Hello everybody. Welcome back to the channel. It’s Dan Webster here at Lith Golf Academy and today I’m going to give you three very simple tips on your grip and how hard you should be squeezing a club. Yes, grip pressure. So, first of all, before we get to that, welcome to the channel. If you are a subscriber, thank you very much. If you’re not, I would love it if you hit that subscribe button, the notification bell as well to make sure you don’t miss out on any future videos. And even make a comment below. Tell me a bit about your grip. Do you swing cat candy? Do you grip it the other way around? Do you have any success with that? Or questions about the video which we’re talking about now, which is grip pressure. You’ll have read, you’ll have heard you should be holding the club like you’re holding a small bird or a a tube of toothpaste. Well, I’m going to question that. Now, when you watch golfers on tour, you’ll see them grip the club and this right forefinger lifts up a little bit with a bit of pressure there. So, they are squeezing it. The best players in the world are swinging an iron around about 90 miles an hour. If you’re only holding it gently, then you’re not going to generate much control. You might lose control of that club as it makes impact. So, the first one on grip pressure is hold it like you mean it. Give it a bit of a squeeze. However, if you hold it too tightly and really give it a squeeze, it shortens your muscles. When your muscles are shortened, you will not get back down to the ball. So hold it with a nice bit of pressure, not too tight that you can feel restricted, but not so soft that you’re going to let go of it. Now, if you were playing a short shot, tip number two, and a a finesse shot, then yes, a little bit lighter on the grip to give you extra feel. So remember, first one, grip it hard enough to be holding it. Not wanting to squeeze a life out of it, but we definitely want to hold on. If you are holding it too tight, can’t release the club. The second one, if you’re playing that short shot, just remember when you’re playing the short shot, a finesse shot a little bit softer in the hands will give you a little bit more feel and allow you to just release those wrists a little bit. Third one, this is the best tip on the grip and grip pressure is put the club in the base of the fingers on that left hand, just across the base of the fingers. Wrap that left thumb over the top and make sure those four fingers are squeezing the club. Make sure that’s where you’re holding it. This will give you the most control of the club face. If that club is sitting in the palm of the grip there, you have got no real hold of the club. That could be twisted out quite easily. And if you just hit a slightly offcentered strike, holding it in the palm, that ball will not go where you want it to go. Three things. First of all, grip it tight enough, but not too tight. Second one, when you’re playing a finesse shot, make sure that you’ve got a nice soft grip and soft hands through the swing. And then if you’re making sure when you do hold it for a full shot, grip towards the base of the fingers, left thumb over the top. This will give you good control. and then turn. Really nice strike there. Holding on to that club with my left hand. That’s a dominant hand for a right-handed golfer. Thank you for watching. Really appreciate you taking the time.

  1. Learned my grip at 8 and has not changed- Jack Wiltshire was the Pro at Old Links!
    However- have in recent years softened my right hand and with it shortened my swing and both give more control. It also means it is possible to get the same distance without having to use more energy! A win win!
