This fine fellow had many characteristics that lead him to hit a big slice. We worked on bettering his grip, helping his club path and improving his set up position.

Okay so watch some irons you had iron path of 11 left you had a driver path of 10 Left Right explain to you that the ball starts where the face is pointed and then curves away from the path so you know this rope would say the face is

Square to the Rope right perpendicular to the Rope well a fade would be anything where you know the ball starts where the face is pointed straight and that would friction the ball into a fade this could friction the ball into a hook you with me MH whenever you have a

Downward attack angle and yours is five or six down that’s adding down that’s adding backspin okay so you have a 10° Golf Club if that’s 10° Club is traveling level you get an appropriate Back Spin for that Loft now some players actually hit up on it a bit right and

That’s reducing Loft so their 105 is actually being minimized got it okay so elements for you that you know we’ve got to kind of fix here is that you’ve got a very there’s some things we’re going to jump on right away I’m not I like how

You put your left hand on I’m not a fan of of how you put your right hand on it’s very much in the webbing so come on come on around over here beside me right and I want to explain like these clubs are these grips are good because they

Have a seam right here at 6:00 okay so there’s 12:00 there’s 6:00 now see that seam and see this fold on my index finger yep see how that’s kind of touching that seam okay so the fold the last fold on my index finger by my fingernail is kind of touching the LA

Touching the 6:00 seam okay now what that does is is see how my right index finger is an extension of the flat part of the back of my hand yes it’s not it’s not a fist okay that’s going to feel trippy to you but here’s what I want you

To realize let me have your right hand out here this this acts as a as a like you got great hands man you got really really soft hands okay which is great sometimes I do this people they can’t even move they’re so stiff you don’t you

Just have a bad grip so see how that little that little Bend right there is at the 6:00 part of this got it grip which does something cool it takes the primary knuckle and gets it to be slightly above the grip above the grip why is that important because it

Gives a place a nice place for the club to rest oh okay so see how that just sitting on this knuckle peacefully you have a situation where this grip’s pretty new and it’s going to get worn out in no time I bet they do I mean I

Even change them myself I bet you do yep cuz I know the driver’s not new but I know the grip’s new and I know you’re going to shred the grip cuz if it slips around in your right hand I change them all the time okay so I’m you know you

Can’t fool me mister get over here come on put your good left hand on here for me all right just pretty much just my three fingers is what I do yeah yeah hang on no no right hand yet no right hand yet okay okay so I’m going to take this and

I’m going to bend this back okay now do you want to be a good golfer uhhuh forget about the interlock grip please okay that’s fine okay okay and then hold the club at the end so slip down toward the end uhhuh a little further down all

Right right f it down here just hold it at the end okay there you go okay there’s a great looking left hand now here’s a right hand don’t move okay the interlock grip pisses me off I’ll tell you why because everybody thinks that oh I’m a golfer look at me and lock my

Hands no it doesn’t mean a damn thing the reason hands fingers connect or or they ride piggy back is to get the hands a little closer to one another okay okay so see how my right hand is an extension of my back of my my index finger is an

Extension on my right hand good so take this finger and put it at 6:00 okay good and then then before you put all your fingers hang on a sec this pinky chillax for a sec with this Pinky the pinky is just not going to interlock just going

To rest it’s just going to go there now you have a grip that you can be proud of that could go on a Christmas card that right there if all you do is that today you’re a better golfer okay this is an extension now okay of your hand you

Tracking I see that y lovely okay make me happy Carlos okay so I feel that okay good now here’s the other good thing is the club is now farther away from this wrist joint that’s a big deal rather than be here small Dimension we don’t want there’s a much bigger Dimension now

This golf club can absolutely Tater it so I’m not going to do anything we’re just going to hit one for funsies okay it feels soft that hands feels really soft set your foot set your feet take a look you’re going to hit a driver here so widen your stance come on okay move

Your feet that way both of them a little bit keep going keep going keep going good take a look to your left take a look to my left to just hit it for me or miss it it’s fine okay good you hooked it yay crazy okay so now interesting right yeah but I

