I Wish Someone Had Told Me This About MY GRIP! (SHOT IN THE 70’s SINCE!) 

*This is GENIUS AND DEFINITELY a hidden gem that will get you the anti slice grip EVERY SINGLE TIME*

So detailed and well explained, as always! I will definitely be using this technique. Thank you again.

Excellent explanation. Will try this immediately.

Absolutely taught in the most basic fundamental way possible!!!

Thanks Alex for that video on the Grip

Great tip. I followed JT & Jordan at the heritage on Hilton Head Saturday a couple of weeks ago, and JT did that before addressing the ball a few times. Thanks for clearing that up, Alex. Keep these tips coming. ❤ 💯 👍

Great tip. Tried it and really like the results I got. Added it to my routine for each shot and eliminated my tendency to just grab club with left thumb on top. Once you get it, doesn’t slow you or others down.

Top tier instructions

I’ve used Adam Scott’s gripping technique for a while. It’s interesting that I believe that you’re the first person/instructor to give as detailed explanation of his grip for ordinary golfers. I have yet to hear if anyone has ever asked him how he came about to using this technique and why he adopted it.

Great information to ensure the proper grip.

I’ve never had a set pre swing routine and if struggled with wondering if my grip is right. This might help both and get me to relax and empty my head of all the golf thoughts running through it.

Love the slight fade!! Real nice….tell ya what, it changed my game for the better by 10 strokes.

Great video!

Great as always Alex, I will try this out tomorrow

Quality as always!! I’m going to try this tomorrow.

Alex enjoyed the video question can ask could you explain the takeaway for a bunker shot please.

Alex, just came back from the range. I was pulling the ball but not coming over the top. Squeezing the last 2 fingers of lead hand sure helped but I went to a strong grip and that worked wonders. Thank you.

One to try🎉

Very well explained - wish I could hit the ball that far off the tee - even over 200 would be epic!

Thank you!! I'll do it!

Hi Alex, enjoy your videos. I happened to watch this, this morning before I went out to play. I did do this the whole round, 14 drives 1 pulled one. The rest were much straighter and slightly longer than usual. Likewise with my irons. I'm not long hitter. I just cannot seem to work the ground forces and transition weight through. I'm all shoulders😂😂. Take away the ball and everything seems to work. Great tip, enjoyed my game today 89 with 3 lost balls. From Australia in Thailand. Cheers😊

This would be an ideal and simple Pre-shot routine (with the addition of target and flight selection when behind the ball)

I saw Adam talk about this 10 years ago during a tournament. The television crew was making a point of it. It works every time. I have just forgotten about it. Thank you.

All your videos are excellent. I particularly enjoyed your video on driver set up and hitting through the ball. Could you show how to adjust the ball position as you move from driver through the bag?

Hi Alex, great content! One question I have for you, at the very beginning of the swing, do you try to start with the hip open or neutral or closed to target? I feel like there is benefit to start with the open hip, but I am wondering if this is a “power leak”. (This for irons and drivers)

I used this grip method for the first time and had my best score in a long while - Great video as always Alex.

279?is that carry or total? I've been practising the John rahm driver set up you did in another video and carry seems to be similar but overall distance was around 270...way up on previous, plus switched to the Wilson lp2 driver which has cured my slice

Love the hi Vis vest Alex! 😂 If you could do something about dealing with tension in the swing that would be great!

Thanks!

Deffo trying this one tomorrow on the course

I used this today along with the John Daly’s secret of gripping down on the on the club!! Excellent tips!!

Excellent tip Alex on a Adam Scott technique for getting the proper grip on the golf club. I have seen Scott do this on numerous occasions during PGA events. It has always intrigued me as to why he went through this process. Thank you Alex for clearing this up for me. I am going to try following your suggestion of this 5 step process! Well Done Alex!!!

I put jumbo grips on my clubs perhaps 20 years ago. My game improved by several shots per round. It was like swinging baseball bats. MUCH more control. Highly recommended.

It works good

The game is hard enough without taking 5 mins to grip the club before every shot.......plus try to remember all this with 3 other people staring at you.

Alex I started using this today and I would like to thank you my drives were further and straighter now I just need too pick up more speed

Well this seems like an interesting new thing to try out. When you do stage one with an iron, is it just the toe on the ground like you did with the driver so that the shaft stays upright? Or should the head be more level on the ground?

