I’ve learnt more in the first 10 minutes than I have in the past 12 months

After watching this video I have completely change my pre shot routine……this lesson works.

What I'm gathering from this is that the controlling fingers , 5 of them to be exact, for a right hander, are the middle/ring/pinky of the left hand, and the middle/ring fingers of the right hand. The index fingers on both hands just kind of curl around the shaft on either side, but not with any real grip pressure and the pinky on the right hand just lays on top of the index finger of the left or between the index and middle finger if you're doing the overlap style. Both thumbs lay down the sides of the shaft so that you can achieve maximum wrist hinge down and back, and side to side. Thumbs straight down the shaft severely limit this hinge. It looks like you can grip it with enough strength to swing back, make contact, and through without it feeling loose, but that if you were holding the club straight out in front of you someone could pull on it and, unless you increased your grip strength, it would slide out of your hands fairly easily.

Great video on the grip, I hope I understand everything that Mr. Alpert showed Evan. Keep it coming, because us senior players need all the help we can get.

Amazing lesson! Revelatory! Thank you!

Loved this!

I was expecting more ‘ hogan says ‘or ‘jacobs says ‘bullshit . Pleasantly suprised to find someone who knows how the body works , you simply cannot swing or deliver the face with any consistency with a grip thats fighting you or is manufactured . Well done .👍 As an aside , when you get this correct the right and left hand work together and ‘feel’ together . This gives you the power to use a dominant right

Early in the video, some CLOSE UPS of the positions would have been helpful!! Thanks for the instruction!!

Excellent!

This is a gem, great video

Excellent and detailed explanation of how and why we should grip the club correctly, and not all golfers will grip it the same, it depends on the nautral hang of your lead arm. The trail hand should sit in the life-line of the palm towards the trail hand side and wrap over the lead hand. I live the hotdog analogy. Thanks for sharing, will make sure my grip adheres to this. Cheers.

My dad learned from books in the 70's and taught himself. Great golfer, same grip he taught me.

Great one!!! Thx

Very nice video. There is one thing with putting thumbs on 12 o'clock - you will quickly feel pain after a few shots in hard terrain or a mat.

I tried this and was a little surprised how strong my grip was vs the more neutral grip I’ve been using. Definitely going to give it a go, thanks!

Sooooo, the past several months I've been struggling with my driver. Like I won't go on the golf course because of it. After watching this video I went out front with foam balls and WHAT!?!? Perfect looking drives. Long story, I changed my grip and body position about 10 or 11 weeks back trying to hit my irons better, which worked amazing. Gained a lot of distance and way better ball flight. But over the weeks I was getting worse with driver. At first I was able to sort it out after about 10 shots. In fact on one day I had sorted it out so well I was almost hitting the ball off the driving range. I'm talking like little grunts and lip whistles cause I was able to swing as absolutely hard as I could. This elderly gentlemen comes over and says, "Where are you hitting the ball too? I can't see them out that far." So I setup and smashed it out there. He said, "Sorry I didn't see it off the club." So I lined up another one and duck hooked it. Tried again, duck hook. Tried again and worm burned it. Over the next 15 attempts I was not able to hit the ball right. And I'm like "WTF!!!!!!!" The guy goes back to his bucket and I switch to irons, hitting just beautiful. Back to driver and duck hook or worm burning every single attempt. It even looks like I'm putting top spin on the ball. Like if it did get off the ground, it would fly about fifty yards and drill itself back into the ground. I usually go to the range 3-4 times per week and 'normally' will hit about 10-15 drivers shots out of a bucket of 100 balls. But since losing the ability to hit the driver I have increased that to about 50 balls per bucket. So I have hit several hundred balls trying to fix my driver swing. I can't wait to get to the range in a few days and verify this after crunching about 20 foams balls just now.

Take a look at Harringtons video on the grip, he has a series called Paddys Tips... Basically the same info (except he's a two time major winner)... Differs a little on the trail hand but i've recently started applying it and have never striped it better!

I’ve been gripping the club wrong for 3 years, wow.

Imagine having a grip video and not having any video showing your hands

To all golfers..what's your preferred grip type? Overlap, interlocking, or 10 finger?

Evan I have seen hundreds of grip videos not one said to squeeze the three fingers what a difference

Now that you have this down, don't focus on your grip/hands as you swing. Push it back with the wrist joint of your left arm. On the downswing lead with your wrist joint of your left hand and the leading edge of your right forearm. Your arms will swing more freely together with speed if you can remember this.

The lesson here is not the grip, it's taking a lesson, preferably from a PGA pro with good creds. Beginners need to get this in their head! Don't learn from your buddies that can't break 90 on their best day, go take a series of lessons! If this is not possible then buy Ben Hogan's Five lessons book, it covers the grip extensively.

I’ll make the right hand simpler. Take your right hand, extend it out like you are going to shake hands with someone’s knees. Take the side of the club and run it diagonally from palm index pad to pinky pad…..the part of the palm just before where the fingers start…..then close your fingers. This creates the index trigger as well. Your power comes from the base of the fingers against the club not the “hot dog “ part of the grip.

This is good instruction. Guess the "Mind Blowing Breakthrough to Better Golf" stopped working.

Is there such a thing such thing as a perfect grip, I can't grip that way. I have nerve damage on my Left thumb and index finger, CAN"T over lap, I have to use the 10 finger grip only. So if that instructor can show me how to hit a ball with the baseball grip, I've not seen one who has yet, then he really is a good instructor. I'm a 9 Hc at the moment. My grip is working ok, it's my Back and my putting that keeps me from scratch. I have scratch my course when the putter work well.

The trigger finger on my lead hand has become slack to where if I let it straighten, my aim is terrible. Not saying you can't let it straighten, but for me it's a bad habit that affects my club face awareness. I have to consciously place/lay it in place and my shots are better despite it feeling like I am over-gripping. Not sure how I got into this habit but it certainly affects my swing.

95% of golf tutorials are needlessly long. Thanks still for the sharing.

I thought I was a sub. KZfaq decided I wasn't. So... new sub

It would have been great to actually see the hands

Years back, a golf coach said- ‘Hold a Golf Club as if you were to pickup up luggage with the handle.’

intro is in HD, but lesson is filmed in the 1990s on videotape...

Be nice if we could see the hands, geesh!

I've been looking for a golf coach like this for so many years. I always get ramblers that do nothing but talk the whole time and take my money.

Hogan's book bruh. Even has pictures of this exact position.

You were manipulating the golfer into the correct position and then showing him the way he can get it wrong ! However the camera was too far away to see exactly what was happening ! We can deduce it but a few close ups would have been great !

I think o got it, but would have been more helpful if you weren’t so far away

Bad video, no closeups of the hands

Video is too far away!

lots of talking, little close up showing

Camera work is poor mate redo the video with better camera work

Less talking and more ,how to do it right.

You talk and interrupt too often!

Talk to much. Poor picture. I don’t learn any thing

I can’t stand the concept of doing something, “wrong” in golf. Just look at the #1 player in the world

15 min of BS and 5 seconds of what you really need to see.

A lot of waffling about nothing!!!What a waste of time!!!!