Kind of jumped off that’s fine so the club path you know went from double digits to five hey that’s a big Improvement one one swing okay face to path was not that that different it’s just now was a mild hookie face the path okay interesting right mhm so that that

Ball you know that the spin came way down from 5,000 to 1980 okay which is good now we get that to launch better and we’re we’re we’re in business so hold on one sec just trying to feel it I get you babe I get you we’ll get you

There trying to feel it I’m going to get you to feel a good grip so I’m have to yell that’s not it you just went back that’s not it I just went back I know right here okay I got it yep and these two fingers don’t have to

Wrap so so much okay there you go good and this thumb chills right there kind of on the target side of the ground right okay okay good now aim that face take a look where you’re going give me a wide stance is move your feet that

Way so the ball’s a bit more there within your feet good okay okay good take a look to your left good back to the ball go ahead and hit it for me okay good that’s okay that’s okay yeah I’m not I’m not going back yet totally you’re fine halfway we’re just

Getting started man I know this is good okay it feels different okay so the path so still 6.8 so it’s just a bit just a bit excessive which is fine now let me explain something to you here we’re going to get a little freaky decky on you okay okay

So hang on one sec no stand beside me take that right index finger yours and mildly hyperextend it so try to relax cuz you I you can do you can do it easy when I do it for you so see how that’s wrinkly here y hyperextended good that’s what it feels

Like and there’s 6 o00 on the grip okay so these wind grips have that seam there mhm and you can take that and you got big mitts but this is does doesn’t really matter so see how how much of my palm is holding that grip right now no

Not at all not at all yep okay so it’s my fingers are on there okay and your trigger finger is yeah it’s at 6 o00 and my thumb is restfully on the left side of the grip okay show me that nice left hand all right always there you go

That’s pretty darn perfect now I’m going to be the right hand keep that index finger there watch what I’m doing here just for a sec see how these the ring finger butts up up against the index y pinky rides piggy back 6:00 and there y good okay so these are

Pigging back here yep okay the pinkie piggy back this is at 6:00 beautiful and this thumb’s chilling over there ch right next to it there you go okay got that’s great oh you’re making I got a video for you right now good so aim that face okay good now aim that face and

Take a look okay okay that’s nice okay this arm’s dominant this arm’s chill okay lovely okay yeah okay cool now did we slice that ball no it went straight but I feel like this thing is doing nothing well it should I know it’s okay okay good well

What it was doing before so club path six left mhm um you hit a ball that went pretty straight okay spins way way better you know it’s still only going a buck 80 but we’ll get you up there I’m not I’m not hitting hard oh no I know

But I don’t want you to I don’t want you to cuz your you’re hitting hard doesn’t give you any reward it spins it too much right okay okay all right so oh look at that grip and Pria okay good left so do me a favor scoy the feet that way good

Awesome left arms dominant right arms chill take a look take a look take a look then come back to the ball and go go ahead and send one nice big turn and rip it oh baby talk talk dirty to me is that something feels good but I

Like I said it’s just it’s weird cuz I’m not feeling anything on this hand so that’s good what do you want trust me bu no I know I trust you you want to feel that that exactly and it just wow okay okay here you go wow that’s

So got to get used to it that’s all is what it is it’s so right okay okay good that’s nice this is dominant right is a little softer okay waggle wagle take a look give there you go give me a nice robust back swing and send it okay good no slice there

Mister there is no slice there my uncomfortness my uncomfortness that’s it it is okay cool so now spin’s nice now we’re hitting it over 200 yards there there’s a 210 ball okay way to go so you had the same you have the same rough speed okay that was 855 your first

Swings your way was were 87 your spin your way was 4,000 you know now the spins at 1806 1806 which is low launch I mean I mean sorry low spin mhm you know face to path was 1° versus wide open you with me absolutely way to go okay that’s

Fantastic so now let’s do the same thing with an iron okay so a lot of things are setup biased okay so if I hit this iron casual pardon me for a sec just stand down yeah right there just not in front of trackman or your video

