LOWER Your SCORE EVERY TIME - ESSENTIAL GRIP GUIDE 

Thanks, just found your Instruction- your explanation is in detail but at the same time understandable with regard to one’s swing.

Brilliant….. so much more than the ‘show 2 knuckles at address with the v’s pointing at your right shoulder’….stuff that is taught.

I have been playing golf since I was a young talker. This is the best explanation I have ever seen or read. Thank you.

Probably the best explanation of the grip! First video I have seen and subscribing for more. Thank you

G'day Stuart. Changing my grip to your strong version in the fingers has transformed my game. I've been stumbling aroungh for forty years and finally found "something" that has given me a new lease of golf life. Thank you for your candour and persistance with this.

STU ... you have absolutely helped me mentally and your explanations of the golf swing has helped me drop strokes and i dont feel like i labor on the course.

Brilliant Stuart, so fundamentally important....eye opener 👏

This is the best of your grip series videos and your presentation is getting really good.

Hi Stuart. Great video, the most comprehensive take on the grip I’ve seen. Must have watched it ten times over now and am working hard to implement it as best as possible prior to my session with you in October. A big change from what I’ve been fighting with for 25 years !! BR Dave

Mate... this is my third video of yours. Best visual feel breakthrough I've had in years. I'm a self-taught player and manage pretty well, but I have not had swing command or confidence in years. I score the same as 20 years ago so I know I'm a wiser player now, but I play safe and frustrated. I miss going after it and flushing it. I thought Malaska was the answer and chased inside out, dropping hands, bow the left wrist. Nonsense. Stay grounded, maintain the inside, pull the handle into the swing and square the face with the forearms. Through impact, maintain the inside, rotate forearms keeping the face parallel to the path by breaking down the left wrist. Wow!! All the lag I want...throttle up with the legs and pressure into the ball. Damn...well done.

Just came over from the Monday live. Great information, thank you.

Not boring, best grip video i ever seen and enforces why i have been using a strong grip that is exactly the same as yours. Everyone , over the years, been telling me its too strong but i never changed it as it' s the only grip that allows me to release.

Great topic Stauart, I remember the time we spent at the start on the grip. Stayed with me however this is another level of explanation and answers the why.

Another great video, I learnt so much from watching this and will probably watch a few times again! I had my left thumb almost in the center of the club, I will definitely roll it more to the right and I'm sure will make a big improvement! You explain and show everything so clear! Thanks again!!

Well said, grip is so vital to a good golf swing. Not enough people recognize it's importance nor do enough people talk about it's importance. Thanks for doing so. Cheers.

Very well explained. Thanks

Brilliant!!! I started pushing down on the handle to start the takeaway and I'm now striking the ball crisper and so much further.

Great explanation, I've got a lot to experiment with there. I never realised how much each hand cancels/helps the other. I push the ball right as a bad shot, so will definitely be getting the club more in my fingers. Top job. Thank you.

Hey Stu. Hope you’re well. Great video. As someone that is getting back into golf after 20yrs and was taught the thumbs down grip this has helped so much. No more left bias….. Mike

I've watched a huge number of golf teaching videos in recent years and even though the topics you cover may be topics I've seen many times before, I always learn something new and useful. Great explanation.

Good grip video. Never seen it told quite like this before.

I was placing the grip lower in the fingers so the pad on my left hand was not creating as much stability. Amazing how it makes the swing feel so much better!

Never seen anything like this. And I am talking about your whole website... Intelligence spicing up the facts makes for tasty (not testy...) science. Best on the web. BTW, your strong grip leads to a cupped wrist which, in the opinion of more than a few, is a to be avoided - there even seems to be an actual trend (since DJ and now John Rahm) towards wrist hinge. Thanks for clearing everything up.

I just want to say that I changed my setup because of you, and it was/is wonderful. Specifically, I concentrated on making my left (lead) arm an extension of the club shaft. Previously, I had the hands more in the middle, and I found it difficult to get/feel really square at setup. I hit the ball worryingly straight today. 😂 And with pretty good authority. Not every time of course. But I got to that point that we all want to get to, which is that there will be some misses, and there's no getting around that. But they're not soul-destroyers by any means. I think I have a bit more leg flex at setup than you'd like, but one of my mistakes is not getting the legs active enough, so there's that. Just a bit more flex than I saw you put that client into seems to encourage more energy. Carry on, please.

think we need an update on grip. hopefully something with closer shots to the hands. cause in my opinion its Grip and body to ball position the main key of all. Thanks for amazing videos.

Amazing so much detail and perfect sense, hopefully I can remember all this when I go to the range

Love this! Make so much more sense. Going to take this to the range. What should I work on after this? I have been labeled an over the top swinger. Playing a strong fade/slice. Thanks for the great content.

