Hey everyone! My assistant is back! Savy and I have a great series of videos coming at you for great reviews of our past videos Dating from 2006 showing you just how much we have polished that pearl! It is such a blast to do this with my girl, I cannot put into words just how proud of a Dad I am!
What is really great about what we do is that because we have covered the bases on how we function mentally and physically as humans when it comes to motor skills and we have this amazing solid foundation to spring up from, we don’t waste time fluttering about one contradictory theory to the next, we keep going deeper into the rabbit hole and polishing what works and what we believe in our gut and bones will work. We got this, and we will continue to work hard to make things easier for all of us to grasp and keep moving us forward.

I stumbled onto this video last weekend (looks like it was just posted a day or two before I found it) and it has changed my game dramatically. I was always using a common, more weaker grip and then wrestling with cupping my hand at the top of the backswing... and then dropping my arms to get into the slot... and so on. It has been mentally difficult to piece everything together consistently. I had someone I played with once say to me... "I can't figure out if you are an 8.. an 18.. or a 28. I watched this video and made notes and then went to the range Saturday and I couldn't believe how dramatic a simple grip change could be. My left hand (I'm a lefty) is on the left side of the grip with my knuckles pretty much pointing down. I take a nice backswing with a good back turn and swing down like his video says... like you are swinging a tennis racket or hammering, and I'm making great contact. My ball flights this weekend where much more consistent both length and accuracy. One of the byproducts of this swing setup is it keeps your left elbow (if you are lefty) down and your arm more connected. I think the grip change is the main reason, but also I'm benefitting from that arm naturally staying more connected. Played Saturday and Sunday and on both days, the shots were going straight and high. The sound of impact convinced me that my club face was getting excellent contact. It was drizzly and cold (gotta love golf in the pacific nw) when I played yesterday but I had a big smile on my face. Shawn... I can't begin to thank you for posting this video. Amazing to think I was one grip change away from playing much different golf.

[@golflessons]

There it is! So happy for you man! Now you know why over 70% of players on tours around the world have string to super strong grips! Now you have felt it for yourself and the next chapter of your golf has just started and I am stoked for you brother! 👍😀

[@Sashasaccessoriesandstuff]

That is me too. I am a lefty player too but do most things right handed. The coin drill really helped my contact now this has my alignment straight, shots flying at the flag, and best of all if I do turn too quick I have direct feedback with a big old draw down the right rough. Can't believe a super strong grip(right top of hand almost vertical up) gives this. Every lesson the coach has tried to get me to square the club via subtle things. This has me with a nice baby draw even with wedges into the green. No second guessing my shots anymore. Thanks to you and Savannah.

[@stevecon3951]

I am a 60 year old lefty just started golf couple years. I have been watching you since I started golf and I use your swing ideas. I set up just like your daughter, control and carry distances are good with irons and hybrids but I struggle a little with my 3 wood and a lot with my driver. Looking forward to more videos thank you.

[@quoostonator]

Went to get my shafts assessed the other day, so an iron fitting format. Pro sees me set up... He's a little put out. I say, "draw setup, lemme warm up". Says, "just hit it straight". Me: "there is no straight, just flavours of draw or fade." Bang, bang, bang. Draw, draw, draw. Says, "hit me a fade". Ok, fade, fade, fade. Some pure strikes in there, 7 iron carrying 170 yards for the draw, nice and relaxed. Says, "you don't need anything from me, off you go". 😂 Pure joy, thank you Shawn!

I have played baseball and softball and have always struggled with playing golf since I started playing 5 years ago. During that time I have taken lessons on a consistent basis through Golftec and other instructers. It just felt like a racket like this doesn’t feel natural. I have played baseball, softball and football throughout my life and what I am learning about the golf swing doesn’t feel right. Seen your videos and now I am killing that ball nice and straight most of the time. Just need to keep practicing. Thank you

This grip is the real deal. Set it up with dynamic thinking and just trust it will be square when you whip it through. Unreal results today! Thanks guys!!

