Amateur Vs. Professional Golf Grip

[@GrantHorvatGolfs]

The only connection with the golf club! Hope y’all enjoy

[@Bonelesswatrmelon1]

Idk if you’ve done it before but can you do a video on stance and alignment for all different kinds of shots

[@ianprivitera9617]

Man love your teaching style! Strong vs weak vs neutral is the best way I’ve heard that explained! Gonna watch this when I go to the range thanks Grant!

[@Chris54321]

WHEN do you grip the club? Do you grip it then set your stance and alignment? Do you introduce shaft lean then grip it? Does it matter ? Editing 99 percent of the time shows just the moment before the swing. Please consider showing us exactly how you set up to maybe a 9 iron from A to Z. Thanks.

[@joshuasidley298]

You should tag James (the winner) here

[@booster412]

I need help taking divots and fixing my low point. I probably drop my back shoulder and always pick the ball. maybe keep shoulders square and get weight on left side? anyways a new set of p770s would also probably help so if james doesn't claim them, I gladly will😅.... Thanks Grant... your games been incredible, hoping to see you play pga event now that George is.

[@coozieray]

Great video. I’d love a wrist/hand rotation instruction video! To see the proper way to rotate your hands through the swing. Ties in with the grip so much and I believe it’s one of the most important parts in your swing.

[@binuuu6751]

Yes agreed. I dont understand the concept of flipping my lead hand/wrist over. I have the tendancy for my trail hand to be on top instead of bottom at the follow thru

[@Adam-mg8ke]

sounds like you are rotating your hands through and most likely play a draw if your trail hand is on top. To hit a cut or to stop turning your wrist over... think about skipping a rock with your right hand @@binuuu6751

[@David-jd8dj]

No one is a bigger fan of Grant than my girlfriend and I. We put every one of his videos up on the big screen and can’t wait to see that great smile and legendary smooth swing. I clicked on this video because the picture of the two grips he starts off with was my before grip. I have struggled for the last few years trying everything including going to a very technical 5 week school. This video literally fixed everything for me. Driver, chipping and unbelievable iron shots. Omg, almost got a hole in 1 with an 8 iron from 147yds. Thanks Grant and keep these tips coming!

[@michaelbarton5169]

I like that "open the fingers" alignment check. For me personally, I like the classic approach of standing behind the ball with hand by my thigh, the club butt nestles into my fingers with the back of my hand vertical, and then everything falls into place from there. Love your content. Cheers!

[@UncleT0ny]

used to do baseball grip until early this year; spent a few minutes a day, everyday holding the club interlocked. now it feels right

[@andy3949]

Having so much fun playing golf thanks to Grant and Rick. Im 40..... started playing again 2 months ago (last played when I was 12) and scored me a 92 yesterday at club day. Awesome result from hitting over 100 to start with.

[@Ayyyyyyyeeeeeee]

Congrats, you'll be around 85 in no time

[@murderedrs7]

what u shooting now

[@andy3949]

low to mid 80's! I forgot about this comment. Cool to see i'v made some progress! Thanks for asking!!@@murderedrs7

[@andy3949]

Soo cool looking at this now. I get upset scoring high 80's! I'm scoring mid -low 80's now. Hoping that one day soon ill break that 80!

[@JPfr1zz1e]

This tutorial is great! Thank you so much for explaining this so simply. For about an entire season my swing felt so unnatural and I couldn’t hit pretty much any shot consistently until I realized I was a silly goose and fixed my grip (which of course instantly fixed everything). Thank you for the awesome vid!

[@kirtperez8048]

hope you can do a step by step of building a fundamental stock swing. We have the grip here, probably do a vid on the setup next, how to do the takeaway, takeaway to top of backswing, downswing moves, etc...

[@2007farenheit]

Aye!! The first GH teaches video! I like it! The instruction is simple and easy to understand and follow. Looking forward to more of these! Thanks! And congratulations to James!