So your left hand grip’s nice now you’re learning how to find that seam at 6:00 with your index finger what do you notice about my right elbow is it pointing to to the Target my right or left elbow me I’m sorry your right elbow

My left just a little bend a little b a little soft yeah so here’s a here’s a chill swing that I think you’ll be able to duplicate okay so that’s just a peaceful little shot toward my target right that would be nice yeah so that’s probably I

Don’t know around 80 M hour Club head speed I guess just a smoother 82 okay okay club path 3.4 Inside Out mm face angle 1° to the right slightly close face to path baby draw okay it carried this nine iron carried 141 it went 147

That’ll be a great thing if I can do that okay well so the reason why that peaceful swing goes that far is because the face to path is strong right it’s not wipey your club path buddy was 11 degrees left this is 3.4 degrees right

Okay now tune in with me here I’m not telling you to swing to the right no okay here’s what I’m suggesting okay when you have and just be mindful track band’s behind you you’re you’re fine when you have the grip on correctly and the golf club can flex your wrists properly basically stress

You in a good way the club is Now tracking inside out because of risk conditions you had this you know crazy strong right arm bad right hand it had to go Steep and across so do you see how now with it with this index finger at

6:00 right you have way more room here for this restful rest for the club to work inside out okay and I also don’t feel that pressure of my shoulders good I hope I hope not I think you look great like I mean that was a shocking Improvement in a couple drivers and I

And I know I’ll get you heated it up here and send a few so your big thing is we can’t play The Driver Way Forward every open face player wants to play Way Forward why because it buys them time for their open face to square so we’re

Going to get the golf ball forward with your driver but within your stance okay you know so you know it doesn’t have to be on the foot it can be a little bit little bit in because if I if I hit driver back here doesn’t mean I’m going

To hit a low just means I’m going to start it more to the right and draw it okay so there you can have the driver two forward where you have to wipe across it okay so now come in here with your great left hand then show me your 6:00 index

Finger pinky rites piggy bank yeah that’s I had to I had to think about that one good right that’s right there that’s pretty nice aim the face take a look to your left wonderful step your left foot more that’s way too far forward to the ball location do that

Again put your feet together put your feet together on the ball beautiful step your left foot to the left that far A little more perfect step your right foot to the right this far not even that much so narrow narrow both up it’s just too

Much there you go okay uh come on 6 o’ 6 o’ 6 o’ good aim the face take a look you look fantastic hit a shot for me that looks great okay so good try shoulder did not back that’s okay buddy no no so that was let’s take a look let’s just talk

Through the through the were minus 11 before what do you now 5.4 yeah so you’re you’re way better face fact face to path still wa open okay a face angle was to the right club path to the left there’s kind of a weak fade now here’s what we’re going to learn how to

Do you are going to learn how to strengthen the face a little bit okay so if I take this this take your wristwatch off and put it in your pocket here’s a little clicky guy okay and we’re going to put this on the back of your left hand all

Right okay comfortable mhm good no problem and there’s a dress watch click this one’s there we go okay okay so now let’s go ahead and get your great left hand grip on there m mhm good perfect remember right hand grip the the ring finger slides down pinky figer rides piggy back all right

And then what where’s 6:00 6 o00 is right there on you know it there wonderful good so we’re going to basically set up to this golf ball okay perfect you look great okay get set not even that wide with the right foot there you go Beauty okay now this is all world

The only thing I’m going to do here see this Valley mhm cuddle that thumb with that Valley a bit more and you don’t have to try to twist the right hand over just pair to it just pair to it yeah there you go now watch this as I come

Back see how this can go click and flatten mhm okay you know this now guess where the face is there’s an inside out club that’s going to travel inside out to a ball got it you see where I’m showing you here good so do me a favor set that

Up to the ball okay okay good and the fields are going to be back back back back back back back and if I had a business card or how about this if I took a t mhm and I put this T in here see how that can hold the t mhm how you

Going to drop that tea watch what’ your wrist do to drop the tea it moved away from the Gizmo didn’t it yeah I just moved away from it okay watch let’s do this again so now you set up to the ball set up to the ball for me