[@harleybluesbiker]

Welcome back Savvy! Thanks for sharing your reality as I find in encouraging as I am having a similar situation. In terms of the strong grip and grip to face is where I am looking for help. Recently, I found that with the short game I am better with a more neutral grip. When I used a strong grip the club face is actually closed to much and the ball goes to the right. I think sometime my issue is alignment and not the grip. I would like to see a video that clarifies grip to club face and alignment.

[@michaeldelahunty1227]

Shawn Savannah. Watched these videos, went to the driving range and started bashing the balls with my old grip. Same result; slice and miserable distance. So I tried Savannah’s grip & Set-up with the hands forward and bam...it’s like the man beamed me down a new golf swing. Got to say it just feels so right, so comfortable. I just want to go swinging the golf club all day😂. Thank you so much for your videos. Lefties paradise...😃😃😃

[@bubba4541]

You two just reminded me about the strong grip. I used to have that then some how got away from it🤨 been working on it in my basement (live in so. West Mich) got snow last night but got some good temps on the way! Can’t wait to try it. BTW great idea, you two joining up. Fun watching Savy improve. I might have to get the golf channel back when she makes the LPGA tour!!!! 👍

[@golflessons]

Awesome Bubba! Thanks!!👍😀

[@biskygiver]

From my observations I have seen people make the strong grip/weak hands, arms relationship. At the same time, I see players who have a dominant side, and for myself that would be the right side. Thus to prevent the right side from interfering with the downswing, a strong grip helps to facilitate this by allowing the right side to be more passive. I believe this helps players, especially those who don't play routinely as they would like.

[@Nupe3588]

I like what you said about starting with the club face closed, then take your grip and swing. I took a lesson with a company that taught me to try to hood the face/bow the wrist on the backswing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's distracting because it's one more thing I have to think about while swinging the club.

[@golflessons]

THE SOUP OF THE DAY!!! Hank Haney was the first guy to tell people to now the lead wrist because most would have too open a club face. BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN HE ADVOCATED A NEUTRAL TO WEAK GRIP!!!??? RED FLAG!!!! The key is to be able to throw the club towards the direction you want the ball to start and have a GRIP CLUB RELATIONSHIP that does not need to be FARTED AROUND WITH DURING THE SWING which would be a major distraction from your task of delivering to the target with authority. Well over 70% of the grips on tour are STRONG TO VERY STRONG TO VERY VERY STRONG.

[@moojersey3]

Good idea bringing Sav to this channel. Youth and female involvement 👍👍👍

[@jeremeywhite9369]

I love what you bring to the game, "Dynamic movement" "Kinetic Chain", all things I have taught my fitness clientele for years. I have played Baseball for 34 of my 39 years on this planet and love golf but have the worst slice!. I implemented this "Strong, dynamic grip" and all of a sudden I was long and straight. the problem now is I am long and straight in the wrong direction. How do I fix this? Stance? Less grip change? Should I aim for the other fairway? lol

[@robertscibek4600]

Hi Shawn, great video (per usual). I've been applying your methodologies and techniques to my swing and have seen great results. One problem I am running into is not finishing my swing or turning my wrists over and making contact when the face is open and pushing the ball far right. I think this is because I am too focused on cutting the dandelion stem and leading my hands through first. Is there a good drill to make sure this doesn't happen?

[@johnsterman77]

I’m confused by this. Is it a strong grip, or is it a neutral grip with the club toed in? Or are you saying they’re the same thing?

[@golflessons]

THEY ARE THE SAME THING!! THE CLUB FACE IS AN EXTENSION OF THE ARMS! 👍👍👍

[@johnsterman77]

I’ve been playing golf reasonably well for 35 years. This toed-in position at address would mean that at impact the back of your left hand would have to be in a slightly upward position rather than directed at the target. I tried it with a few practice swings and, though the club face seems square, it’s the weirdest feeling. I completely get the concept, but I don’t think, after all this time, I’d dare hit a ball on the course this way.

[@golflessons]

@@johnsterman77 if you cannot predict what will happen, you cannot take it to the course; that is for sure! Worth a try on the range for a couple sessions first though!