[@twiztidschwartz9292]

Just got back from the range and this really helped me. A lot of videos (and sorry if this is confusing) talk about the butt through the fingers and then resting on the inside palm pad. Maybe I was just misunderstanding but resting it on the outside pad really worked wonders. Best I’ve hit the ball in a long time (took a few years off due to work obligations). Thanks Grant!

[@ryanprobert5635]

10k already!! Grant moves the needle. Love the lessons. Keep em coming.

[@GolfIsSuperHard]

Literally had the GG Labs video for Grip open in a tab then just saw this! Love that it was your first video on this channel as well and I am finally gripping the club with the right hand better thanks to this! Can't wait for more content!

[@manbumps]

I always wondered why I hated interlock so much and why overlap felt so much more comfortable. Now i know its because of my big hands. That was great insight. Absolutely loving this channel.

[@aliddle07]

Fantastic video. Fixing my grip was the thing that helped me the most, specifically the point you mentioned about the grip dictating WHERE the club ends up at the top. Little adjustments to my grip with either hand can drastically change where the club wants to go at the top of my backswing

[@krisskrop6739]

Thank you grant just started golfing this year I live in Maine it's not exactly great weather for Gulf right now but watching your videos is going to help me get better I'm in my forties now and I want to beat my classmates that have been playing their whole life

[@fi_charlie9246]

This video helped me so much. I used to have a very weak grip, and could hit my irons pretty well with it, but couldn’t hit driver without slicing it about 50 yards right. Start of the summer, I watched this video and just decided I need to change something. So I stuck with it, and it took 4/5 bad rounds for the neutral grip to feel normal. I went out yesterday and shot a 4 over round (used to be off 11) - absolutely over the moon. Finally achieved a life goal of my handicap down to single figures! Thank you so much Grant!

[@AdamOutdoorsPNW]

Thanks Grant, you nailed it with this video. I’m new to getting back into the golf game and I was taught to use an old school weak grip and was slicing and chunking. With this new grip I have a closed face and solid contact. Thanks brother and congrats on your success with the channel 🎉🎉🎉

[@B.L.K.S_808]

Watching the video with you and Trent Daddy has been one of the biggest help to my game to date. G money, I appreciate you 🙏🏾

[@Hondaex-rp7oy]

Fantastic! Alignment and ball position should be next. For ball position go through every club in the bag for a stock shot.

[@BoostedRC]

Just started a few months ago and with basic baseball grip. I have large hands so I’ll practice the overlap tomorrow on the course.

[@texture650]

thankfully my cousin showed me the interlock when I picked up golfing earlier this year. I hit the range today and felt confident in my swing, and the grip finally clicked and I got some bangers. I also notice what you mean when you swing with your left only, it just feels nice and smooth.

[@bazinga1125]

Thanks for all you do. Helping me a lot.

[@blake-exe]

Love this video! Just spent weeks working on my grip. It is super important! Would you be able to do a lesson on the timing of the arms and hips in the swing? What moves first? Where should my hands be and how far should my hips have rotated at impact? I currently feel like I just release everything at once and hope it lines up.

[@jeansalazar1511]

Great videos Grant, thanks for the knowledge. You should consider a video on the way to correct the club face

[@tjk57]

Hello Grant, I've been enjoying your golf videos for a while now and I just now found your teaching channel. Im a 67yo guy who has golf horribly for over half my life. I was able to get my oldest son involved when he was in grade school and he went on to become the captain and mvp for his high school team. Ive had some health issues over the last several years but my love for the game hasnt faded. Thank you for this easy to understand lesson of the grip. I never knew the club was supposed to be in my fingers. I look forward to many more lessons. I'm trying hard to get back in shape to get back out on the links. My biggest problem besides the grip, is my inability to take a divot after I hit the ball. I've never been able to do that. so, if you could do a lesson on that I would appreciate it. I dont know if you have the time to read all the comments that we leave you, but I'm hoping you see mine. Thank you again for the great content on all your channels. Now I just have to get my kmart special clubs out of mothballs!

