LOWER Your SCORE EVERY TIME - ESSENTIAL GRIP GUIDE

[@digitalshapes9501]

Stuart, very best & most informed explanation of the grip and precise explanation of how it influences the golf swing and flight of the ball (with use of track man / facts). Simply brilliant. David Leadbetter first called out the importance of having the grip held in the fingers of the left hand. Although he did mention how important it was to be able to hinge the club up vertically in the backswing it was more of a side conversation. Your emphasis on it must be both in the fingers of the left hand AND the PAD of the Left hand ON TOP is the key. You also explain it’s OK to have lots of cupping in the lead wrist at set up and it’s OK / Good to have a strong left hand grip so long as you balance it with a very neutral right hand grip. Every good golfer I have ever played with has a neutral/ weak trail hand grip. Which ti the average golfer is completely counter intuitive because they slice the ball, so they wrongly think the motor cycle grip is their best friend. What is reassuring about this excellent video is the way it is so FACT BASED. You can instantly back it up with a demonstration in a blink of an eye. Leadbetter couldn’t quite convince me to experiment with an all / mainly in the fingers left grip. You just did.

[@leemartin1122]

Hi Stu, i already commented a while ago on your grip tuition and found it great, then i followed your hand path advice and found myself following thru/around my hip and that made a big difference. Last week i found i was still a bit snatchy so i tried the advice on "smooth takeaway and taking hands and clubhead back along 2 separate tramlines" and wow what a difference !! I suddenly feel a completely different golfer after 3 years of struggle, so thanks again...

[@toddvorhies9987]

Mate... this is my third video of yours. Best visual feel breakthrough I've had in years. I'm a self-taught player and manage pretty well, but I have not had swing command or confidence in years. I score the same as 20 years ago so I know I'm a wiser player now, but I play safe and frustrated. I miss going after it and flushing it. I thought Malaska was the answer and chased inside out, dropping hands, bow the left wrist. Nonsense. Stay grounded, maintain the inside, pull the handle into the swing and square the face with the forearms. Through impact, maintain the inside, rotate forearms keeping the face parallel to the path by breaking down the left wrist. Wow!! All the lag I want...throttle up with the legs and pressure into the ball. Damn...well done.

Strong left in fingers on top of shaft with pad and neutral right grip in fingers v points at chin. Like how you talk about the effects of different finger pressure. Subbed and liked ty sir

Stuart can you tell us how best to keep the crease throughout golf swing is it pushing away to keep crease like the exercise "push up" feel to keep crease in left hand for rh golfer. I feel I get in trouble when I rotate my forearms to right keeping that left hand crease if that makes sense then on the way down I gotta remember to undu what I done in back swing

Food for thought and practice , i have totally destroyed the tendon that pinches my left thumb ( golfers elbow) and tend to be left with long irons , im thinking i may be a little to tight on my last three left hand fingers probably because i used to palm grip and im very conscious of getting it into the fingers , this is definitely somthing im going to play about with 👍

[@alanking5001]

Excellent !! The left hand towards the fingers makes it a breeze to keep the pressure down through the handle on the takeaway i also find i can stay in my posture better on the downswing as a result . This just happened as aby product of the backswing , nothing i did consciously. Straightened me out immediately . Big thankyou for sharing 👍

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Alan, the more we appreciate the ability to apply force and “swing” to the golf “swing” the more golfers will prime their body to apply the force needed to create speed with a lever. It’s really simple and it sounds like you just fired up your kinetic chain through your grip. Well done my friend. Best wishes Stu

What I find works is to lay the handle on the first crease of the index finger and running to the first crease below the little finger. So it’s across the fingers. I used to place the club on the base of the little finger but that always led to a weak slice

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

If your way works, go with it Sumit 👍

[@nickr8339]

I tried the grip today. Would like to upload a pic to show you. I have been struggling with arthritis in the base of my thumbs mainly. This grip seemed to offer a lot more support. I am not a big hitter but did shoot a better score I felt today and got my first birdie since I don’t know when. Will keep trying. I’m a more senior player and stiffness and mobility and a big issue. I want to get better but started golf at 54 and it ain’t easy with psoriatic arthritis.

I was placing the grip lower in the fingers so the pad on my left hand was not creating as much stability. Amazing how it makes the swing feel so much better!

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Fantastic! Really good to hear....

[@desertjc6067]

Hi Stu, I’ve got the left hand dialed, have always used a strong grip with the club held in the fingers (though I’ve moved my thumb to the right side of the shaft as you’ve advised and I totally get that). On the right hand I use my trigger finger and apply a fair amount of pressure against the shaft with it and my thumb which is long and located along the left of the shaft. Question: Pros, cons, on using that pressure point on the shaft with my right thumb/trigger finger? Thanks, John

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Only cons in my opinion buddy, I wouldnt recommend it. Hope that helps.

[@TheNickman66]

Stuart please can you do a short video of how you grip the club. Of all the options. And slowly! In a recent video you show the left hand palm down and then the club vertical in the fingers. Then the club “pushed forward”. Not sure that is. You also show the fingers of the left hand are vital but you show a swing with them all off. Maybe it’s me being a bit thick here - do they grip on or not? 😂

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Nick - have you seen my video with the thumbnail “This is it….” ?

