Hey golfers and welcome back to my channel in today’s video we’re going to talk about grip on the golf club okay I did a video a couple of weeks ago on the lead hand grip and honestly please do not look past the importance of the grip
It has such a KnockOn effect right the entire chain of the golf swing okay in that video I covered very heavily on left hand and of course then comments coming in what about the right hand that’s what we’re going to cover today plus something couple little tricks with
This hand that I maybe didn’t mention in the other video that you must make sure you’re doing okay so before we get started looking at this if you haven’t done so already please don’t forget to hit the like button hit the Subscribe button thank you so much for watching
That really really helps the channel helps the channel grow and reach more golfers and help more golfers all right guys so let’s get started so the grip is so important and I know that a lot of people Overlook it because if I make a grip video it doesn’t get the views as
Some of the other ones because people people generally are not that interested in it okay and it’s mad because that is our only point of contact with the golf club if I put my grip in a position which is completely crazy okay and I try
And hit a golf ball bear in mind is my only contact so I hope nobody’s gripping it like this but for example I try and hit a shot I mean my swing will be all over the place based on a bad strike but absolutely no or
Anything in it because of how I held the club no good right I have a really good grip I give myself the best chance to have my arms behave better my body behave better my wrists the club face the speed everything all right so left
Hand I did touch on this in a video so I’m going to glance over it go and check out the other video if you want to make sure that left hand’s perfect and a couple little additions to it Club up in front running through the base of the
Fingers grip left hand on the side not under and you’re going to reach the fingers under and the left hand over to the point where it’s pointing at our right shoulder okay now a couple of the things I didn’t mention as people had questioned what about this thumb should
It be short or long right what I don’t want is if you look I don’t want the thumb doesn’t need to be really short like up here because you not be able to to leverage the club the same you look at my left hand grip me get it on there right
Here that way you’ll see that the thumb maybe protrudes past this index finger very very slightly not much okay you could have it in line but not down here why not down there well if I have it down here look at my ability to hinge the club okay what would that
Do top of the back swing over swing okay not so good not hard hard to control and as I do that it’s going to change the position the club is in my hand it’s not going to run diagonally anymore it’s going to run more this way which we do not want okay so
Thumb not protruding past that really good when I have it like that I can’t hinge past 90 therefore I’m not going to get to the top with this mad amount of hinging okay and overswing control basically right left hand that was something I wanted to mention I will
Cover interlock and overlap okay um when bringing this right hand in not over complicated I think the left hand and they’re both important but the left hand is absolutely critical okay so make sure that’s correct and that thumb is correct as well so we’ve got a nice left hand
Grip built right when we look at our hand here you can going to do this you’ll see there’s a a crease or this pad here right now with our good left hand grip we’re going to bring the right in we’re not putting it in the Palm around here
That’s hooks that’s bad back swings bad swings in general we’re not going to let it go right through the fingers and reach this hand way over okay big impact on our setup right side gets dominant over the top open face disaster right so you see how much this grip actually
Plays a role in your entire golf swing as I proved at the beginning of this video okay so pad this crease just feel that that pad and that crease Nestle into that thumb which is on the side here okay and when I take that off you’ll see it’s running again through
The base of my fingers not Palm not down here base of the fingers and this pad just Nestles nicely that’s a pressure point in there something I used to do when I was practicing because I used to lose that connection through here good enough for Shane La good enough for me I
Would put a te in there and feel that so you really want to feel that crease here pushing against that thumb again talking about the swing what can that do that pressure can help you create shaft Lane instead of maybe losing that and scooping the ball all right big big
Thing on the GOL swing trust me okay so we’re through the thing F there this pad nestled in if it’s all said and done you should see that the Palm imagine a laser coming out that would point at your target too far over that’s going to point down here too far under that
Palm’s going to point away from you all right so pay real attention to that overlap interlock okay hard to say that interlock is wrong when tiger Rory do it okay but the majority of golfers overlap so what is Right me personally I use interlock which is fine interlock is
When the index finger of your left hand the pinky finger of your right link together this way now if that is you and that is what you choose if you’re anything like me and you like to wear a good quality leather glove when you’re playing golf but don’t fancy the high
Price tag well go and check out my channel sponsors page gxg golf gloves.com really good quality glove at a fraction of the cost use code David at checkout and you’ll save yourself a nice little bit of cash as well make sure that it doesn’t become what’s called a
Deep interlock so you’re not pushing them right in because look now at my right hand I do not stand a chance with that so it’s just in there a little bit we’re not going for a deep interlock they don’t need to be like crushed in together okay there if you go overlap
That is taking the pinky of your right hand and putting it between here that way typically better for I would say guys with bigger hands maybe a little stronger in the forearms but whatever basically you like or feel comfortable with choose from them I can’t stand here
And say that it has a massive impact on your gol swing it does have some impact but I’m not going to tell you that interlock is the only way to go or overlap is the only way to go only thing I would say is if you do the basball 10
Finger maybe try and get away from that not saying you can’t play good golf from there but it’s just going to make it that little bit difficult the hands aren’t quite working together so interlock not so deep right hand more on the side feeling that pressure in with
That pad on that thumb really solid grip help you control the face help you control the club much better in the swing and hopefully hit some nice shots okay guys the grip is so important I hope you enjoyed this video any questions please let me know and before

Preach Mate!! The first thing I look at in every lesson. Easiest thing for golfers to fix, but the most difficult for us instructors to get them to change.
Awesome instructions! I work on this allot, and I’m not sure I have the right hand completely right. I’ll get back on this and use your instructions. Thanks!!!
I always say to anybody who’s just taking up the game, get the grip correct and you’ll safe yourself a whole heap of pain and frustration.
Hi Dave, have you done any work on generating speed , professionals like yourself seem to effortlessly generate 100mph + with the driver . Just recently purchased a speed monitor, and I’m really going at it with all I have to get 90mph .. Whats the secret 🤐
Cheers Dave, been having issues with this myself but working on it!
Golfed for 30 years since I was 6… last 12 months I've really focused on grip, and will 100% agree it will impact everything. So many of us overlook it.