[@xDerekLFx]

Great to start with the basics. One suggestion for the future, if you can do lead hand/trail hand instead of left hand/right hand, it helps us lefties out 🙂

[@shawnmoose6119]

Just flip it lol

[@Flyfishdude94]

Lefty love!

[@vincentvanvoorhis6114]

Very thankful for your lessons…any chance you can get a lefty tutorial?

[@spatz813]

Love it. Always feel like I saved money every time you give a lesson or tip haha. You are a great tutor.

[@goggie47]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have definitely learnt something!! And it's gonna improve my game for sure!! I've always just used the baseball grip, but the interlocking grip I find has more pureness as you've explained and it's so much more stable!! I've only been playing for 3months and I don't score more than a double bogie now.. my driving has just come together and with your lesson it's freakin epic what the outcome will be!! I can just feel how my game is gonna improve, thank you so much!!!!

[@badgett1025]

Just starting out and hopefully this grip tip will help me out. Thanks for the teaching videos @GrantHorvatGolfs

[@Thomas..-]

Grant is always here to teach us things. Great content man

[@canalr1980]

Thank you for this explanation, my hand and finger pain was stopping me from golfing lately. This feels so much better

[@Cavenue]

I'm a total beginner. I've been playing for only a few months, and this video completely changed my irons. I'm so much more consistent now. Thanks so much, Grant!

[@BradBoonstra]

Awesome Grant! Absolute best golfer content out there, although no one is perfect you really run a clean program bro! God bless!

[@tylerwelker]

Just got back from the range fixing my grip. I had shoulder surgery 2 months after getting fitted for my first irons, and now 11 months later have had a deadly slice... never have I lost more balls and less fun golfing. My shoulder started hurting after 18 holes from hitting it too fat constantly. This weekend I burned through the palm of a new glove, so I knew something was wrong. After watching this and fixing my palm grip, my shots look so much better, and aiming feels much easier. I've been told by many people better than me that I have a good looking swing, but they've never told me about my grip. I took a sharpie out and wrote 'check your grip' on my glove to remind me every time that this is the most important fix. Time to start breaking 80!

[@7heFloridaDude]

I can’t say thank you enough. I switched to the interlocked grip you showed and I was hammering the ball all day straight as can be, consistently. You’re now my golf teacher, this was such a huge boon to my game.

[@AverageGolfDad]

So I wear a size medium glove so relatively small hands. After some lessons it’s a pretty solid neutral grip using an overlap. I have more club face control with overlap and tend to get flippy with an interlock.

[@davidbowser5534]

Great presentation Grant! This is going to be a very successful channel for you.

[@think9103]

Very helpful, thank you!.. please do more Videos🏌️‍♂️

[@russellmills2044]

Excellent explanation Grant. I’ve been doing this for years (more in the palm) I’m not a bad player at 8hcp. Despite many lessons, my grip has never been examined properly. I’ve been doing this for the past month and my game has improved dramatically, Thank you. Would like to see you do a vid on alignment please. Thanks Russ (uk)

[@hunterornot]

Totally agree with the opening statment. Grip is the most important thing in the golf swing.

[@jlutz63]

Great video, I will start implementing this into my swing!

[@grimsly4085]

Loving these videos keep it up very good for the average golfer and check ups for higher tiers as well!

[@jakesmith3730]

Would love a video on tips on have a soft grip. I grip way to hard on my longer irons but do ok on my shorter irons. I just can’t figure it out.

[@williamwhaley6556]

Great video. I have a friend who is a new golfer and he has that in the left palm wide open right palm grip. Slices and pushes horribly to the right. I’ve told him time and again it’s in his grip.

