Thanks Peter, I’ve only just realised after 25 years of golf that gripping the club correctly with the right hand has given me more power and definitely straighter shots. For me the thumb on the left side of the grip has made a huge difference! Look forward to our lesson on Thursday 😀
Love it, Peter. I wouldn’t anticipate many hits on this video because you are not advertising how to drive the ball 300 yards. Of course in truth you are doing just that. As your instruction here is an integral part of the whole process of building a correct golf swing.
I'm impressed! I've been searching for something to fix my right hand grip. It's always loses control. I checked my grip after your video and indeed u were right. My right forefinger Knuckle was UNDER. I made the change and now it feels secure. I love it. Thx Peter. This video may revamp my swing.
This is a very good lesson. I've been trying to focus more of my attention on my grip to improve my ball accuracy and distance and this video HELPS a lot! Most of the videos I've been watching have focused on the Left hand in a strong position which is accurate as well. When I finished watching this video focusing on the righthand, it like made a huge impact on my swing pattern. Its a repeatable swing. The right hand acted as described as the trailing hand and it became easier to focus on the left for power and guidance. Thank you!
I just started holding the grip with my trail arm with my finger tips and holy crap what a difference .. I totally feel and can control the club better now and the balls are going a mile effortlessly.. I’m gonna try this style next time I’m at range and see what happens.. the whole time I was listening to everyone on RU-vid saying to put it in the base of your fingertips and I was struggling like hell and making me frustrated.. thanks for this video and info sir..
Moving my right hand as you directed transformed my consistency. Less than an inch of right pointer knuckle movement made a world of difference in my game this weekend. Thanks!!
Hmm, interesting. I've been noticing that moving my right hand slightly counter clockwise helps with compression but was struggling to work out the "correct" position. This tip with the knuckle may help make my grip position more consistent so will give that a go. That knuckle has definitely been under the grip for me up to now. Thanks for the video.
I know my right hand has always given trouble, but your video definitely gives me 3 check points to look for. I have been trying out this evening to try to get a little use to it before my friendly game tomorrow. I have subscribed ❤
Great explanation Peter on how the right hand properly grips the golf club. When I grip the club, I am always aware of the "joint pockets" on each hand and the "trigger" finger of the right hand. This definitely gives me the needed wrist flexibility to add power to my swing! Good Job Peter! Keep up the good work!!!
Peter, great video and explanation. I’m using a baseball grip, my left hand is reasonably good, I struggle with the right hand. You mentioned the pocket, this feels odd to me and my right hand ends up sliding around so I can grip more tightly. I thus have a tendency to hit left, I am so obsessed with my grip everything else can fall apart. ☹️ Can you advise any practice drills I can do at home, as well as the muscle memory I need to build up. Love the channel. Simon
Hi Simon, he more you place your hands on the club the more quickly you’ll get used to it. Also practice making short swings monitoring grip pressure, ensuring it doesn’t tighten, especially on the takeaway.
Thank you for showing which finger joints to place the club in the right hand! I have tried different grips and was never sure what was correct. I just tried this next to my desk and it feels great! Can't wait to hit for real with it. (I'll check your left hand video next, thank you).
Great video, it's the little things isn't it, you could put a great swing on it but if the setup isn't right it's not happening. The knuckle and finger I try to imagine a question mark...helped a lot. Thanks 👍
Thanks for these tips, Peter. I worked with you many years ago at the Mirage GC Pt Douglas in the Proshop.. Tom Fielding and Keith, were your assistant pro's. I'm playing off 3 these days at the age of 60...lol
OMG, I’ve been fighting a flip hook for two years; I moved that right knuckle behind the grip (from under) and presto!!! Thank you! I felt something was wrong with my grip but none of the pros picked up on this important little detail. Can you pls elaborate a little further on how to switch from a strong lower draw to hitting a high fade with med (789) irons? Thank you again!
There might be another video in my response. Essentially the difference is in swing path (mostly) and clubface. It is also harder to hit the fade with shorter clubs than it is with longer ones.
Oh sorry I just realized that you explained this works from the driver to the chip shot...I can't believe you just solved my problems and I believe thousand more golfers out there
Yes, this is correct Bobby Jones had a strong lead hand position but in the fingers and his right hand was what you are showing, all four steps. My own left is probably considered neutral but that right hand in the correct position adds touch and speed. Ty
Interesting but I never heard you say anything abut the impact on the flight of the ball. Is this supposed to prevent hooking the ball with a strong right hand turning the club over too soon?
Ironically I just saw a Moe Norman video where he said he did grip in the palm of the right hand as it gave him more control. Not that I'm going to do it. However I do like the idea of the knuckle behind the grip not under. I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip
Hi peter i watched your video im struggling to hit driver in the air all mu shots go along the ground or only just in the air is it because of that knuckle being underneath rather ghan behind? Also i think my right hand goes is in a weak position with fingers any tips on how to fix it?
Do you ascribe to have the crease of the right elbow pointing up? If the right hand is vertical, this is difficult. For the club to fold up at the top, what should I do?
Yes. Each elbow points to its respective hip. You should have sufficient rotation through your forearms to achieve this. Most people can rotate their forearms through about a 180deg range.
@@PeterKnightGolf The problem is I'm nursing a tendinitis that I'm wondering is related to turning the forearms or hands wrong or both. Sound familiar? Lateral epicondylitis.
Hi, you may be able to help. I am right handed but play golf left handed so my dominant hand is my lead hand. With most golfers it is the opposite. I struggle to square up my club face on contact with the ball. Is there any help you can give me?
Hi Edward, I’m a left handed person who plays golf right handed, so I have the same advantage as you. Squaring the clubface should be about allowing the clubface to rotate sufficiently at impact. If it feels forced you’ll be inconsistent with clubface alignment. This video might help ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PY4vKEdPPIc.html
I generally keep a loose right hand. Yes, it provides the power.....but all the control and stability is in the left hand. My right hand hardly grips at all...and I do the overlap grip. The thumb and first finger grips...and rest is all loose. Even then, right hand just provides power and controls swing path.
Ive never felt comfortable with my right hand grip. All videos say have the V'S point to the right shoulder which my nuckle underneath. Im gonna try hitting with your grip even thoufh the V is pointing toward my chin
Grip is not a fundamental. Look at all the top pros of the world, they all hold the club differently. There is no ERROR. People need to quit talking about the grip like this, all you're doing is giving them complexes.
Agreed grip is HUGE fundamental. Everything else is about manipulating swing around the grip to square face. For most people neutral grip is ideal. Unless you are Dustin Johnson and use a strong grip and bow it to hit fades! Yes pros have outliers but in general most have neutral grips that enables then to shape shots in both direction. Grips also applies to both hands, you can have a neutral left and strong right hand (which can mess things up). Best to be neutral with both hands.
@@PeterKnightGolf 100% is NOT. From Jack to Bryson, Wolff to Moe Norman, Trevino, Palmer, Snead, Hogan, etc etc - there is NO fundamental to a grip. Go look at all the grips of the top 50 players of ALL TIME, you would be caught for telling porkies there are so many different kinds of ways of holding the thing
@@TheOtherKinehi screwy mate, I think he is suggesting that for most there is an optimal way of gripping the club that will not encourage compensations further throughout the swing. Well that’s how I understand it. Take care and enjoy your golf 👍
