In order to play your best golf, you need to learn the proper golf grip. This means you need both the left and right hand in a neutral position. This tip explains the grip in a close up format so you can follow along. Whether you're a beginner or experienced player this is the best golf grip for both distance and consistency.
Free samples from my Body Swing book and video series here: bodyswing.com/freesamples/
The reason for the neutral grip vs a strong grip is so you can have loose wrists when you swing. The looser your wrists, the more clubhead speed. If you are someone who has a strong grip but you keep hooking the ball and are inconsistent, you should definitely give the neutral grip a try.
Most people who change from a strong to neutral grip don't give it enough time so they go right back to their old grip. In my experience, it takes placing the right and left hand on in a neutral position, then without moving them, hit about 30 golf balls in a row with the ball on a tee to make it easier.
At first, you'll hit thin, pushed and sliced shots but by repeating it consecutively, you start to get used to the neutral position of both hands and get the ball back on line hitting it much straighter than you ever have.
To learn the proper neutral grip, please take out a club so you can follow along as this video is shot from your point of view in step by step format.
This neutral grip does not change as you change clubs. So your driver grip is the same grip you will be learning in this tip. All clubs (unless you're hitting a specialty shot) have both the right and left hand in this neutral position.
I know it will feel uncomfortable but you need to stick with it. If so you will learn the neutral golf grip and see the advantage of it in the future.

@JACKBRUNET 3 года назад

I like a lot of your lessons but I disagree with the grip having to be neutral for the fact that everyone is built differently. i play off 4 handicap which is not great but ok but I have tried everything and I always come back to a slightly strong grip. I have seen countless videos on grips and the come down to the conclusion of wherever your arms hang that's most likely be your grip style be it strong or neutral. I like to hear your thoughts on that , I am always open to ideas, theories and thoughts on golf but I never believe everything I hear till after I have tried it out.

@NonnyStrikes 3 года назад

@@JACKBRUNET True. But if you focus on comfortability right away, you'll be doomed. Everyone can do neutral. It's a lie if people say it's not possible. It's not a death grip, which is what 90 percent of people do.

@anthonyK5493 3 года назад

Thanks very much. I need help as I have a tendency to contract my arms shortening the length of my swing and altering the proper swing plane. In many of my swings, I feel like that I'm chopping down on the ball. Secondly, my posture gets too far forward. I'm exhausted by the end of the round. Certainly not effortless golf.

@MrKillahippo 3 года назад

@@JACKBRUNET 4 H/C NOT GREAT!!! that makes my 9 H/c Horrible... I agree with you on the grip,, I have a strong feel grip due to my nerve damage in the left hand,,and can't have my left hand be over lapped in any way with my right, so I have to use a baseball grip,,, that feels like a strong grip and as the R/hand is lower just a tad more so is my R/shoulder .that give me a draw, not always a controlled one. I've had to and still am finding my body swing, with bad back and all. I can still hit long.If I don't want the draw I push it straight right..If I try hitting straight, I draw.. it's a constant work in progress, still get on in two,, it's my putting that keeps me from my goal of scratch.. and I have had scratch when my swing is on song and my putting seems effortless.. you being off 4, I'm sure you have had days where you were, under the card..and bad day when you got that horrible 9

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

My thoughts are I teach a neutral grip so you can have loose wrists and no other flaws or compensations in your swing. Strong grip and loose wrists you will hook every shot. So you need a flaw or compensation to get the ball on target. This means you need to practice ... a lot to get the timing. How do I know this? I had a strong grip and I could never take days off. I like things simple. If people want to do a strong grip and practice a lot I could care less. I have other stuff to do so I like to not have to practice and still hit 80% fairways.

@crapsaddict2309 3 года назад

I’m not a person that comments on videos, but I felt inclined to share with you. I recently started playing again in mid July after a 15 year layoff and have had many struggles with consistency. I’ve watched a lot of videos and this one is the only one that has provided results like this! Driver, iron, or wedges. It doesn’t matter! I hit two buckets yesterday and have never been so encouraged by the results with anything. 85% of my shots from two buckets did what I was trying to do with the golf ball. Thank you so much! You’ve made a believer out of me and I’ll definitely be sharing your channel with my friends.

