Great video to remember to keep wrists and arms loose for a good swing
I'll tell you something. In my humble opinion, your videos are simply the best golf instructional videos online. Everything from the actual quality of the instructions given, to the integration of graphics, and the pace of the content is extremely high quality. You clearly must put a lot of effort into it, and I sincerely hope it is paying off for you in terms of views and ultimately in revenue. 👍
Well done Chris 👏 😊
Unless you're Bryson…
That really is a great tip from you. Cheers Chris👍
Interesting – I've always understood that the club should be held right at the base of the fingers of the left hand – back to the drawing board
Golden stuff! Always something new and like no other coaches do!
Thanks for this tip. I usually do the mistake you just showed, so next time I'll try to put the grip more in my fingers and see what happens.
Holy cow! I have never been able to understand why I can’t get my club to finish on my shoulders and I do exactly as you said and kind of hold it off. I figured it was because I wasn’t following through properly, I would have never imagined it was because my wrists were too stiff. I’ll be testing this on the range tomorrow.
The biggest improvement in my ball striking is closing off that left hand and showing at least 3 knuckles and the right hand with the thumb across the grip to the fingers. I've changed it 3 times and now after a year or so I'm happy with it. I would say its a strong grip but you can still be loose and compress the ball and it stays straight. Thanks for more tips mate!!
If I move my grip into the palm it makes no difference to how high I can lift the club. If I turn my knuckles toward the ground and make my left hand grip incredibly weak as you did (but without mentioning it) then yes it does restrict my wrist hinge in the same way.
Great video. Like everything there's always an exception. Pretty sure Bryson holds the club in his palms and Tommy finishes short with his driver.
Very interesting grip review, looking forward to applying this on the range and course this weekend…wish me luck!
I believe it was Sam Snead who said he kept his wrists "oily," which you describe as "fluid." It really does take some effort and practice to keep the grip firm and the wrists loose, but that's what baseball players do as well as quarterbacks when they throw the ball. A good waggle with the thought of being "loosey-goosey" with the wrists helps. Watch a video of Jason Dufner to get an idea. It also helps if you breathe out before starting the backswing to keep the tension out. Thanks to this video, I realize that my left-hand grip is too much in the palm. I'm definitely going to correct that during my next range session. You did a great job of showing how the incorrect left-hand grip hinders a good whip through the ball.
Absolute gold Chris..!! Very basic, yet very important instruction.
I've lost count of the times I've stressed the vital importance of getting the grip correct, yet time and time I hear, it doesn't feel comfortable like that. It truly blows my mind.!! It's the very first thing to learn in the golf swing, get the fundamentals right and then learn to swing the club.