Can’t wait to see my golfing buds confused look at me doing this on the first tee. Third grip video I’ve seen this week all saying theirs is the right way and will fix things, very confusing, think I might resort to grip and rip it and dispense with the on course swing thoughts.

As a new golfer, what equipment do you recommend getting to train at home?

Does it get any simpler than that?

Great video how many hours per day do you practice

Can use this setup for your irons as well.?

looks just like Ben Hogans grip (lesson 1 in 'five modern fundamentals of golf')

OK... a question. I am 72, recently retired, taking up golf again having not played in 10+ years, not that I ever played well. Videoing my swing I see that I get an adequate trailing hip turn in backswing. Going forward my hip turn stops at address position as club contacts ball, then starts turning again after ball leaves club face. While practice swinging I get a full smooth hip rotation through entire sequence. I even have belt buckle at 45 degrees to target at contact, if there was a ball there, but when actually hitting a ball, the belt buckle is straight at the ball and stopped. What can I do?

So you dont interlock Trail hand little finger and lead hand index?? Just looks like you rest it on?

Another way is to grip the club from behind your front hip with head resting on ground. Can be a little easier for some people to align face with grip

So a two and a half knuckle lead hand grip with V on trail hand points to trail shoulder - as recommended by tens of thousands of pros for decades and decades?

This should be lesson 1 for every golfer.

well, yes. a player should always hold the club with their left hand; and, look at the ball, as they step up to the ball. it sets the head and the hands in position; and, pressure on the ground with the right foot sets the hip back and gets the hip turning. it may, also, help to position the left hand in a high position, as you place your right hand on the grip. this enables the right elbow to position itself below the left elbow, at address. and, crucially, the left hand should be in a high enough position to make the necessary downwards rotation of the hand, in the waggle, that hogan advises in five lessons. he, also, tells us that the backswing is just simply an extension of the waggle. so, it therefore follows that the takeaway has an added dimension to it. the area around the extensor digiti minimi tendon, in the left hand, makes the downwards rotation of the hand; and, this creates the arc of the club. the club is then returned to the ball by pressing in with the wrist joint. the heel pad of the hand etc. resists against the wrist joint and the two react against one another. in the waggle, the digiti minimi and flexor retinaculum work as antagonistic opposites. that may sound like unnecessary terminology; but, it is important to remember that the digiti minimi and the flexor retinaculum are connected. when the heel pad and the wrist joint react against one another, as the club is returned to the ball, in the waggle, it adds an extra dimension: both the digiti minimi and the flexor retinaculum become fully activated. in the takeaway the area around the extensor digiti minimi presses forwards, creating the arc; and, the wrist joint supplements this by pushing back. the area around the digiti minimi is fully extended when the club is max left, towards the top of the backswing. the wrist joint completes the backswing by pushing back. and, of course, there is no danger of the heel pad pressing too far forwards in the takeaway. when the flexor retinaculum is fully activated the area around the extensor digiti minimi can't press too far forwards in the takeaway. the biggest problem is that it is quite difficult for a lot of golfers to position their hands in a high enough position to create downwards rotation with the left hand in, waggle. but, there is a simple little trick that a player can keep up their sleeve to enable the hands to be set in a high enough position. just simply use the weight of the club to press the handle against the heel pad of the left hand.

Do we use a different grip for irons?

What happened to the Vardon grip?

A perfect example of making something simple harder than it needs to be. This is what constantly happens with You Tube instructors.

This is essentially the same grip ben hogan recommends in the 5 fundamentals of golf. It also helped me get rid of my slice.

Not everyone is built the same, or swings the same, I've used a strong grip for years and I have been a 4 handicap for years!!

I do that with my trailing hand. now I have to work at it if I want to hit a fade.

Let's slow the game even more. Har Har Har

ok

Would this technique also work with your irons???

You should be.an expert on THE GOLFING MACHINE BY HOMER KELLEY if you want to understand all answers to any golf question.

Literally just me questioning every grip I just played today 😢

A suggestion: Wear dark shoes. When you show us the straight down player view it is Difficult to distinguish your glove from your shoe because they're both bright white. See time mark 2:11 as example. Changing the color of the shoes (or the glovel so they contrast would eliminate this. Again thanks for all your videos.

Going through the elaborate routine will take a LONG time per shot. Not in my foursome. I would be all OVER anyone that tried this.

My biggest problem is lifting my head. I think it's because I lose so many balls

Simple, repeatable, and one less thing to worry about in the swing,

This doesn't work if you have short fingers! I know from experience!!

Leaky Slice.