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

That's great. I will keep promoting the neutral grip no matter what anyone says. It gets way better results as you can testify to.

Thanks, Paul! This is really a superb video. Just what I needed. I had a (very) strong grip for a long time. Never realized that this was the reason for a lot of my former inconsistant shots.

I love your videos and the way you teach. Kind regards from the Netherlands!

@lizbriscoe5732 2 месяца назад

This has got to be the most important tip of all Paul’s tips for me and the last one I discovered. I was doing the loose wrist body swing with a very strong grip and getting lots of inconsistencies . I found this video and recognized how different my grip was to Paul’s. I went to the range and after about 10 or fifteen balls it clicked. I can not believe how such simple issue had me so screwed up. It feels like it shouldn’t work but it does and I am slowly getting used to the feel of the new grip. I would encourage everyone to compare their grip to the one Paul explains in this video.

Paul Wilson keeps delivering more and more with his constant instructional videos. Thanks again Paul.

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

Wow, thank you! Have people not heard the line "it all starts with the grip." Been around forever. Unfortunately, most want to take short cuts. Throw a strong grip on there and hit a couple of hooks thinking they've got it when really it was luck. When I do something I do it right. At the point of getting it you can experiment to see what effect something like a strong grip would do to their swing then assess if they should keep doing it or not. I don't teach bandaids. I don't beleive any cannot learn the swing I teach. This is why I do what I do. Thanks for the promo. I truly appreciate it.

Very good. And some people wonder why I repeat it. Glad you get the reinforcement.

@jasonvanboesschoten6680 3 года назад

@@paulwilsongolf went to the range. And oh boy. First off, the grip felt weird at first. Almost 50 balls later i started to get a bit use to it. It helped with the hinging and unhinging I was not doing before. And was working on swinging with full extention about 1.5ft In front of the ball instead of trying to hit the ball. That was the hardest part. But when I got it all together, it was such an effortless swing and I put my 7i 165 carry and my driver 230 carry. That is at least a 20 yard gain on all my clubs. Even my LW was hitting 85 yard carry. You have the best instruction videos out their by far.

@bhafcseagull 2 года назад

Paul although I am left handed I could follow your instructions easily, I must have watched 30 + grip videos but none were as clear and concise as yours. I was heartened to learn that because I’m predominantly right handed in life and this hand being my stronger dominant hand this will in fact assist my left handed golf game! As soon as winter turns into spring I will be in my garden using your grip tip. One day I hope to visit Vegas again from the UK and when I do it would be a pleasure to book you for a lesson. Many thanks

@paulwilsongolf 2 года назад

Glad you found me and glad you like the tip. I just thought this view would be great to show exactly how to do it. Yes, if you are left handed playing right you have an advantage due to the top hand being stronger. Usually if the bottom hand is stronger the person (me included) will pull it back to the inside. Definitely keep working on it as much as you can so it's comfortable. With the new grip on also do this drill too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6ZeTqcz2pmE.html

@ronreid5182 3 года назад

Paul, Your lesson on the grip is by far the best I have experienced. The grip has played a significant part in getting my arms from controlling the swing. My body can now work as intended. Making a change to grip does take time and patience. Slowing down my swing a letting my body take over was very helpful. This was a game changer for me. Thanks, Ron

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

Glad you liked it. It all starts with the grip. It does take a little getting used to if you have been doing it wrong. Just see it as a hinge. So no matter how uncomfortable it is, you want to do it to allow the wrists to hinge and rehinge. Once you get this, yes, you can work on the body. Keep at it.

