I turned 62 yesterday. I learned more about how to hold a damned golf club in this video by Martin Hall than I did since I started golfing when I was 30. Thanks, Marty!!! An AMAZING lesson!!!!!

[@smokezmusik]

new to golf here and this is the best video ive seen on grip . thank you

[@jeffsimpson2100]

I have been playing this wonderful game for over 45 years and also have had the privledge of caddying for a good professional and this is the best golf video i have ever seen!!I have always stressed to all and sundry the most important part of the golf swing begins with the grip as it your first contact with your club! and must be correct!!!Love your work!!!

[@Dorich55]

Best golf grip instructional video yet! Thanks.

[@anunez5173]

THIS has changed my whole game !!!!! No more slices or blades. Broke 90 today (89). Been pinning the ball on the greens with GREAT accuracy. Thx Coach👊👊✌️✌️

I watched this about a week ago, tried it today... Extremely happy with the result, very good video

[@jordanmiller7642]

Just watched this and set out to the driving range. It is INCREDIBLE how a more proper grip can change your game. Today was the most straight I’ve ever shot! Thank you for your information and video! 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@WyattScott]

yes, it’s huge . Sometimes we need to go back to the fundamentals. Been in the wilderness searching for my lost swing the past month since i got covid and finally today realized it’s was all due to my grip. It was way too weak. Stronger, Solved.

[@Paul-fp1gr]

I just watched your video prior to playing a round this morning. Results were beyond my wildest expectations. Hit the ball longer & straighter than ever before. Broke a 100 for the first time. All this with a twist of a wrist . Great video with solid reasoning behind each portion of the vid. Thanks again !!!

[@finderskeepers6684]

Grip, Aim, and Set up. Master all of these three, you should shave off a ton of strokes. Congrats on the new record, keep it up, and update us! I've read this book before a few times...sounds like he got a lot of his info from this book, check it out, 19$, will be the best book you buy!

Watched this before hitting at the driving range. the RESULTS are astonishing!!! Big change in my swings!!

[@lawman34]

Former baseball player. 18 handicap. Been working my ass off to get better at this game and it's taken so long to decide to work on my grip. Have had wrist pain lately. Haven't hit the range or a course yet, but swinging a club in my house oh my god. I've been contorting my hand so wrong for so long. It felt 10x as smooth like this. Awesome video!

[@jakoboverton1324]

I had the wrist pain too and it’s from chunking the ground

[@jonwright8236]

thanks for the great advice on grip , been a major dilemma of mine, greetings from Ireland

Thank you for using the terms, lead hand and trail hand! It can be really confusing for lefties, thanks for recognizing that!

Excellent video. Very intuitive and straight forward. Thank you for explaining the different grip types!!

[@zackraynor5156]

I honestly wish I could call you up and thank you. I am on the course now I’ve never hit so accurate far consistent, yesterday I couldn’t even drive accurately or hit a pitching wedge. My hits are straight long accurate. The only thing I did was grip the club how you showed. You are a genius!!!’n

[@ryanrmonahan]

Greatest golf video on youtube.

[@terrywalker9092]

Mr. Hall, I don't if you remember me. I caddied for you at Kinloch Golf Club. I've always loved your instruction. Learned a lot from you that day. Keep up the great teaching 👍

[@4everswinger]

Great video Martin, I imagine you are a wonderful coach to teach the game!

Awesome video. I’ve been watching grip videos all day and this one made it easy to understand. I am going to test out the overlap grip this week. I’ve been playing a few months and my grip was none of the ones shown in the video 😂😂

[@vladotaso5915]

Very well explained, I will use your advice,thanks mate a lot 😊

[@gregoryberleue4089]

Switched to this grip, more relaxed, less strangle hold on club, better control and shot accuracy. Played 9 to try it out shot a 1 over parr. May be a good day, better grip on club or just plane lucky. I'll go with luck for the time, but am sticking with this tip.

[@SAVEAMERICA-cf6kf]