[@kenroxburgh3229]

Shawn is really the best golf instructor. All others are lost to simple athleticism and stuck on techniques that simply don't work..

[@atxrich]

I've watched a lot of golf instruction on various media the last 10+ years and have applied some of it to my own golf swing to varying degrees of success. For whatever reason, the visualizations and swing techniques you present on this channel really clicked with me. So much so that today I was puring my 7-iron like I'd never done in my life on the driving range. I'd never felt so giddy hitting golf balls on the range and I can't wait to take my new swing thoughts to the course! Thank you so much for sharing your time and wisdom!

[@golflessons]

Great stuff. Really getting some great results with the driver. With the irons not so much so will give this drive a try. Do you have a rule of thumb for closing the face as shown in the clip. Looked like 30degress.?

@13:50. And actually, the lefty face-on swing is perfect for the right-hand golfers to watch (since it's like comparing/checking on the mirror).

[@joeperez3520]

I'm pretty sure I've seen a video or read an article where it's shown with super-slo-mo cameras that elite (tour pro) golfers who have a flat or bowed lead-wrist at the top are actually just starting to enter a SLIGHT cupped extension position at impact.

[@dalewalton1987]

[@ROBOTWORKMAN]

"Bliss on a stick!!!" Compression is a great feeling!!!

[@kenmcclintock8734]

Good video. I normally try to bow wrist as you described. Will experiment with stronger grip and closed club face. BTW it appears that Savvy's ball position is very far back in her stance. Is that the case and if so, please explain. Thanks for many great videos and instruction.

[@golflessons]

Hi Ken! She is hitting a draw where she is aimed at the target and playing the ball back of center and releasing left of target to bring it back.

[@jcjbike]

Ken... I made this switch last weekend and my club face isn't closed. In fact, my irons have offset to them (as most game improvement irons do) so at address, there's nothing even remotely "closed" about my swing. I posted this before and I think it has some merit. One of the byproducts of having a strong grip is it makes it easier/more likely that your trail arm stays connected to your body. (no chicken wing) If you are right handed, extend your right arm out like you are shaking hands, and then turn your wrist counter clockwise until your hand assumes the same position it would with a weak or standard grip on the golf shaft. (able to see 1 or 2 knuckles) Notice how your right elbow subtly went from pointing down to pointing out just a little bit? Now, from that position, turn your right hand clockwise to how it would look with a strong grip. For me, my knuckles on that hand are pretty much pointing down to the ground. Notice what happens with your right elbow? It points down and your arm seems slightly more connected to your body. Where golfers lose power and accuracy (at least one of the ways) is when the arms become disconnected. (the chicken wing experience) Shawn is right... that grip is conducive for good (easier) ball contact, but I think that grip has at least one additional benefit related to staying connected.

[@REALDEALGENX]

I love your channel! I am curious... I have been practicing this entire Winter and making relatively consistent contact with all of my irons. About 2 days ago, I started hitting to the right portion of my net and it's happening on a lot of my swings now. I feel like, despite the consistent rotation and weight transfer, like it still happens way too much. I almost don't feel confident swinging the club because I feel like despite trying to keep my club face straight that it's either coming down too open or I'm hitting off of the hosel like a shank. What would cause this sudden "shank-like" condition? I almost want to quit because of it. I'm so frustrated.

[@golflessons]

[@MrGCline]

I notice that your daughter plays the ball almost to the inside of her back foot. One of the things that I have noticed when I play the ball back of center is I hit the ball very high. I mean high enough to cause rain. I am still hitting the ball farther than before I changed to your method but have noticed playing into a good wind I come up short. Am I hitting the ball higher because I am coming into the ball at a steeper angle? Also is your daughter's ball position a result of her very strong grip. Thanks for the great videos. I played some of my best golf toward the end of the season here in Indiana. Hitting the ball great. Can't wait to get to Florida here in about three weeks.

[@vvwalker7261]

Hi Shawn, at 3:20 you talk about Sav having 4 knuckles showing, how does that compare to your grip? I am wondering if that would be too strong for a man.