@TerpTrader 3 года назад

Thanks Paul. I was taught just the opposite with the club going across the fingers of the left hand and across the palm of the right. When you stated that could cause cupping of the wrist, you are exactly correct. I fight that cupping at the top all the time. I’ve been fighting that dang right hand for years too. It dominates my swing causing the the ball to go high and to the right. After watching your video I grabbed a club and in my living room did some half swings and the club face squares up now. I’ve also been a interlocking grip person but after your explanation I can see where it can also create some issues. Looking forward to going to the range and hitting some balls. Keep up the great videos.

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

Very good you see it. This is going to be a game changer for you. Keep getting used to it and you will never grip it any other way. Glad you changed to overlapping too. It's rare if anyone does that interlock right. They always try to wedge that pinky in there too much.

@brentehler9906 2 года назад

@paulwilsongolf 2 года назад

Very good. Glad you decided to make the switch. I have some bashers on this one board that don't seem to agree. Oh well, if they want to hit tons of balls that's fine. I have other stuff to do. I literally haven't played since August. I went out the other day and missed 2 fairways by yards and that was just cause I tried to kill it. When I had a strong grip I couldn't take one day off. If I did, it would take me a week to get it back. People seem to think this is my first rodeo. Glad you are on board.

@kevinbrown7900 3 года назад

Incredibly helpful. I was terrified to try this at the range last week since I tend to slice even with a super strong grip. But I figured I would take Paul up on the 30 balls. I was in disbelief from the very first shot. Never hit the ball this well. Straight and many had the compressed feeling I've been chasing forever. Hooked on your videos now - thanks Paul!

Great stuff Paul, I'm from the UK,I was taught this grip in my first ever golf lessons 25 years ago, instructor always said it would feel wrong but the ball always went straight and far even with a half L to L swing. I will grain this into my head now, love the loose wrist videos too, I always hit driver better with no tension in my shoulders, but it's so hard trying not to wack that ball, suppose it's a man thing, thanks for your videos, been a big fan for many years great work👍👍⛳

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

@cs7065 3 года назад

Yo Paul! Thanks for the tip, I used this method and had an awesome round of golf yesterday. My grip never felt too confident at the top of my swing. Using my pointer finger to cradle the club made a missive difference. I ended up hitting my first eagle on a par 5!

@paulrhynehart1996 3 года назад

Really helpful video. I have been playing for over 25 years but in recent months I was frequently turning the club over with a severe right to left flight. I realised I was holding the grip in my left-hand fingers rather than across my palm as a direct result of viewing this video. Went to our driving range today with a basket of 60 balls - huge improvement in consistency & ball flight. Thank you Paul!

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

@teddyr549 4 года назад

@@paulwilsongolf Not a great first day. I was hitting the ball all over...some pulls, topped duffs, left to right low bananas, and some high slices and fades. I have to have that grip perfect, I lost the grip on the club a couple of times during the swing. I did have some good shots though when I really concentrated on hitting with my body with a relaxed grip. I think my hands were rebelling and trying to find a way to go after the ball(as well as gripping too tight which may have caused some tension). I'm going to give it another try tomorrow.

@paulwilsongolf 4 года назад

Great! You are making a change and you hit some great shots. That is what is coming in the future if you keep working on it. Just keep mastering the grip for now. Tee it up and just keep hitting shots holding on but securing your grip and loosening your wrists. You will get this in no time. Then keep working on the swing. I would also do the grip at home a night. Put it on while watching TV. Take it off for commercials. Then you get used to the feeling and it stops feeling uncomfortable.

@bobfindley6949 4 года назад

this was very informative and goes well with the other videos. these videos have been a great help in my revamped effortless pain free swing. :-) not sure when i be back down in Vegas (Covid) but when i do i will get a time slot, and hopefully just a few tweaks will finish the journey.

