is it ok to only lock your thumb in your right hand and not lock your pincky and pointing finger? because i see you and everyone else that can play very well wiht their pincky locked too! any thaughts?
HI MARK , GREAT VIDEO IT'S AS THO YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING ME PLAY HAHA.I PLAY OF 8 HANDICAP,WITH AVERY STONG GRIP,I'VE TRIED IN THE PAST TO CHANGE MY GRIP BUT I ALWAYS GO BACK TO ORIGINAL GRIP....SEEING THIS GREAT VIDEO AND THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN IT,I AM NOW MORE DETERMIND TO KEEP A MORE NEUTRAL GRIP.GREAT WORK
I thought a neutral swing i.e. in to square to in. with a strong grip i.e. closed clubface, that will give you a draw not a pull. If your pulling it, you must have a out to in swing with a closed club face, thats not a neutral swing. 7:22
Great lesson Mark. Very hard to change your grip when it's been strong for years. I found it really difficult. One thing that helped me was a Leadbetter grip trainer. You can buy a club pre-fitted with one of these for about £10-£15. Are there any training aids out there you would recommend to help you take the correct grip?
Great lesson Mark.I cant wait to practice these drills as I feel that I am probably regripping midway through my swing and blowing any consistency away. A great vid thanks.
Hi Mark, This is spot on to my problem I am having right now with my game. I have rather large hands (XXL Glove) when I finish my swing the club-face is closed. I Have re gripped my clubs tried the Cross Line Jumbo, Winlite Midsize built up with tape, and still the same issue. I recently tried the Jumbo Max on a 7 Iron it has stop the severe hook but I am not happy with the shot shape. Is there any suggestion in terms of grip size in relation to my issue? Thanks DB
Great video here, I feel like grip is absolutely key to almost everything related to the golf shot, I love that you've done so many videos on it it's extremely helpful for 20 handicap style golfers like me for a simple way to improve our game...I am really looking forward to you getting your hands on the R11S as well as the Rocketballz, keep up the great content! By the way do you think you could do a video on golf gloves, your top choices?
It is a real chicken and egg situation with the grip. Sometimes I catch myself changing my grip to compensate for another problem; set up, swing plane etc. I have learned that to change from the correct grip is to take two steps back, for i will have to fix the original problem and the grip. And when you change your grip it has a outside the comfort zone feeling and really requires a leap of faith to commit too.
Good video, I just realized I'ma strong gripper - even though I hit straight shots. I'm gonna take ur advice and hope it plays out well. Could u also advice if there's a difference for driver grip? I still grip driver strong. Thx!
you are so right!! i use a neutral grip also. everybody always tells me that i'm using a weak grip but the V's on my fingers point up to my chin. But the another important thing what people dont realize also is grip pressure. i used to grip the club at probably 8(10 being the strongest). couldnt release the club face and always blocking cause i was afraid of a pull. then i changed my grip pressure to probably a 4 or 5 and KABOOM!! Total BOMB Release!! its crazy what a light grip pressure can do!
Really good video thanks. I had a grip to far over and was changed in a lesson to what you call a strong grip, which worked for a while but now i have the issues you describe in this video. The nuetral position you show is probably inbetween where i was to where I am now so cant wait to try it out and hopefully get back on track again.
I had a strong grip then I changed to a neutral grip. I sometimes still have a strong grip with my driver because you play the driver of of your front foot it is hareder for me to change, It is more of a stretch. My bad shot with my driver goes right not left though.
my right hand grip is good but I can see 3 or sometimes 4 knuckles on my left hand, making the angle between my wrist and forearm quite big, what kind of faults would this be causing? (I'm right-handed)

Can you make a video explaining how different shafts effect the ball flight, shape, or distance?

@rivers021191 all the same faults as above, get your grip fixed if you want to improve your swing.