[@natemilleractual]

Your instructional vids are next level. Keep it up and thank you! I’ve went from over 100 to an 82…. You’re a Godsend. 70’s here I come

[@patmac104]

Love it! One question...No one shows the club face when a strong grip is used. Is the face CLOSED, or do you square it by rotating left wrist after you grip, then grip right hand? Thanks dude! (I hope that made sense)

[@Longarmshortarm]

Wait, so is it down in the fingers of the left hand, across the base of the fingers (as you showed at 5:40) - or is it angled so the grip sits on the palm pad of the left pinky, like you showed in the beginning? I've seen across the base of the fingers taught on other good channels

[@rigobertoprieto2904]

Thanks brotha 🙏

[@mmggppmgp]

Hello Grant. My 6yr old won’t listen to me and my dad about working on his grip. I showed him this video and he is now asking me constantly to help him with his grip. Keep up the great content!

[@jaxongolf]

Grant, grip of choice = Tour Velvet 1+1 wraps, logo down: did I get your order right? I run a small golf shop in Somerville, MA; stop by next time you're in balmy Boston! Jaxon Golf.

[@jaxongolf]

Second look: could be a Midsize Tour Velvet vs. Standard?

[@hkshadi]

best grip video explanation thank you very much!

[@davidneals]

I just picked the game up after a 10+ year break and got down to 15hcp since late June. My biggest issue has been inconsistency off the tee. I either hit it dead straight or crazy slice, and end up losing a ton of balls due to that. Since this video I've spent a bit of time working with this Hogan style of grip. MAN! It has changed my game exponentially. Played today and missed 2 fairways but only because I overshot them. Shot my first eagle after a 280yd 3 wood shot. AND I DIDN'T LOSE A SINGLE BALL! Thanks for this video!

[@kerry1727]

GRANT IS AWESOME 🤩 ALWAYS UPBEAT AND POSITIVE !!! Upstanding young man.

[@crisjameslopez7109]

This is true. It should start with the right grip. Thank you, Grant! Love from Philippines!

[@AbeBakir]

I've been playing golf for a year now. I needed this chanel :P

[@GrantHorvatGolfsTwo]

Glad you are here!

[@parfessor]

Glad I found this channel - I aced a par 3 this saturday on camera!

[@SamuelKim-h1f]

I'm sorry can someone clarify 2:50 for me. That camera angle change xD So the butt of the club should rest on that fat part of the pinky/bottom knuckle closest to the palm. But how about the left/lead index finger? Should the club rest on the fat knuckle part? Or does it go up in an angle where it touches the "V" part the hand to the upper knuckle. Also when grant says slight angle does he mean he holds the club in the 6 o'clock position or 7/8 o'clock of the grip, if that makes any sense. Thank You!

[@patrickwheeler7107]

Grant I feel before I went neutral I had to manipulate my lead wrist when I was gripping it weak or else I would slap my iron shot getting zero compression. Thanks for this video

[@codycordeiro9772]

Fixing my grip also helped me avoid blisters on my fingers. Swing really starts at the grip. Great video!

[@trusou1]

@granthorvat you should do a video on why it’s important to pick the right grip size bc you will compensate with how you hold the club

[@Kyle-rf5mb]

Can you do one next on the wrist movement? I haven't got to that part in my swing yet, is it necessary what's it do etc

[@donaldwilcoxjr.5212]

In the last 6 months you have become my go to KZbin for golf content...love your matches ...colabs ....etc. ....but super excited about your teaching channel ...and how your not just trying to help elite golfers but beginners as well....I have played for 20 plus years ...play about 2 to 3 times a week ....if possible ....the most relevant statement you just made is "you get what you put in " when it comes to golf ....and I think most importantly ...most of us do not practice the rite way ....maybe you could do a vlog on practice with a purpose.....most of us working class golfer are time limited ....so maybe a way to make hour long range sessions more efficient....instead of simply just banging a bucket of balls ....see that so much on the range .......

