I Wish Someone Had Told Me THIS About The My Grip | Crazy Detail 

Clay, the comment you made about "giving your blessing to use whatever grip feels great and gives you good ball flight" was very timely for me, thank you! Such great advice.

It has to match your body turn.

I have learned more from this video than any lesson or any other video. Thank you

Used to do this exact thing then switched to Jack Nicklaus’s grip he teaches in fundamentals. Dropped 10+ strokes a round now and it’s a much easier swing. For some reason, a strong grip hurts my back after a few swings.

I’m a lefty who’s a right handed player. This has posed challenges as I feel ALL my power in my left hand. Nada in my right (even tho I pitched righty). Anyway, this video gave me permission to have the strong grip people criticize. I just have to be mindful of the duck hooks while I fine tune it (particularly my right hand trigger finger and tucked elbow, both new practices to me). Anyone else have the same handedness issue as me?

One of the alltime best video's and should be the first video any new golfers sees...Great job

Hey Steve I have a question, what if you get a thinker grip cause I have bigger hands then most would it be the same for a string grip?? I was thinking of regripping for clubs

Best lesson you have given to me right here. Adjust the grip to dial in the ball flight. Nice!!

Excellent video Clay is it possible to have a slightly weak grip or neutral grip with the left hand and have a strong right hand grip ????

Thanks Clay & Top Speed Golf. I think a lightbulb just went off in my head. I’m continually pushing/slicing right. Can’t wait to give this a try. Cheers mate.

This is one of the best golf instructional videos I’ve ever seen… and I’ve seen 100s of not more.

I’ve found a strong left hand grip leads to an occasional hook. A weak grip with a bowed or flat left wrist eliminates that risk.

This is really great feedback. We hear time and time again that the “V’s” our hands form on the grip must always both point at our right armpit. Obviously not the case here. Like this flexibility and the recommendation that we can tweak grip to ball flight. Bravo!

When I play bad i feel like the grip in left hand is in palm what is cause of that?

Strong grip with more of an underneath release. 😉

I’ve changed my grip to a strong left hand and I hit the ball heaps better great tips mate 👍

Great examples and explanations, Clay. Love your grip test will try it to see if my current grip is correct. Cheers.

Recently went to a weaker grip and my iron play improved almost immediately. Driver off tee, different story!!

I was at the range today and just for shits and giggles, I tried hitting my irons with a bowed left wrist. I couldn’t believe how effortless and far it went. I think I’ll be trying this grip in a couple of weeks. Playing in the American golf festival in Vegas next week and I don’t wanna change it till after the tournament.

Hello Clay I've been a subscriber for many years maybe even before Rick Shiels I saw you today at a driving range the old guy hitting in front of you. If you witnessed any of my shots would you have any suggestions? Thanks recognized your voice right away

Find a grip that makes it easy to work the ball either direction. Fade, or draw. For me…. That’s somewhere between weak, and neutral. Basically Tiger’s grip. I’ll barely tweak it if I’m trying to eliminate one side of the fairway. If it’s wide open on the right, and OB left, I’ll purposely grip the club a touch weaker. Or vice versa…. Pond all the way up the right side, and no trouble left, I’m purposely gripping it a tad stronger.

I went to a longer shaft and strong grip it allowed me to do want you teach very easy

This might be a silly question, but I set up with a very closed stance and most weight on front leg , a Jim ventos set up , I listen to you and him , what kind of grip would you recommend ?

Is it normal to have a different type of grip for different club selections on a normal lie? What about on a uphill or downhill lie should you adjust grip?

Clay, what grip is wise to use . when you fade to slice with a driver, i go strong grip but with irons i pull hook, so i switch to a weaker grip. ive been going back n forth. its kinda annoying. which grip would you recommend. neutral ? or is it ok to do both different grips. recommendation.

This was a Masterclass on the grip. Very well done, Clay. 👍

Never thought about gripping it at impact to see what feels comfortable.

Another great video. Thanks!

I like the stronger grip It keeps my trail arm in contact with the body Than the weak grip bows the arms

I thought dj has a super weak grip with a huge bow in hi left wrist at impact ?

Great as always Clay!!!

Great video, Clay, as always. I've always felt that a strong grip is more powerful and gave me more confidence. I noticed how John Daly and David Duval could stripe the ball with a strong grip. However, I listened to too many golf professionals online saying that a strong grip is bad. So, I learned to hit with a slightly weaker grip just like Johnny Miller advocated. That is until I hurt my wrist a couple of times. This was due to hitting too deep into the ground off of a massive upslope. I learned later that the bowed weak grip is not a stable grip and may cause injury for those gougers like myself. I later came across some videos by Shawn Clement who advocates a strong grip. He talks about the karate chop (strong grip) being more powerful than the back slap (weak grip). It takes a little time to get used to the super strong grip, but, once it clicks in your brain, you will feel really confident with it. Would you recommend using a super strong grip with the putter?