Okay okay the t’s in here isn’t it mhm good now we’re going to make a back swing come on back back back back back I don’t know why you’re trying to you don’t have to try to swing over here all you have to do is this watch MH drop the

T you know what I mean so that T I should put it the other way so you know so the more your wrist goes this way you see how the t comes out so here’s where we start here’s where we’re going and we’re learning how to drop a tea does

That make sense yep good here you getting up to the top and just open and then just letting that drop yep good take a look to your left but here’s the thing why you why here just here’s what I just saw so I’m obviously confusing you yes stand right here mhm watch me

Mhm now you just showed me something that went like this correct that a golf swing doesn’t go this way go we’re on more of a tilt so you’re doing fantastic index at 6:00 okay this is the shape we’re looking for now I could drop a

T this way I don’t have to try to go and round myself off does that make sense yep just bring swing my natural swing you do your natural swing we’re just doing risk conditions okay make sense now yep good good so put your good left hand on your new right hand okay there

We go ah there yep there you go piggy back 6 o00 with that index finger perfect good good good I’m going to give us a little now let’s go to the top don’t even hit this now how does that watch that’s close but you don’t

Have to go it doesn’t you have to go out that far you don’t have to pitch it over here just all you have to do is this oh okay bring okay got you know what I mean you don’t have to do anything up here

You tracking okay I I am I think I am okay good okay so set up again shake it out okay get that golf ball just left of center of your zipper so I feel like your zipper damn near on the golf ball that’s perfect okay that index finger

Elbow there you Co buddy you look great okay go ahead and hit one okaying it though yeah you are topping it so what do you need to do need to get into it well whatever the hell that means but here you go it means I got to

Get down on it okay well you that’s a great so now this is a guy who’s set up much much better okay but it’s still a steep delivery that doesn’t relate to the back of the balls let me explain what I mean by that mhm so this is a guy

That isn’t really dropping that that club is coming down a little too steeply I’m not opening that club at the top okay okay so it’s not opening what I’m looking for it’s the the verbiage Eng golf would be closing flexing closing flexing that you see what I mean

Okay cuz if we get that piece now based on what I’m looking at you’re it’s night and day so hang on a second let me show you where we’re going with this me save this video I’ll pause it for a moment okay so we just took a little

Break there to show you really happy with this so far okay MH club path is halfway better now here’s the clicker now here’s an advanced drill take a t the clicker will keep the te in place okay let me have the club I’m going to

Grip it MH now watch what I’m doing here the teals stay put that’s your where’s the club now behind my hands behind your hands where’s the club now where have front of your hands yeah so see how wrist conditions yeah change the orbit of things if the club heads

Force on it are you with me okay MH so this is a dress pal okay so watch my left hand hand so this is a dress watch my this was you now you’re learning how to go that way see how that that tea would have fell out of there wouldn’t it

Right exactly so now there’s a strong face the reward for a strong face is to unwind a bit and thump it rather than have an open face where you got to try to you know hit it with a toe every time you see how we’re having contacts in the

Face now that’s what I’m talking about way to go show me another one put your great left hand on okay clicked back a bit good run that middle run that ring finger down to your index finger piggy back with a pinky 6:00 with the index finger that’s it 6 o00 wonderful now

Tea brother and that doesn’t have to go so straight we’re dropping a te okay this is where you’re this is the way down where the left wrist is flexed and awesome and it’s going to kick inside out okay so this is what I’m trying to

I’m trying to get to this yes right here bam okay mashed potatoes now when you walk in give me feet that are together left foot a little to the left right foot a little and a little more to the right but not much cuz you get a little

  1. Martin, I'm almost 74 years old. Started playing golf at age 45. I started out with the Vardon overlap grip but changed to the interlock grip several years ago. I tried going back to previous grip but it doesn't feel as secure. I generally drive the ball over 200 yards and average about a 12 -14 handicap. I hit a 54 degree sand wedge on average 75 – 80 yards with good accuracy. Why are you opposed to an interlock grip? Tiger and Jack used it. Curious

  2. Dont make these videos. There are too many causes for a slice so your video is totally irrelevant unless you are giving a one on one lesson
