In this instructional golf video, Martin Chuck works with a student at the Tour Striker Golf Academy on how changing grip can change the release pattern. Martin explains how a strong right-hand grip often forces players to “dump” the club under, leading to drop-kicks, blocked shots, and inconsistent contact. By adjusting the right-hand position—using the thumb, index, and middle finger connection—he helps the student find a more neutral face and create a proper release through rotation.
This lesson highlights how small grip adjustments can completely change ball flight, improve divot location, and unlock better body movement through impact.

[Music] That’s That’s good swing, Marco. Good swing, Tony. Do you have a room key on you? No. Oh, you’re not staying here. That’s right. Um, go ahead and grip it. Okay. Okay. Club up off the ground. Beautiful. Great. Go for it. So much better. Okay. Now, the T allows you to cheat. Yeah. It allows you to kind of drop kick it, make it go. Okay. The reason we’re making trying to change this face for you is to so you understand this. Stay there. I’m going to explain. When you have this right hand and then you hinge it, the face gets really strong. Okay? So, to get to the ball, Yeah. you know, you got to do, you know, and typically when your miss is going to be something that is a bit of a drop kick behind the ball. You with me? Okay. So, that’s why when we do the left hand only exercise and you swing it back and your chest is turned, that thumb is between the grip and your chest, then this face has a reason, a need to have a rate of rotation the other way. And this rate of rotation is the thing that kind of can touch the ball, carve out a little divot, and then keep going and exhaust itself up, back, and behind us on a finish. You with me? And then we add the open palm to the left thumb to get our right side to participate in that event. Okay. So, and then we add the right hand eventually. And then we got to be super mindful that we don’t fall into the shut face again. you tracking. When we take this back and we feel that thumb still between the grip and our turned chest, your right thumb, my left thumb, you know, not really my right thumb, but my left thumb, you know, and so when you Here’s the supportive thing at the top. So, when you see a club, it’s a thumb when you do the left hand only drill. And then at the top, it’s a knuckle and a thumb and still the pinky finger, ring finger. Are you with me? It’s not two thumbs. Yeah. Okay. And so that’s how the face can be a bit more neutral. Now, I get it. You’re doing it off a tea, but I want to see you do this. I’m going to take this stick and I’m going to create a groove just by standing on it. Now, I’m going to have a good groove. Then, I’m going to move the ball. And then when we put a ball here, the booty of the ball, the rear end of the golf ball is going to be just elevated over that groove. See where? Uhhuh. You see what I mean? And now start in the inside ball and hopefully you touch the ball and discolor or take a little divot on the other on the lead side over there. Now give me good hands and a restful right thumb. Okay. So, do we disrupt the S? Do we get any quote divot over there? Now, do me a favor, Tony. That index finger, you’re pointing it down the shaft like this. Kind of wrap it underneath a little bit. You do. Go ahead and wrap it a little bit more. Okay. Okay, let me have this hand. Okay, good. This index finger, wrap it. Put this thumb right there almost to touch this. Touch it. Oh, okay. Touch your middle finger and your index finger. Okay. My middle finger touch them. Here’s your middle finger. Yeah. Touch. Touch them both. Let them both be touch. Perfect. Yeah. Put your thumb there. Okay. Beautiful. Love it. Like I have no grip, though. It’s exactly how I do it. Do I have no grip? I don’t know. Well, I don’t know. when I grip it. May I? No, I believe I have it. I believe you. Do you need a grip there? It’s just different. Yeah. Okay. So, where did we land? Way here. Okay. So, watch. I have a choice. Okay. Stand right here, please. I knew it. What did you do? What do you think you did? I went up and then dipped down. Okay. I would disagree. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Now, no, no, don’t back up anymore. He’ll kill you. Where you’re standing is perfectly good. Just not in front of the camera. So, you can You did fabulous. Okay. What you did was make a swing out to right field. And that’s not a dip. That’s just a guy who didn’t turn enough to let it land over here. Now, you would never let it land over here. You know why? Because you always had the face too strong and closed. So there was never a reward for you to turn your body and have the club land more to the left since the face was so shot. The reward was always to try to quote swing out to right field. Never to let the hands and arms be transported by a bit of body pivot. Does that make sense? Yes. Good. So now do me a favor. We’re not going to hit a ball. You’re going to come over here. You’re going to put your right thumb on your middle finger and index finger just like this. You say you have no grip. Trust me, there’s plenty of grip there. You want to do this and squeeze with a thumb, but we’re not going to do that. Then I’m gonna ask you to do this. I’m gonna put a ball artificially forward over here. Okay. Is that artificially forward? Damn right it is. Then I’m going to ask you to turn and hit it over there. Not don’t hit it hard. Just turn and hit it over there. But we’re start there. But we’re we’re um positioning myself as if I’m if the ball working. Yeah. There’s your see-through ball right there. Okay. Okay. Show me. Touch your middle finger and index finger with your thumb. Hang on one second. Almost. Just a bit more that way. Good. Okay. So, you still landed way behind it. Right now, you did hit the ball, but you hit this far behind it before you hit it. Right? So, here’s the different recipe. Instead of adding eggs and flour and sugar, we’re going to add sugar, flour, and eggs. It’s going to come out differently. Okay? It’s it’s still a golf swing. Okay? Put your right hand on. I’m going to take this index finger and I’m going to put it a bit more to where that is behind this. That’s the sweet spot. That is right there. Okay. This thumb’s going to touch here and here together. Okay. Now, I’m going to ask you to turn enough to where you can carve a divot out of the ground over here. Carve a divot out of the ground. You with me? Uh-huh. Good. Do it right now. Carve a divot. Well, go ahead and hit. Please carve a divot to the left of the yellow stick that goes way to your left. Wow. Hard to do, isn’t it? Okay, that’s close. But that’s I want a divot that is over here. Thank you. There you go. Awesome. Okay, good. That same field. Please carve that quote divot over there. Touch the middle finger and index finger with that right thumb. Carve a divot to your left. Please. Lovely. Lovely. Okay. So, now we’re changing the order of things, right? The face is still a little strong, but the face was so strong before, there’s no way you could have rotation. You had to kind of dump it under and try to block it straight. Now, we’re getting that right hand in a more meaningful spot. Feels weird to you. Trust me. But you’re you can you can just say, “Oh, I’m going to touch that middle finger and that index finger because I don’t want that thumb back behind the grip because as soon as you It makes my right hand too hard. way, way too strong and shuts the face immediately. Okay, that was fantastic. Now, to take a divot over here, you don’t have to swing like the dickens. Safely stand right there. Please turn and face me. You’re safe. Okay, so you’re going to touch that middle finger and index finger and nice and easy peasy. See how I can if I don’t rotate, I can’t touch over there, can I? But if I add rotation, I can touch over there. But if I have a dead shut face, does it make any re is there any reward to do this? No. The reward is to hang back and help it up in the air. See where I’m going? Good. Come on. You got this. Show me. Okay. You know where that thumb touches. Beautiful. You know it. Good. Go for it, please. Lovely. Didn’t quite take a divot, but okay.
