This is a really good method. A lot of people dryfire wrong and don’t crush with their support hand. Then they do live fire, it goes bang and they tense up their trigger hand after the first shot. And everything goes low left.

I really thought this was gonna be a gimmick based on the title but man did this ever clear up the issue for me, thank you, actually really good advice.

And today 30k more apples and banannas were sold in the US! Good stuff! appreciate the content!

I think we need to stop calling it a “support” hand. It should be called the “control” hand. When you say something is “support” that makes it seem secondary and not as important.

Good fresh look at this topic!

Thank you for this. If understand the primary takeaway, I should deadlift with an empty bar in a field and be sure to eat fruit afterwards to enhance hypertrophyaccuracy.

This may be the best video I've seen on firearm grip explained in a such a simple way

It's stupid how GOOD this advice is. This entire time I've struggled with inconsistent groups and performance is BECAUSE I was crushing with my primary hand. And meeting with equal pressure by my left hand. Bless the Zen of you guys.

ok super cool, My background is in neurophysiological training and this use of fruit is what we would call a feedback system. A great way to enhance kinesthetic learning and hebbian plasticity.

The playing with the hands had me. My wife tells me to put my hands down often. On the grip journey and everything you mentioned is just so true

This was an outstanding and very clear explanation of proper grip. Great video. I am excited to try this.

Sweet Jeebus! I've been shooting for years with the emphasis on crushing the gun with both hands. Accuracy has been reasonably good but not always consistent. Transitioning to my first red dot. Been pouring over vids to help with that. Hoping this gives me an edge as I begin my learning curve. Great info. Thanks!

Such a great video! Clear, concise, and a nice refresher

Awesome video! Love the training progression!

This sounds fruity as heck. Then again a fruit salad is delicious and good for you. Thanks for showing us a unique perspective.

This is a GREAT way to explain the breakdown of the grip! Thanks!

This video literally helped me diagnose my shooting problem as a new shooter thank you so much

Outstanding video! Great explanation and a great demonstration of why it’s so difficult to master. The brain does not like our hands to do different things at the same time.

Very interesting take on this, thank you !!

I do this subconsciously, but it was great seeing the actual breakdown and explanation. Will def share this.

Thanks, Tenicor

Thanks for the video!

Great info time to practice

AWESOME! 😊

FortNine style cinematography. Fantastic vid!

This was the best

Great explanation! Thank you! I think Tom Spooner gave you props on the Sean Ryan show.

Solid advice, it was fairly intuitive to me when I started going out of my comfort zone and shooting too far, because I noticed my sights dancing around Do you think you could demonstrate the difference in practice? Like shoot a group with and without that method, possibly showing how recoil changes too?

Thank You

Excellent tutorial. Gonna do this. Subbed.

Well made video; I’ll give it a try.

It's not the same thing, but this reminds me of when I had to train myself to steer and shift gears separately. At first, it was strange, but eventually, I could shift gears and steer without either one interfering with the other action.

You could have stopped at the VHS lmao, but the editing was great!

I’m go try this now thanks

Almost every time the firing hand is explained it is only focused on the web of the hand to grip high but the position in the hand can vary a lot without another index point. Centerline of the pistol follows the center of the forearm. Hold it up and look at it. The backstrap's width is fully packed with hand meat (have an index point at the bottom of the backstrap) and there is no open triangle at the bottom of the backstrap like this \| (lower right corner of the backstrap open, hand shoved around the grip, often from a holster close to the body without enough space to get the hand in the right position). Tim Herron has a great video on this aspect. I like the fruits, definitely will need a few. Have the Banana in line with the forearm. EDIT: A hard blackroll massage ball is a good stand in for a granny smith. It bruised up quickly and was eaten.

I don’t have a gun because I’m not yet of age but I love watching videos like these for when I am. Can we see what your accuracy is like with the banana apple grip for comparison to your previous groupings?

You should have had the wiggles apples and bananas song in the intro. Good stuff.

Please start shipping to Europe. Your holster was the comfiest holster I ever had and I could conceal g19 np. Now in the summer I wanna carry g43x it is impossible to get your holster in here

Excited to try this out. How would any of this apply to a one hand grip? Maybe banana grip + a little extra feeling for ripeness? 😄

This must be why women are good shots

Where am I supposed to hold the second Apple?

Problem is, I don’t naturally crush anything with my support hand in daily life.

I know you pre-cut that apple, jeff

I really love Glocks. Great video. What you’re saying really makes sense.

Great video.. If you haven't already can you do a video about the arms and elbows?

Damn ive just been man handling it and that explains ny groupings alot

This guy has the phenotype of a ninja turtle wtf LOL

You hooped the banana and it motivated you to practice dry firing more?