@RalphBarton-fishing 3 года назад

So i mentioned in a previous video a week or so ago the success i was having trying to switch to your style golf swing after playing for 30 years with a not so great swing.. I mentioned before i always had a strong grip and swung hard. Well about a week ago i watched this video and adapted a more neutral grip but kept the interlock and still, especially with my short irons, my miss would be kind of a pull hook. well yesterday i said heck with it and before my round i was swinging the club with the overlapping grip in my yard and you are right i hated it and thought it felt horrible.. (oh and im one of those left handers that plays right handed). But figured what the heck lets give it a shot at the course whats the worst that can happen... Now off the tee i'm the 250 to 260 guy with roll. Yesterday it rained for about 2 hours prior to our round, so it was wet and soft. First hole with the new grip, i striped it right up the middle and really even though i didn't get much roll cause of the wet conditions i was within about 10 yards of where i normally am.. Long story short my drives with the grip in this video and some of your other tips,would have been longer i think, but more importantly my drives and irons were much straighter.. The only "bad" shots i hit were holes that i was afraid to miss left. And not trusting i'd hit it straight (2 times with irons and once with driver) i aimed a little right and guess where i missed..... out to the right.... still in all shot my best score in league play this year a -1 35 last night.. Still a work in progress but so far so good and i like that at 49 years of age i"m not having soreness in my back and neck

Thank you Paul, this is ultimately the very best explanation as to why we need grip the club in the manner explained. Every other instruction I've ever browsed misses the point of the need to weaken the strongest hand in the golfers grip. Once explained the average golfer latches onto this very important piece of information & retains same for time. You're a champion, Cheers - Greg

@paulwilsongolf 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. I thought this would be a good view for everyone. It all starts with the grip. I don't see your hands as hands and wrists as wrists. It's hinging mechanism that allows your wrists to hinge and rehinge. It needs to work as a unit. Glad you see it.

@WyattScott 2 года назад

Another great vid Paul! After 22 years and lately alot of research I’m finally employing a neutral grip as you teach here. Ridiculous game changer. Never understood or had the wrist hinge until now. Most importantly, I wasn’t putting the grip properly along the 2nd pads of my trailing hand, or the fingers always was using the 1st pads, doh!. Holy shit I get it all now and with this new proper grip I now have I can do all the other wonderful things like using my body instead of my arms and hands. Last week i’ve hit the best shots of my life by far and consistently. I can use all my clubs now especially driver

@bobpower8411 Год назад

Hi Paul First I want to thank you for all of the great videos. Secondly I did watch your video on the neutral grip and have been using that since the golf season started up here in Nova Scotia. Big difference in having control. I did watch the the videos on using your body not your arms. Not until today did I really try to do that. It didn't happen on every shot, but on the ones I used my body more, those shots were really good. As well my back did not bother me at all today. It does feel effortless. I'm here to tell anyone who is reading this that this works for anyone, any skill level and any age. Someone told me today that this is the way the pros are going. Since most of them are in great shape anyway, this will only extend their career and take their game up a level. It works. Make it a goal this year by August you will be doing this consistantly. Thanks again

Once I made it simple it was game changing. Grip and set up for sure. Coil/uncoil. Hinge/rehinge. Turn your arms off completely in the downswing. Watch your ball. I will tell you exactly how to fix your own swing if you hit a bad shot.

@paulwilsongolf 10 месяцев назад

Glad you liked it. It all starts with the grip. With a neutral grip you can have loose wrists without hitting huge hooks. The wrists hinge and rehinge. A hinge is loose. The looser it is the faster it swings with less effort. Then you attach this arm unit to your body which is coiling and uncoiling.

Yeah, I definitely don't like that strong grip. The best of all time never did a strong grip so why would I teach it to anyone? Sure, there are some pros that do it but they are pros and spend all day out there hitting balls getting the timing. As you found out it's much easier on the body too! Keep doing it and just see your hand and wrists as a unit that hinges. Looser the hinge the faster it swings.

Glad it was helpful! So many people have a strong grip. So many people struggle with this game. Hmmm maybe there is a correlation. AS you found out it doesn't take long to get used to it. Once you do you it is so much better. Overlap is good too. I don't like the interlock because people sacrifice comfort of the pinky wedged in for the position of the hand. If you can have perfect bottom hand placement while doing an interlock I am okay with that grip.