[@alexanderward4111]

Hi Stuart, really enjoyed the video. Having issues with a really painful base of my left thumb whenever I swing a club. Right hand seems to be putting a lot of pressure into that area. Any idea what I could try to solve this issue? Thanks

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Alex - try to lengthen your left thumb - I’ve done a video on it. Hope that helps. Best wishes Stu

[@martinblackmore4515]

This is a must watch. Just looked again. One question, I experimented with allowing the left hand thumb to slide downand to the side and no pressure. it appeared to allow me to drop the club head easier at the top of the backswing, the pressure on that thumb appears to have a big impact on the outcome. Any views?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hi Martin - I’m not quite sure where exactly you are referencing the thumb. If you mean the thumb is exactly down the side of the grip, I wouldn’t advise. If you mean a longer left thumb this can aid in creating more leverage between arms and club on the way up and and mainly down to the ball. HTH

[@seanconcannon7922]

Great explanation of the grip....one question....before taking the club away should I be pushing down on the handle of the club?

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Hey Sean - yes Sir, please check out my recent “Takeaway” video. Best wishes Stu 😊

[@sergesa4735]

Never seen anything like this. And I am talking about your whole website... Intelligence spicing up the facts makes for tasty (not testy...) science. Best on the web. BTW, your strong grip leads to a cupped wrist which, in the opinion of more than a few, is a to be avoided - there even seems to be an actual trend (since DJ and now John Rahm) towards wrist hinge. Thanks for clearing everything up.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Sergio, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts; I really hope the insights I’ve shared has opened up a new thought process to make you play better golf.

Love this! Make so much more sense. Going to take this to the range. What should I work on after this? I have been labeled an over the top swinger. Playing a strong fade/slice. Thanks for the great content.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Glad it’s hit a cord! My advice would be to check out my “over the top” video, I reckon you’ll learn a fair bit from that too 😊Best wishes Stu

[@TheBukman]

I watched all of your grip videos and was hoping you could clarify if my assumptions are correct. Is it correct you tend to promote a strong left hand grip with the right hand grip being the one to vary to manage the face? Or do you also believe the left hand grip needs to be adjusted between neutral to strong based on shot results? I will say that your approach to the left grip with the last 3 fingers looser and left arm pushing down definitely helps to create a natural hinge in the backswing. I have struggled a lot with that in the past.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

The left hand pad is the only part of the hand I am truly fussed or focussed on TheBukman, without that pad on the butt of the club it’s tough to get the handle pressure increasing through strike. The right hand is placed to offset the left hand to a degree, again, in the fingers of the right hand too.

[@craigmcconnochie4378]

excellent

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Thanks ☺️

[@ayotollaofrockandrolla7219]

Got it Stuart. With that pad of the left hand on the grip. That club shoots up real vertical with a hinge so easily. And if I pull out in transition towards the ball… I can now feel like I can almost get the clubface at the same angle I had at address. By pushing down on the handle with the left pad. The club always feels up and out for the whole swing. Never handle raising

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

[@TheRealLanceCummings]

I just want to say that I changed my setup because of you, and it was/is wonderful. Specifically, I concentrated on making my left (lead) arm an extension of the club shaft. Previously, I had the hands more in the middle, and I found it difficult to get/feel really square at setup. I hit the ball worryingly straight today. 😂 And with pretty good authority. Not every time of course. But I got to that point that we all want to get to, which is that there will be some misses, and there's no getting around that. But they're not soul-destroyers by any means. I think I have a bit more leg flex at setup than you'd like, but one of my mistakes is not getting the legs active enough, so there's that. Just a bit more flex than I saw you put that client into seems to encourage more energy. Carry on, please.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

Lance, lovely insights, thank you so much for sharing. Really enjoy reading everyone’s comments. Keep up the good work and look forward to hearing about further progress. Best wishes Stu!

[@motodiaries8204]

I've just been trying this grip in my simulator. It's hugely different from my normal grip, which is relatively weak, but with a lot of wrist bow. I hit a high draw with very low spin which is pretty effective. This grip forces a completely different swing with the hands low and inside and the clubface swinging out to the ball. I get a lower ball flight generally, but still very low spinning. I don't have access to attack angle, but I suspect mine is very low, possibly even positive. Anyway, I hit some monster 7 irons, one of them out to 187 yards. My normal is maybe low 160s. That one spun at under 3000 rpm and landed too flat to be useful but I've got a lot more to try with this grip. Very interesting!

It is great to know I should not place my lead left thumb on top and down the grip because any pressure from my trail right hand on top of the left thumb is very painful. Can I grip the handle in your strong grip as you demonstrated and place my lead left thumb more under the grip to avoid pressure from my trail right hand?

Only now am I beginning to realize the impact of the grip on everything else, what are your thoughts on where the sole if the club should be at address and how grip effects it. I’ve heard quite a bit if advise that the toe should actually be of the ground and you should not try and get the sole flat or parallel to the ground?

Hi Stewart, I have a question about this. I'm a big guy, 6'3 with large hands so i'm using jumbo grips. When I follow the guidance in your video I can see almost 4 knuckles, but when I apply pressure to the pad, the club pitches up vertically in a straight line. Is that what we are looking for or have I exaggerated it too far?

[@thomasgolft]

I watched many of your videos and learned a lot and maybe this question has already been answered, then I am sorry. But I would like to hear your ideas / opinions on the pros and cons and/or the effects of the size of the grip itself because I never really understood what it means to have the correct grip size. For example Bryson and Peter Finch use oversized grips on all their clubs despite not having the largest hands of all times and I am wondering what people could benefit from "too large" grips and what people would actually harmed by that.

[@GoodGolfCoaching]

I believe the grip size should be reflective of the glove/hand size. If you’re trying to overcome a movement by altering a grip size I think you’re barking up the wrong tree in my honest opinion. Many have subscribed to thicker and thinner than prescribed by glove hand size, each to their own but I wouldn’t recommend. Hope that helps Thomas 😊