Some might call it luck- I’d like to call it, well, luck I guess. Happy Gilmore

One of Hogan’s “hidden in plain sight” secrets was always establishing his grip with club hanging in the air in front of him with bent elbows pointing down. If you have read his Five Lessons he first hooked grip with left index finger and pad of left hand then added the right hand with only the second and third (middle two) fingers. When grip is established up in the air with bent elbows when the club is lowered the arms straighten and counter-rotate against each other because of way the ulna and radius bones in the forearms work. Again if you have read Five Lessons you will remember the “wring the towel” and “rubber band around arms” illustrations. When lowering the club starting with elbow down bent arms that counter rotation creates that “wring the towel” and “band pulling arms to chest” action AUTOMATICALLY! The way it firms up the arm triangle is nothing short of amazing compared to just resting the head of the club on the ground and gripping it. It was also the act of hanging the club IN THE AIR in front of him to serve as a counter-balance which allowed Hogan to sit back, butt over heels (as in the stool illustration in the book) keeping lower leg vertical for good leverage to counter pull of club force at impact without falling over backwards. Hogan’s last move after the waggle to rehearse the wrist action at impact was to push his left hand downward with pressure from his slightly bent right arm TO REMOVE THE SLACK FROM THE LEFT ARM. Hogan realized the club force in the takeaway move stretches the left arm about 1/2” or more. But instead of just guessing and setting up with face 1/2” inside the ball he would pull the slack out of his arms by pushing hands toward the ground when aligning the shot and again just before taking the club back in the swing to take the slack out and visualize “at impact” alignment of the face exactly. What I discovered when adopting that action in my pre-shot routine is that the pressing down action of the hands strengthens the orientation of the left hand by pronating the palm more and pushing the wrist into greater extension. As the the left arm tries to rotate clockwise more in response to that downward stretching the grip forces the right hand thumb pad to rotate counter-clockwise increasing pressure on the left thumb. This very subtle and stealthy action is what gave Hogan (and now gives me) very firm control of the club but with very little contraction of the fingers which is the key for allowing the club to whip around the hands during the downswing. I discovered and adopted Hogan’s method a dozen years ago and by ball striking improved dramatically. The counter-rotation and counter-torquing of the arms make them feel like tightly twist rope or steel rods because there is no feeling of “give” at impact with ball and turf. 100% of the energy in the club head gets transferred to the ball with none lost because of give in the arms and hands. Hogan gripped the club held out horizontal -- in front of him but if you really want to feel and understand the counter rotation cause and effect try gripping it with 90° bent elbows with shaft vertical | then lower it to address \ without changing the position of the hands on the grip. Don’t rest the head on the ground, instead hover it an inch or so over the ground and shift hips laterally < == > parallel to the line your heels are on letting arms hand down as you bend at the hips / - do not bow ( at the waist. The arms and butt of the club will swing in closer to the body (because arm + club is now a cantilever) and the club if allowed to swing freely with no steering input from hands will find perfect balance between mass and gravity. If you simply rock the hips an inch or so laterally the combination of the cantilever leverage and the MOI of the mass in the club head will dictate the path the club head swings on. It will automatically be an inside- back to square - inside path. Part of what makes a high MOI club more “forgiving” than a old style blade iron is the way the MOI affects the balanced natural (unaided) swing path. The old pre 1970s blades were so toe heavy they would swing too far inside in the takeaway requiring the golfer to fight with the hands to keep them on a swing radius matching the shoulder and hip turn. Engineer and amateur golfer Karsten Solheim realizes that by moving the mass around in the club head it could be made to AUTOMATICALLY steer itself onto the ideal (gravitational pendulum effect) swing arc. All modern cavity back irons are now designed to do that automatically except 99.99999% of the golfers on the planet don’t understand that cause and effect and how to utilize it to create a more automatically consistently swing. I doubt Hogan understood the physics but he intuitively, by trail and error, figured out how it worked and incorporated it brilliantly into his swing in his wide, low, slow takeaway move, letting the club find perfect balance like a pendulum at address and then keeping it that balanced gravity influenced path in the takeaway, which is the key for bringing it back down in balance, the condition that exists when one feels the swing is “in the groove” or like “on rails.” That feeling is a club swinging on its natural, laws of physics dictated path without steering action by the golfer’s hands messing it up. Starting at address with a proper grip is necessary for not messing it up 😀

[@larrymosher5045]

The Hogan book is available at barnes and noble, fairly cheap. I got it about 4 or 5 years ago.

[@emilywelsh1072]

Wow, so helpful. Thank you!!

[@justjames1111]

Great video Martin. I've recently focused on Maintaining the Same Grip Pressure (or at least feeling I do) from Start to Finish and got cut 5 shots after winning two tournaments at my club. Regards Grip Pressure, Aimee Cho says in her video on the Grip, that most Pro's hold the club with most Pressure in the L/hand with the 'pinky' finger and the Trail hand with the First finger and Thumb, and I was wondering if that's what you do too? Thanks

[@shawnspaulding5416]

Thanks for the video! Please explain how it know if the club head is open, closed or correct at address.

[@randomfocus1549]

Tried this today, felt good

[@thebephoko6491]

I tried this grip and had one of my best practise days. I am taking this grip to the course on my next game. I think I had it before and I lost it when I was "looking for power in my swing". I should have simply kept the grip and found power over time.

[@terencelai7]

thanks for the advice....i have added at least 30 yards of my game!!!

[@tylerdodd55]

Best grip video I have ever seen. I’ll be marking my gloves up

[@terrythomas790]

Save the golf gloves. Get some cheap latex gloves, mark them , and just grip and regrip, to get used to the feel around the house.

[@ktr2345]

I loved this video! As a short woman, I always liked the 2handed grip. Recently I've changed to interlock because my trainer told me too. Was a disaster at first but now I'm used to it. Should I have just suck to the 2handed grip?

[@cflorez1986]

Props for using lead/trail instead of left/right. I'm lefty and it really goes a long way 👍👍👍

[@robertobezerracavalcanti9042]

I am currently without a teacher. But my caddie has sensitivity. I think about asking my caddie to take, ask to pull, the club out of my hands and also and also only from my left hand. With the aim, for the purpose, of testing, checking, comparing the pressure of my grip.

My uncle Charlie taught me to hold the golf club like you're holding a pigeon. You don't want to choke it to death, but you also don't want to let it fly away. It works well for me, especially now when I'm putting (my strength). If I'm missing putts, I check my grip. If I feel like I'm killing a bird, I loosen my grip and my putting usually corrects itself.

[@DJMoore82]

This is as good as it gets.

[@innerpowercouple]

Does the grip stay the same for all clubs or do you make it "stronger" for short irons and "weaker for long irons, woods and driver?"

[@juan69508]

"don't do this. DON'T DO THIS!!!" lol

[@herbertbensson5807]

did a HIO today because of this.

[@timfrancis7795]

You say that it should be across the base of your fingers. This is right as taken from the side. People say the fingers and they are right as taken from the bottom of the club. Cradle it in your fingers to cup the base of the grip and then your position is the same way everyone else says as you are looking at where the grip touches the hand at the side. Drawing lines on your glove is great but you need to realise where on the grip this relates to i.e. the side of the grip. The right hand needs to grip the club like you are holding a baby bird. Great Video

[@bman6502]

Good info… I’ve been teaching my wife on proper grip.. not too hard, but firm… use both hands and let it slide thru the follow thru,,,,, if your gloves too dry, use your lips to lubricate