@paulwilsongolf Год назад

Great. When people aren't comfortable with the grip I have them see it another way. The hands and wrist are not hands and wrists. It's a hinging mechanism like the hinge on your door. The hands are one flap of the hinge screwed onto your door in a square (neutral) position. Your wrists are like the metal bar on a hinge. The grip is secure. The wrists are loose.

Straight and far, compared to what I normally do. Woods and irons. Thanks so much for this video! This really has made a night and day difference for me

Glad you liked it. Thanks. This is where it all starts. Be sure to check it regularly into the future. It's easy to let this slide. If so, you will lose your swing because you will have to add other flaws or compensations due to a faulty grip. It's all about the fundamentals.

I've just got back but never got chance to try it because I'd decided to follow your 'Neutral golf grip' first. It took a little while to get used to it, felt awkward as I'm used to interlock. I also start to practice 'The Wrist Release Drill'. After about 30 balls I started to relax, then 'boom' 🔥I was creaming my Irons and hybrids down the fairway. Both these changes most definitely changed the way I hit the ball. Thank you for you videos, you are without doubt probably the best tutor on RU-vid. 👍

Yeah, you gotta start with the grip. This is how you're attached to the golf club. Make sure your grip is correct, then the set up, then start working on swing positions and drills.

@DavidKantorMusic 3 года назад

Paul - this tip is absolutely genius. The idea that the left hand is in the palm and right hand is in the fingers.... didn’t even take 5 balls to get it and feel comfortable and confident. I am in awe of the simplicity and surprised that the grip isn’t a larger point of emphasis when analyzing the swing. If the grip is off, the rest of the swing doesn’t stand a chance. I am so excited about this, thank you for sharing. All the best.

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

Glad you see what I am trying to do. Got to balance them out. Once you do, you can hinge and rehinge. Glad it didn't take you too long to get a feel for it.

HI Paul, great video and in-depth analysis. I tried this on the course last night after some warm ups in my net and hey presto, a draw! My (anyone's) brain knows where the club face is, hence my strong grip caused all sorts of path problems as my brain tried to compensate for any flaws in a panicked attempt avoid excessive shutting of the face at impact. This creates tension in the arms and swing. The inevitable outcomes for me were a shut to open face to path delivery and either a push slice or a slice with Driver. My coach has been asking me (over video, part of the problem) to open the face at address and keep it that way to enable an open to shut face to path. This grip change makes that move make sense and much easier to achieve. After getting used to your grip when I stood over the ball I felt like I could produce the shape I wanted to without really thinking about it. This is part of a progression of 18 months of swing work and coaching and the end result of the draw shape is a testament to that. However this grip change is like a glue that has brought it all together along with narrowing an over-wide stance recently. My brain quickly worked out where it needed to be in terms of path delivery in order to ensure a square clubface at the ball, and the bottom line is, it felt much more natural with this neutral grip than with my old three knuckle strong one. I am willing to bet this meant a shallowing of the plane too, and I enjoyed your video on that as well. Keep up the good work.

Very good. Glad you found the glue. Make the swing so much easier. Keep at it.

Glad you enjoyed it. It all starts with the grip.

Foret my question! LOL I should have watched to whole video...Great video once again! Thanks.

No worries!

This was the last piece to the puzzle. I did the exact thing you're showing with interlock. I couldn't figure the damn reason why it was so hard to cover my thumb. I started playing around with overlap grip and it helped a lot, this just confirmed it. Thanks again.

@paulwilsongolf 3 года назад

Very good. I will be doing a tip on this in the future.

I'm a left handed golfer and thanks to this video i realized i was gripping my bottom hand (my left hand) completely wrong. I had a bit more neutral grip on my right hand (two knuckles) but i soon realized i was strong gripping the heck out of my bottom hand. Im at home but doing a few swings with the proper neutral grip felt so much smoother. Can't wait to hit the range and practice with it, it feels so much looser and easier to swing

Nice. It's great when you figure it out.

Great information, thank you! Try it out on the range today and everytime I hit the ball it goes straight with the driver, irons even the wedges as well👏👍👍