Got it Stuart. With that pad of the left hand on the grip. That club shoots up real vertical with a hinge so easily. And if I pull out in transition towards the ball… I can now feel like I can almost get the clubface at the same angle I had at address. By pushing down on the handle with the left pad. The club always feels up and out for the whole swing. Never handle raising

Food for thought and practice , i have totally destroyed the tendon that pinches my left thumb ( golfers elbow) and tend to be left with long irons , im thinking i may be a little to tight on my last three left hand fingers probably because i used to palm grip and im very conscious of getting it into the fingers , this is definitely somthing im going to play about with 👍

Thanks

excellent

I watched all of your grip videos and was hoping you could clarify if my assumptions are correct. Is it correct you tend to promote a strong left hand grip with the right hand grip being the one to vary to manage the face? Or do you also believe the left hand grip needs to be adjusted between neutral to strong based on shot results? I will say that your approach to the left grip with the last 3 fingers looser and left arm pushing down definitely helps to create a natural hinge in the backswing. I have struggled a lot with that in the past.

I've just been trying this grip in my simulator. It's hugely different from my normal grip, which is relatively weak, but with a lot of wrist bow. I hit a high draw with very low spin which is pretty effective. This grip forces a completely different swing with the hands low and inside and the clubface swinging out to the ball. I get a lower ball flight generally, but still very low spinning. I don't have access to attack angle, but I suspect mine is very low, possibly even positive. Anyway, I hit some monster 7 irons, one of them out to 187 yards. My normal is maybe low 160s. That one spun at under 3000 rpm and landed too flat to be useful but I've got a lot more to try with this grip. Very interesting!

Hi Stuart, really enjoyed the video. Having issues with a really painful base of my left thumb whenever I swing a club. Right hand seems to be putting a lot of pressure into that area. Any idea what I could try to solve this issue? Thanks

I have watched the grip series parts 1 & 2. Is there a part 3 in the series. Or which video is next in the series.

This is a must watch. Just looked again. One question, I experimented with allowing the left hand thumb to slide downand to the side and no pressure. it appeared to allow me to drop the club head easier at the top of the backswing, the pressure on that thumb appears to have a big impact on the outcome. Any views?

I watched many of your videos and learned a lot and maybe this question has already been answered, then I am sorry. But I would like to hear your ideas / opinions on the pros and cons and/or the effects of the size of the grip itself because I never really understood what it means to have the correct grip size. For example Bryson and Peter Finch use oversized grips on all their clubs despite not having the largest hands of all times and I am wondering what people could benefit from "too large" grips and what people would actually harmed by that.

Question. I have arthritis and unrepairable torn tendon in my lead left thumb. It is great to know I should not place my lead left thumb on top and down the grip because any pressure from my trail right hand on top of the left thumb is very painful. Can I grip the handle in your strong grip as you demonstrated and place my lead left thumb more under the grip to avoid pressure from my trail right hand?

Great input as always! Question: I am right handed, where should my right thumb be? It tends to be on the top of the grip. Should it be off to the forward side of the grip a bit?

I tried Grip #3 this afternoon and with the driver, I hit very long drivers, consistently. Long = 260 to 270. I am 71 and my long driver are usually 235 to 240. The drives were low fades, almost cut fades that rolled and rolled. But, with the non-driver clubs, I pulled everything, grievously! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Clarity!

Question! The right hand at impact feels solid when I can feel the pad of the right hand strike the ball. Do you have a similar feel?

So many pros including Rory have a weaker right hand but coupled with a strong left hand. What’s going on?

Only now am I beginning to realize the impact of the grip on everything else, what are your thoughts on where the sole if the club should be at address and how grip effects it. I’ve heard quite a bit if advise that the toe should actually be of the ground and you should not try and get the sole flat or parallel to the ground?

Hi Stewart, I have a question about this. I'm a big guy, 6'3 with large hands so i'm using jumbo grips. When I follow the guidance in your video I can see almost 4 knuckles, but when I apply pressure to the pad, the club pitches up vertically in a straight line. Is that what we are looking for or have I exaggerated it too far?

Worked out ok for Nick Faldo.

Hi Stuart. Maybe a naive question but why don’t the pro’s (except Fred Couples) use a strong grip ?

With a strong grip the face is closed at address, so I turn my arms to the right so face looks square, and left wrist cupped at top. If I try to keep flat left wrist at top face Points at sky. I hold back on downswing so ball doesn't go dead left. Any suggestions

Bore me!? I'm intrigued!

Hey Stu, i am a person who has been looking at gripvideos for most part of instruction i have searched for, but at 8.42 it seems like you demonstrate it more trough the palm in a straight Line (not the lifeline) but it is not either demonstrantet at the base of the fingers or diagonally across the fingers here. It is not even demonstrantet to be at the pads of the fingers but actually bellow the pinky PAD and bellow the forfinger PAD, is that how you want it? Just trying to be completly clear😅

I am confused, do you want the last 3 fingers of lead hand to be grabbers or releasers?

Can’t see the ball path or your hands
