Find Your Natural Grip for Great Golf Ball Striking 

I switch from strong grip to neutral grip this year. Do you know why the club twirl on the impact? I feel like I'm doing it wrong.

My pleasure, Gregor - I'm glad this grip lesson resonated well with you! By the way, here's a link to my FREE mini-course “The Top 3 Things You Need to Be a Great Ball Striker” in case you’re interested in learning about the swing system I teach in a more structured manner: go.saguto.golf/ Tom

Thanks Chris! Glad it was helpful!

Hi Edmund, I truly appreciate your kind words and your support of my instruction business!! I'm very glad to know that this lesson helped you to such an extent! The grip is our only connection with the implement that will contact the ball and cause either our satisfaction or frustration, and as such it is so important to get it right! Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work, and stay crispy my friend!! Tom

@@SagutoGolf I am enrolled in your Golf Swing Simplified. This approach to the grip is better than the one in the course. I have changed my entire golf thinking since being introduced to your method (KISS). Just as you, the transition was not difficult & my game has improved more than I ever thought possible. And it happened very quickly! Many thanks

My pleasure, Thomas. I'm glad to know that this lesson video resonated well with you!! Tom

Thanks - I'm glad to know that this video resonated well with you and I hope it helps!! Tom

I'm glad it helped you, knowledgeseeker31!! Thanks! Tom

Glad you enjoyed it, Jason, and I hope it performs well for you!! Tom

Happy to give you a hit of this groovy grip trip, man... 😎

If you say so, Glenn - but I'm more in the business of creating local legends at their home courses, and from your comment it looks as though you are indeed a freaking legend in the making!!....💪🏌⛳😂 Thanks for your kind words and support, keep up the great work, and have a blessed Christmas and holiday season!! Tom

Thanks Michael!

Excellent comment, Bob, and I'm glad you enjoyed this video! We are indeed all built differently, and that alone can account for many of the challenges we encounter when trying to compare our swing to others. As Arnold Palmer said, "swing YOUR swing". Cheers! Tom

Can't wait to see you John!

I appreciate that. A variety of grips work. The key is in finding the one that works best for you!!

Thank you, Thomas! Yes, you would treat a bunker shot just like that. You will place your weight forward and hands back - this encourages you to BLAST the ball out of the sand. Hands back - causes you to hit behind the ball. Weight forward causes you to dig into the sand more.

@@SagutoGolf Awesome tip!

Definitely, I have met people who have taken improper grips and have wrist problems or bruising at impact. It's painful. I suggest that you take the tension out of your grip first and then make sure that the grip is in the fingers of your hands.

I'm glad to know that my teaching style is resonating well with you, Preston. I am located in South Carolina, but I have phased out in-person instruction so I can further dedicate my efforts in support of the online school. I will, however, continue the V1 Swing Video Analysis lessons as they are instrumental to the progress of my school's members, and these can be done for any student from anywhere across the globe. This enables me to put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific observations and corrective action plans if applicable. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolf And here's a link if you are not already enrolled in the school and would like to know more about it: saguto.golf Thanks! Tom

Overlap for me because I have big hands. Smaller hands work well with interlock - this is all preference though as many golfers have demonstrated variety in this area.

He is hilarious.

Hi @jdschultz1230, My online school has grown to the point where it now commands the vast majority of my attention, and I must dedicate my allotted time for responding to specific swing-related inquiries to the school's students through our members community forum. I will continue to create quality content for my subs and visitors on this YT free channel, but my availability for replying to video comments here is significantly limited, and any swing advice I choose to offer in this medium is necessarily confined to responding to common simple questions. I sincerely hope you will consider the comprehensive, structured, sequential learning platform of my online school, where so many folks across the globe are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result. (I've done my best to price the school at a "no-brainer" level given the quality and effectiveness of the delivered product. Here's a link if you would like to know more about it: saguto.golf ) Otherwise, feel free to search my channel's most popular playlists below for the instruction you are seeking.

Yes, exactly! There are many different successful grips

It's definitely important to find that proper balance in our grip, John. Far too many folks pay far too little attention to their only attachment to the club. TS

Very good tip thankd

Yes! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3UyigCx8oOM.html

Thanks Jim - I'm glad you enjoyed this grip lesson video! Tom

It is important to understand that the videos, lessons, and drills on this free channel - while fully aligned with the swing method I teach - address a variety of topics, issues, and common flaws/fixes from one episode to the next. They are certainly not intended to be taken as a sequential learning platform like the structured curriculum of my online school, which I strongly recommend to anyone who truly wishes to get on the proper path towards learning and owning this swing. Have you given it a try yet? For just $10 US/month or $99 US/year you'll have unlimited access to a comprehensive members-only system for the full swing, the short game, and much more. The school's intuitive course layout greatly simplifies the entire process through succinct, step-by-step videos, and I'm constantly adding new content.

Correct, David - as long as there's no manipulation going on and you are truly allowing your arms and hands to hang naturally. Having said that, I would like to supplement the referenced episode from my channel's archives with this more current grip lesson that speaks to the tendencies and consequences of a grip that gets to be too strong: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EneeNS3pf-0.html TS
