great tip @AlexElliottGolf
Thanks for sharing 👍
I would use anything to straighten out my shots, thanks for the tip. If it works for Tom Watson, I am all in!
Really simple concept 👍🏻 Nice one Alex🏌️
Thank you for another very clear helpful tip.
Just here working my way through the back catalogue of your golf vids 😂
Haha i love it
@@AlexElliottGolf The practice Mizuno now has a sharpie line down the grip 🏌️♂️
Thanks Alex! Now I just need to get out of winter in NY to get back out and practice this lol
I know right!! Tough time of year!!
Thanks
excellent so very helpful.🖐🖐
Excellent stuff. Possibly the most challenging part of playing golf to get right because it feels so awkward to hold this way and requires trust that it works.
Thank you so much!!! I hope this helps
You
I almost always put my top thumb down the center so I will have to try this. I would definitely be alright with having a line on my grip. I would be alright if the grip shocked me if I wasn't holding it properly
This works...
I’m going to start spring hitting. And yes I’m going to mark on my clubs. I’m a slicer.
I did that with my grips! But instead of a Sharpie I used a box cutter. I slice everything now, heck now I even lose the club and I even slice it as it flies in the woods.
So happy i found you on CZcams , as a biginner i don't have all the knowledge of most of your followers but it's well explained, thanks your really helping someone,,,,me 🖕
Happy to help!
The only think that isnt clear is how to determine "center of the grip." Is it with hands forward, bottom of the iton parallel to ground, club put on the ground entirely and draw lane parallel to thr ground?
I already do this which is why my long irons go dead left on my misses lol I have to either open my stance, aim right or purposely remember to weaken my grip or hit a fade on longer par 3s say over 150 or I’ll miss left
so when you are placing your hands, the leading edge is square to target, right?
Rotate align grips one eighty. Your thumbs will be on the club correctly. This actually works.All of a sudden you will have a good grip. Now the rest is up to you.
I’m going to try this with an older driver.
Facts
It effects ur face to path relationship.
This definitely is a problem for me. This will help with my had position for sure and also grip power
Let me
Know how this works!!!
@@AlexElliottGolf sure will
Thanks Alex. I have a very strong grip, particularly my right hand. Find it easy to chang to neutral until I have to take a swing and it feels wrong, so I always change back. Any ideas or is it no pain no gain
Happy to help!
Same with myself. Once at address it feels wierd and I slide right hand back to strong
It's hard to teach touch because the differences are very subtle and feel can change by very smsll changes. Feel in the grip.is everything
What’s the line lined up too?
where to put the line in relation to the club face? or top of the head? or bottom of the head? middle of the face? if that's off, it's all off, no?
Great point and I was thinking the same thing. I have to assume it is aligned with the leading edge of the club face, but it would be nice to not have to assume this.
I don't understand why my amazing athleticism doesn't allow me to do what I want.... my problem is that my big frigging irish head holds me on my back foot.. if I have it tilted away from the target in my backswing .. completely screws up my balance and ability to move forward after my backswing. But when I remember and tilt it towards the target on my take-a-way .. all is good .. until my grip screws up my impact .. so thanks AE .. good video .. just in the ( St. ) nick of time.
Do you use thumbpad.
I don’t no
If you hook/draw the ball, would you just do the opposite?
Strengthening the grip will often help that. I've even done that with just the bottom hand. That can really help eliminate those terrible hooks. Work on it though, you do want to be acustomed to the feel of a new grip to make it truly effective.
Have they quit teaching that you should point the V's of you thumb and fore. finger to your back shoulder?
This grip looks a lot like Ben Hogans grip and he was a pretty good golfer.
Temu Jeremy Renner 😅
My pro plays with 2 thumbs down the line and can whoop all of us, just sayin
Sooooo…..you have been slicing the ball all these years and your a course pro…..come on bud let’s pull up on your thumbnails a bit and just say to your community that you have been experimenting and researching and you found something that suits you….good man
Had a hair cut ?
You're already using a draw stance. Simply align the groove formed by your index finger and thumb of both hands to point toward your right shoulder for a right hand player and the left left shoulder for a left hand player. Take a square neutral stance.
Another good tip! I'm going to draw a line right away!! 🏌
This is just straight out of Hogan's five lessons book.
Absolutely i love it 🙌🏼
@@AlexElliottGolf be nice to credit Hogan in my view.
