As a fitter, I found this to be invaluable. Watched it multiple times. Thanks a ton, David!

Always struggled with shutting my putter face. Now I know why. Tks for the fix!!

I spent about 200 hours under a 7 foot string. When I could make 50 in a row from six feet, I went home. When I returned the next day I would start out missing 5 to 7 out of 10. I knew if I could figure out why, I would become a good short putter. It turns out the 50 in a row was all timing. It had nothing to do with a good stroke. I did figure it out however. You have to putt like Ben Crenshaw who basically taught Tiger. You have to get ultra light on the grip and you have to RELEASE the clubhead (aka - let it swing). This puts the clubhead under it's own momentum where it has no propensity to twist. And for the most part it takes YOU out of the putt. This is why you see so many different grips on tour. Even Michelson changed. You have to work out the best grip that works for you in order to do this. The big flat top grip really helps with this too. It gives you a sense of consistency as you make the release. And don't be afraid to try going left hand low as well. Or, many touring pros try to take the right hand pretty much out of it by getting it into a position where it does nothing.

I went with a “cover” grip yesterday after watching this video, and I couldn’t believe how square the club went through impact; naturally too! Made a ton of putts. Let’s see if it lasts.

I love my Edel E1. Transformed my game. I used to be a claw putter over short putts for stability, don’t need it now the E1 is dialled in with a round grip.

This might be the most interesting thing I’ve seen! Great stuff

David, Great video! I’m a cover putter using the claw grip ( after watching your videos) . Very helpful on short putts but I am consistently short on long putters. Perhaps I might need a different putter head weight and some up right putter shaft. I’m using a blade/ Cleveland Frontline 8.0 Slant. Thanks for your comments. Best wishes, Carlos (from Portugal )

I received my EAS 1.0 putter a week ago and practicing like crazy with it. I’ve learned I’m a side-on golfer. Thank you for the great info. Back to practicing!

Thank you so much for sharing this video🙌🏾

Mike Adams research in this area is wildly sound....had no idea it could come to putting. also **Skip Kendall taught Chris DiMarco that grip. Re: Playing Lessons with the Pros episode from back in the day.

Excellent. Really excellent.

Great video.

Thanks. I was always fighting with closing club face during release.

Wish you guys made a midsize grip or one that’s a little thicker . For the putters

had a disaster round the other week and lost all confidence. trying claw and like the tip to not have the thumb down the shaft. thanks

Thank you!

I thought we were going to be talking about Texas Holdem poker - when to hold, when to fold. Anyway, good stuff for putting as well as for full swing too ................ o ____ ! May want to cover x-handed / lh low - thoughts on ?

@edel_golf would you still recommend a small, circular edel putter grip for a cover golfer using the claw grip? Thanks for the amazing content!!

strong left hand on he claw is a godsend

In general. does the longer forearm needing more upright apply to full swing, too?

My instructor told me that I'm a side cover golfer. He has changed my full swing a bunch. I putt left hand low, but now I don't know if that is a good fitting grip for my side cover. How should I grip the putter?

what is the name of this movie

3:33 - 3:36......coronal plane. Instinctive brain gets very fuzzy when you don't "keep your work in front of you". The "cover" takewaway is a fairly new trend in golf. It copies the "modern" tennis forehand first presented by Vic Braden in the early eighties. Braden's early use of high speed cameras showed that a palm down position in the backswing promoted a perpendicular to the ground impact position without any last second wrist compensations to get there. This new "machinelike" forehand promptly changed the game. It was far more consistent while producing the offensive topspin forehand. The jury is still out for it's use in the golf swing in my opinion. I consider it a death move because of the non instinctive body positions it promotes further up the chain. It also promotes a one ball flight player (the draw). It is sad how an entire teaching industry just jumps on any old bandwagon.

Wonder if hogan could've benefitted from this... seems like he was in a cover position with the right hand in the full swing and always "didn't putt well" despite his success.

I'm more confused now than ever.

Waffle.....claw grip is not a new thing.