[@kurfewink1181]

Huge fan i have him in my top 5 favorites to watch and now he has a teaching channel can't get enough of this guys golf. Some would say there the biggest fans but I beg to differ let's see these guys put grant next to tiger and daily and rory cuz I do... GH my dude congrats on the success and the growth I can't wait to learn more and one day play a round with you I'm a 14 handicap right now still got some work... and this video help with the control of my drive tremendously ty

[@snoboyz3]

Took lessons over the years. Now working hard to be able to play golf the right way and put in a decent round. My current teaching pro not once has evaluated my grip (way off).

[@erikswanson3785]

Such a good teacher! Dad taught you well!!!

[@dahcargo]

I started to play golf almost 47 years ago and read "The five Fundamentals of golf" which was dictated to the writers by Hogan himself. Your tutorial follows almost identically with His and I believe that's why I was a decent golfer from the beginning. I'm watching you Grant, because I've watched your swing since you came on the scene as a KZbinr. I've always thought you had as close to a perfect swing as anyone I've seen! It doesn't hurt to have a dad who is a coach as well. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[@coinasourusrex1787]

what are you his dad's friend 😂

[@dahcargo]

I'd like to think I'm his friend in spirit, but I haven't met him, yet I recognize talent when I see it. @@coinasourusrex1787

[@joeschmoe2697]

Grant you can tell you have a patience for teaching, can’t wait to see more videos! Also, you caught something for me at 6:43. I would always try and have a “strong grip” but I think it was too much which caused my left shoulder to close. It sucked because I would try and square everything up with that setup and it was so frustrating because it’s basically impossible to do so (for me at least). Can’t wait to get out to the range and try these things out. Also, glad these are short and simple lessons that focus on 1-2 things. That’s really helpful because now I can go to the range and focus on two things and check myself with your tips. On other tutorials I feel like they teach a lot of tricks but don’t give you a way to self-check for any of them. Makes it so you end up at the range trying to incorporate 5 things with a limited understanding of each of them. Anyways overall thanks for the tips!

[@bentraill9050]

Yes grant! I wanted this grip video especially form you

[@JRounder87]

But why does interlock and overlap grip work best in golf? So many videos out there saying do it but no one explains WHY??? 😵😵😵 I've been using baseball for a few years now but am reluctant to change because new grips feel horrendous. 😞😞😞

[@daveyboy0245]

Love the new channel.

[@michaelparsons541]

Grant, could you talk about the long left thumb…like Colin Morikawa has. Where you can actually see the tip of his left thumb at the “v” of his right thumb/index finger.

[@erichurt9884]

I do the Baseball grip and it works for me. I can fade it, draw it , any shot really. I have a 0.8 handicap and play probably 100 ish rounds a year, simulator almost every day.

[@stephenbarthold1834]

Great Video Steven!

[@al1356]

Hi Grant great video. Can you please do a video on body release against hand release and which suits who. I really struggle with the body release but my coach is insisting on it 😂. Any help from you or the community would be great 👍

[@abidingdude222]

2:30 just groundbreaking insight LOL jokes Grant! Great video!

[@mrjackiemoua]

i have a buddy that uses a supra'strong interlock grip.. its almost 50degrees over the neutral overall. its very ovrewhelming to watch

[@donaldwood8574]

I would love to see a whole series of lessons, as if you were teaching a first time golfer, starting from posture, through grip, through rotation, etc... from beginning golfer to low handicapper.

[@ronaldlanman6585]

Grant, dumb question maybe, but is it the same grip across all irons, woods and the driver?

[@aaronrigg7289]

Hey Grant, top video! With the golf grip, how tight should we also be holding the club? Should different finger grip the club tighter?