[@ToddCiehomski]

Good job. Great swing. Shawn I've been playing around with my grip lately moving to the stronger side of the spectrum. I'm struggling a bit with my release now and hitting some blocks and pushes. What type of grip pressure is Savannah employing on the 1-10 scale? Would you say the stronger grip necessitates an exaggerated relaxation of the wrists?

[@golflessons]

Very secure grip! The hands are like a compression chamber through impact which makes the ball leap off the club head and delivers top ball speed for her club speed.

[@mslu62]

For left handers and a grip that strong how important is it to drive the left elbow in front of the body thru impact ? aka drive hold

[@golflessons]

Take a look at my “football drill shawn clement” video and see how having and making room for the trail elbow is an integral part of having a “WHOLE” and complete kinetic chain. Shawn

[@ihop04]

Kinda digging this. Seems like a a simpler way to square up with a shorter swing and managing timing as well. Question; your compressing the ball well but, how alive does the shaft feel when you swing? Like me I have days the shaft feels slightly too stiff but the ball goes good flushed, days the shaft feels alive, not necessarily flushed but shaft releasing through impact zone.

[@golflessons]

Nice awareness! In our premium channel, we have a nice 7 part series on the “kinetic chain” of the human body. The proper engagement of this kinetic chain depends on your focus in the last moment before you deliver the shot: What are you getting ready to do? 1-Hit the ball hard or 2-sling through the ball towards the direction you want to start the ball with a nice velocity and ease? See “throwing the club shawn clement” and see that little slow motion clip I have in there of throwing the club; make sure you are in a safe place and start with “head position and lag shawn clement” video to throw with one hand and then the full throwing the club video. There is also “throwing the club straight shawn clement” and you will see the need for that one big time! Then how to plug into the swing with ball? See “how to put the ball in the way of swing golf wrx shawn clement” and “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement”

Hi shawn. I have been studying moe normans swing for the past few months. I heard u had gone to a few of his clinics. What do u think about this concept as far as he went. I see a big similarity in the strength of the grip and how it relates to presetting the baseball power zone in order to have a square face through impact or the batters box.

[@Monnymoon22]

Is she playing the ball off her back foot or is it the camera angle? It looks well back of center.

[@golflessons]

We play the ball there when we want to draw the ball (for irons) it allows us to properly start the ball to the left of the target (for a lefty) so it can draw back to the target. Very effective!

[@hardrockminer-50]

What's the reasoning for trying to draw? I can see shaping a shot to go around a corner but, 90% of the shots, I want to go straight down the middle.

[@golflessons]

@@hardrockminer-50 that would be like playing ping pong with no spin-tennis with no spin-baseball with a checked swing. Trying to hit straight in golf is a form of sabotage both for the body and physics! Top shots in soccer, baseball, ping pong, all have wonderful spin!

[@hardrockminer-50]

@@golflessons it's the physics of the thing. Energy in its basic definition is Distance moved times Force applied to move it. A draw travels a longer path than a straight shot (shortest distance is a straight line). A duffer like me never knows how much draw is going to result. Since all clubs have a bit of loft, if I hit the ball square-on (with the ball and its intended flight path are tangent to the arc of the rotation around my body and the arc of the down swing) then the ball will have a back spin which gives it lift.

She is 5’4” and no, remember Ian Woosnam who is a Master’s Winner? He used to be one of the longest players on tour at 5’4”; same height as Savy!

What was her handicap improvement over the year

[@golflessons]

Went from 8 to 4 and leaving some on the table; with a few more reps this year on course (almost everyday) we will have that down to 1 with a few under par rounds; then 2021 the goal is +2 in competition. Then it will get interesting!!👍😀

@@golflessons wow that's impressive so far. Hope she keeps it up 👍

The audio always sounds like a toe hit not the nice click sound. But you know it’s not the case in her contact.

LPGA future hall of famer!

Definitely has that potential! Like in Soccer, I have seen those magic shots that make your head spin! Like whoa! 😀👍
