How to Grip the Golf Club Perfectly | The Best Grip Tutorial I've Ever Heard

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

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.

Loved this!

Amazing lesson! Revelatory! Thank you!

This is a gem, great video

Great one!!! Thx

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.

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

Excellent!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

That guys a very good teacher

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!

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

Without writing a small novel, I recently happened upon changing my grip "strength" after a really bad round. Always thought "neutral" was lead thumb on top of the grip. Didn't consider that it depends on how you are built. Noticed while doing a takeaway drill that I felt restricted with that "neutral" grip and noticed that if I opened the face way up my backswing felt more natural. That led to a "very strong" grip. This video confirms what I found, it's just my natural arm hang. Also, the round before the grip change I shot a 114 and had never broken 100. Next two rounds were 97,95. No other changes, no "practice". Just a grip change and warm up before the round. Crazy.

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.