[@gdo3510]

Grip tension should be like a 3 out of 10. Grip your club as you would normally and then hold your hands out straight in front of you with the club shaft pointed directly up. Relax the muscles in your forearms so the only tension you feel is now in your fingers/grip. Hinge the club shaft now straight down so that it’s pointed directly away from your chest. Stop the shaft when it’s now parallel to the ground and perpendicular to your chest. I’m order to hold the club parallel to the ground you’ll feel an increase in your grip pressure. Okay, now tilt your club back up to you so it’s at 45 degrees (right in the middle of pointing straight up and parallel) you’ll feel your grip required less tension to hold it in this position. This is the grip pressure you’ll want to use for your swing. Remembering to keep your arms straight and making sure to only use your grip to hold this position. You want relaxed muscles in forearms the entire time.

[@carloscarrera4083]

Thanks for sharing, Grant

[@paulscott3158]

Great explanation

[@tbates757]

Do you allow the club to hinge in the swing, or is your grip firm where it can’t wiggle or move at all?

[@devinturner524]

Grants the man! KZbin golf king!

[@simeonbrown3712]

It safe to say I had no idea how to hold a club before this. Tried it out today and shot my best round ever... you sir are a witch doctor who practices golf voodoo. Cant wait to see what you come out with next.

[@zekerankin5389]

Hey Grant I know you will probably make a video over the club path and everything. I just don’t think I have the proper slot/ club path needed to make a draw happen or vice versa. Can’t wait to get some more tips from the Grant Horvat.

[@brianjohnson8918]

I would suggest reshooting the LH grip portion. The camera positions were a bit obscured at times, and it would have been really helpful to see things from a camera angle facing the left palm, and to see the club on the hand before it closes. Even going so far as to show this in slow motion would not be over-the-top.

[@7heFloridaDude]

Great video! Subscribed. I can’t wait to try this at the range, I know for a fact this is what I’ve been doing wrong.

[@jvelez1998]

Grant, this is where you are at your absolute best. The match content is nice… the teaching content is seriously exceptional. No BS. Keep moving in this direction brother. It works 🙏🙌

[@DuoenoG]

Which dynamic golf shafts do you use?

[@AristotleAristotle-jf1jx]

I tried this in my last round of golf, and I must say I am a big big slicer. I slice the driver so much that I don't even use it. This grip fixed my slice in one setting.

[@darrellhall9885]

Well done! Ben Hogan would be proud!

[@grandaddy0807]

Been playing my whole life. I've used a baseball grip, overlap with putter. I'm about a 5 hndcp. For some reason interlocking feels so uncomfortable, I've tried to switch a few times and I feel like I have no face control

[@outlander234]

I also thought I would never abandon the baseball grip but now I am overlap(dont like interlock but it wouldnt make a difference). I have no idea how you are that good with baseball grip since with it its much more difficult to not flip the club.

[@grandaddy0807]

@@outlander234 That makes sense, my miss generally is my draw turning into more of a hook. Also approach shots are my weakness but honestly its all pretty even

[@roniealipio1207]

❤❤❤❤ you are amazing.

[@CadenMichnal]

Grant! My issue is I also grip the palm. Here is why though… Every time I grip the club in my left hand inside the fingers like you explains to. After I hit the ball on the fallow through part of the swing, my grip slides in my left hand right into my palm. This leads me to believe that although the “right grip”, the grip does not feel strong or stable to me. Any tips to prevent this from happening? So I need to rotate more after ball contact? when I get wristy with it/rotate forward it doesn’t happen. But when I have a firm strait for arm my grip slips every time. I don’t understand.

[@Knly-golf-grips]

Choosing the right golf club grip is very important, it will affect your stroke performance and comfort.

[@clarkbillups9042]

This video is fantastic Grant!

[@PudgyPrintz]

Man Grant you have no idea how much I needed this 😂

[@HBTFDawgs]

One thing I wish I could always see is gripping the club from the golfers pov (like from a camera on the front of a hat). But awesome stuff!

[@adrmz8982]

Do you interlock or overlap your fingers?
