Like many others, I'm revisiting this years after first seeing it. Virtually all my improvements in the interim have been from unlearning my super high aggro crush grip and incorporating the concepts that I gleaned from here. Thank you for compiling this and putting it up for free. I don't know where I would be if I didn't come across this channel

@JustDefense Год назад

Thanks I’ll try it

@myst8217 2 года назад

Went shooting last night for the second time with my G45 and was consistently low & right (lefty), the RO saw that I'm squeezing more than pulling so he let me know that. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can learn from this video. I'm 6min in

@asav1976 Год назад

Man I love how you tried to aggregate all these perspectives from real experts to logically connect the dots and allow people to figure out how they should work to improve their grip and overall shooting competence. Well Done boss!

@billalumni7760 Год назад

I know this video has been around for a bit, but I just found it. So incredibly right on everything. I never could do the really strong grip and have any accuracy. I have been drifting towards this method as I always wondered how kids that were under 10 years old could rock a competition and I know they didn't have anywhere near my grip strength. So thank you for filling all the finer points!

@MiamiVice. 2 года назад

This video was my first exposure to this channel. I come back to this periodically as a refresher, I've watched it at least 8 times by now. I've recommended it to many people looking to improve their pistol grip & recoil management. If there was a 'Criterion Collection' for firearms related content like there is for movies/cinema, this video would need to be included.

I love this. I keep remembering my LE career and I never had the feeling that I was pressing really hard, but I was very accurate and pretty fast. Years and years ago I read Brian Enos’ book on shooting I really liked his approach. This has been really good for me four years after you made it. I’d love to see more and more and learn what you’re doing now that may be different.❤ Great content. Thanks for being interested and doing something to improve others.

Very helpful video, especially now that I have Talon grips on my P-10F (great video on that as well, btw). Tried the front-to-rear concept at the range today, you can feel the clean, vertical pivot as you shoot, clear improvement, very cool, thanks for taking the time to provide such detail.

@replacesoundboard Год назад

Small update about myself: I realised I was making a mistake in the way I was gripping: instead of gripping with the hand itself, I was actually using the fingertips to apply pressure... which means the hand itself was really loose, making the handgun very jumpy between each shots. I doubt anyone else would make that same stupid mistake, but I thought I would share all the same.

@travispowell2471 5 лет назад

So for the past couple of yrs. I have sort of been experimenting with this very thing. Not by choice really. Had horrible carpal tunnel in my right hand, and lower grade carpal tunnel in my left. So as the condition worsens blood flow to the hands is restricted. Therefor I had atrophy of the muscles in both of my hands. The large muscle under my right thumb is visibly much smaller. So as the grip got weaker I had to try and compensate by really working the elbows and wrists. Oddly enough I advanced up the ranks of my chosen drug/game (IDPA) quite a bit. I think this is why I like my Steyr soo much. It helped me with control due to the grip angle/deep beavertail when I was struggling with grip. I still hold very firmly but not a crushing grip anymore. And It really believe it helps with trigger speed. My .02.

Super interesting; I'll try some of these techniques at the range this week. As an older guy, I have always used the modified Weaver stance, but I'm going to try this since I've now acquired a 'dot' gun ( needing bifocals sucks), so we'll see how that goes. I like the format. Thanks for the video.

@iam1smiley1 5 лет назад

I took a clinic with Ron Avery and asked for more info on why he thinks the "pliable grip" works.... He told me that when the hand muscles are overly tense, they don't "conform" to the grips as well and you lose surface area contact points. He explains stuff really well but that's basically what pliable grip comes down to. Also using the chest muscles to help hold.

@TheHumbleMarksman 5 лет назад

It makes all the sense in the world and I am jealous I haven’t had a class with Ron yet

@philp411 5 лет назад

Ron is a master with his knowledge on pistol shooting. There is so much about grip: not just what your hands are doing but what your wrist and forearms are doing, how you squeeze into the gun and how your chest engages. Pliable “sticky” hands, Ron also advocates grip strength and worked with very heavy captain of crush grip strengtheners as well as heavy rubber bands that cause you to extend your fingers out. Stance is also a part of Ron’s style that works with grip.

@RohannvanRensburg 4 года назад

This especially makes sense when you're using granular or otherwise "grippy" tape on your pistol.

Exceptional and great lessons in this video! Will put this to use while dry firing and range training. I also battle with being cross eyed dominant as a right hand shooter. As of know my method to combat this is to present my pistol under my left eye while keeping both eyes open and not tilting or rotating my head. Not as consistent as I want to be but seems to be getting better.

I'm prepping for my first match and that front to back pressure makes perfect sense as explained by these professionals. I've been subscribing to that crushing the grip from the sides and it's working okay but I know there's got to be a better way. There's too much wobble when I do that, and I feel my speed is limited. Can't wait to get to the range and try this alternative method of gripping. Thanks Dave, for providing this kind of content.

@shaka2608 5 лет назад

Just what the doctor ordered! The video format is excellent. I had watched Ron Avery's videos before and they make a lot of sense. If you watch his recoil control and accuracy it clearly shows that this method works. When I started shooting I used to use the push pull method - I stopped using it and noticed my accuracy suffered a little. Definitely going back to it after watching this video. JJ Racaza also advocates for the push pull method. With my support hand carpal tunnel issues it is good to see the top shooters state that one doesn't have to grip the pistol with all they've got. Thanks for sharing. I'll incorporate these lessons along with the other tips that you had given to me.

@TheHumbleMarksman 5 лет назад

Thanks for putting this insightful grip analysis together. Hearing each of these top marksmen describe in their own words their version of the grip then subsequently identifying the common elements of this soft hands concept from each does really help to facilitate the sensation of what I should be feeling with this more effective grip style. I do struggle with the phrase "ROLLING the elbows out". I assume that is a lateral move~?

@TheHumbleMarksman 3 года назад

Rather than pointing your elbows at the floor- point them almost at the walls

@ohenry4834 2 года назад

I just had my gun recently, and a small guy, and been looking for a lot of videos and seems pretty much not convincing on helping me because most of this people are beefy so they can have the luxury of strength to manage the recoil efficiently, but when I heard of Hwansik Kim his idea of managing recoil it seems pretty much convincing and helpful to me. So I will try to follow his suggestion and hope it bears fruit. once again Thank you for sharing this video it helps a lot.

I’m very double jointed, so should be easy right Pops? Ummm, yeah right, lol. Very interesting the way it helped the kid hold on. Also, the looser grip with the joints locked is very interesting.