How does this method transfer to one handed shooting? If I grip the gun with my trigger hand loosely, while shooting with that hand only, it'll produce limp wristing malfunctions.

2:02 to 2:10 wording was WILD lmao “First things first before we talk about how to grip we’re going to talk about where to grip… this is my buddy Mike we’re going to talk about where to grip” Ayoooo 😂

oh my god. this clicks so well

Do you guys ship outside the US?

Terimakasih penjelasannya kawan

then swap fruits & train weak side shooting, or make apple banana smoothie & practice one-handed. great video. been impressed with the quality of content, and delivery. subscribing 👍

How hard are you actually squeezing though because most people can't continually exert the force required to crush an apple for more than a minute.. my arm gets tired

I crush the gun without compromising accuracy or speed, the key is push pull like hell while keeping a slightly relaxed strong hand. Pushing with your strong hand allows you to do that

Let me introduce you dry fire banana $50ea

Finally some one that explained it to where every one can get it. I watched thousands of hand gun videos and Only yours mentions what to do with the grip tension between both instead of just slappin your hands together in a fuckin vice. Grab the banana and cup the balls lol😆

Doubles. Shoot doubles best thing for grip imo

So that's why my girlfriend that loves guns has always a cucumber with her in the purses , and when I ask her what use has for this she said that she use it to learn to grip the hand better and squeeze the trigger faster. Thank you man! But she said that banana is not so good as in your video.

1:26 "If your grip is garbage, nothing else matters." This is a very strong statement and one that is entirely false if your objective is hitting the target, which it should always be. Focusing on grip is the single biggest noob trap with handguns but it's guaranteed to get clicks on KZfaq. The cardinal rules for grip are grip how it feels comfortable and doesn't disturb the sights; anything beyond that and you hit a hard wall of diminishing returns. Clamping down with your support hand and trying to remember all this left hand right hand stuff is not going to help you hit the target. Anyone who has done ISSF style competition knows this. In 50m Free Pistol (RIP) you're basically not gripping at all, the shape of the grip encapsulates your hand and the only thing you're moving is your trigger finger when the sights are aligned and proper sight picture is achieved. The biggest failure point for the most amount of people is poor trigger control, and if the objective is to hit the target you can accomplish that with a grip as terrible as holding the pistol upside down and using your pinky to pull the trigger so long as you exercise proper trigger control, your sights are aligned and proper sight picture is achieved. Also as a side note, gripping with your firing hand that lightly doesn't work great for sustained fire if you primarily shoot one handed only like I do, especially when you move into something like .45 or .357 Magnum and up. Good video from a production and presentation standpoint but seriously way too much hot air is expended on this platform in regards to grip when it can basically be summed up in a 15 second KZfaq short.

Instructions unclear: gripped banana, ended up with cream.

Mmmmm VHS tapes

There is a much more simple way to articulate how to grip the gun. With your dominant hand, hold only as tightly as you need to so the gun doesn’t move in your hand, IE the gun and your hand are completely connected. With your non dominant hand, hold as tightly as you need to so the gun does not move in that hand. Again looking for a complete connection to the gun. Where you place your support hand and how much texture on the grip will change how much pressure is actually required to achieve this. Once you have that figured out, all you need to do is lock your wrists to keep them from moving during recoil. When you’re shooting one handed the principle remains the same. Grip hard enough that the gun doesn’t slip in your hand and lock your wrist. Any more pressure than this is not really achieving anything.

Damn bruh twenty years? It took me 2 months to fist sized groups at 15 yards with my shield plus. I'm happy with this.

Certum 3 for the M&P when???

Nice new thumbnail hahaha

Ive got a banana if anybody needs to improve they grip😅 Sorry just had to type it.😊

Thank you for the great video! One thing though… I feel like being able to crush an apple with one hand as easily as you did is strange. The only explanation is that you’re a cyborg. Might as well admit it, T-1000

How about shooting one handed?

*The producers of this media wish it to be known that no fruit were harmed in the making of this video and all fruit were used strictly for size comparison.

Sus

Is this for real? I read so many diff n opposing perspectives

😴

So shooting and practicing a lot with one hand is actually contra productive. Because when shooting with one hand you have to grip harder. There are competing shooting style where you are only allowed to shoot with one hand. I always thought. Oh if you can shoot good with one hand then you can shoot even better with two hands. But that is not completely true then.

Idk seems kinda fruity to me

I can't decide if this is genius..... or really dumb.....

This is all wrong. Proper grip is 100% crush grip with both hands. Just ask Leatham.

Nah train to shoot good with one hand,, and use your other hand as a bonus when needed. There called hand guns not hands guns

Or port your gun and get a gas pedal. Work smarter not harder. Its 2024.

Gun KZfaqrs keep getting more and more cringe
