I Wish Someone Had Told Me This About MY GRIP! (SHOT IN THE 70’s SINCE!)

I couldn't stop slicing the golf ball until i used this HIDDEN GEM of a golf grip technique from Adam Scott's who is one of the best players of all time!! I use this grip technique with all golfers of all abilities to help square up the clubface with irons and learn to square the clubface with driver as you coming into impact to STOP slicing the golf ball. I'VE STOPPED SLICING since USING THIS HIDDEN GEM GRIP TACTIC From MAJOR PLAYER!
When you slice the golf ball your clubface alignment at impact with driver and irons is OPEN learning to square up the clubface is key to stop slicing the golf ball and i couldn't stop slicing the golf ball until i sued Adam Scotts a major player grip technique for sure this is a simple golf swing fix
Learning to control the golf club and square the clubface is the hardest skill in golf HOWEVER this simple guide to the golf grip with irons and driver is the way to stop your slice.

*This is GENIUS AND DEFINITELY a hidden gem that will get you the anti slice grip EVERY SINGLE TIME*

[@healthygolfer]

I’ve used Adam Scott’s gripping technique for a while. It’s interesting that I believe that you’re the first person/instructor to give as detailed explanation of his grip for ordinary golfers. I have yet to hear if anyone has ever asked him how he came about to using this technique and why he adopted it.

[@davidkramer194]

It feels so weird but it has helped my ball striking immensely.

[@davidkramer194]

The only thing I wish he would have covered is that it creates a cupped setup which feels so uncomfortable but it's right

[@healthygolfer]

@@davidkramer194 Hopefully, he replies!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I love using it to be honest! i do this when i do this more when i’m playing

[@user-ck9tb4fv2x]

I recently picked up golf. I modified my grip to be this one because my wrist was hurting, and I thought about how people use pistols. The idea behind pistol shooting is to hold it in that fold to create a full straight line through the site. Similar I wanted to create a full straight line through the club making it an extension of my arm rather than a weird obtuse angle coming off of my wrist. I've noticed less grip slip after a shot, preventing rotation and more power to my shots. I like applying body mechanics to golf that I've learned from other things like shooting for the way I hold, and skateboarding to help me understand swing mechanics more. Golf is a lot of fun. I'm trying to learn how to create the shot shapes now and improve my driving skills.

[@robertdavis5465]

Great tip. Tried it and really like the results I got. Added it to my routine for each shot and eliminated my tendency to just grab club with left thumb on top. Once you get it, doesn’t slow you or others down.

[@Mike70005]

Excellent explanation. Will try this immediately.

[@jrr0529]

I have struggled when hitting driver for years. After adopting this routine, I am hitting my tee shots straighter and longer than ever before. Thank you for sharing this.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

You got this!

[@russellbell6484]

I’ve never had a set pre swing routine and if struggled with wondering if my grip is right. This might help both and get me to relax and empty my head of all the golf thoughts running through it.

[@jeffdillon9526]

Absolutely taught in the most basic fundamental way possible!!!

[@williammacauley5498]

I used this today along with the John Daly’s secret of gripping down on the on the club!! Excellent tips!!

[@TimSuttonGolf]

tis indeed a JD secret. His other secret is using a cigarette.. Left shoulder under cigarette (backswing), right shoulder under cigarette (through swing)! Try it with a tee in your mouth if you don't have a ciggy handy! haha Cheers! - Yo Alex, try this JD cigarette/tee in the mouth drill, it is a winner!

[@seantracey43]

Quality as always!! I’m going to try this tomorrow.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hope you enjoy

[@philgrimes2968]

Do you interlock?

[@09Youba]

Alex, just came back from the range. I was pulling the ball but not coming over the top. Squeezing the last 2 fingers of lead hand sure helped but I went to a strong grip and that worked wonders. Thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Excellent stuff!!

[@davidg3019]

wow, thank you, I saw this video last week and practiced every day in my back yard. I did not get a chance to go to the range, but played a round today and hit 10/13 fairways (2 missed by driving through the fairway) and 4/5 par 3 greens. If you know my game, this is unheard of! Unfortunately, i tried in the fairway and didnt have as much success, but that is probably due to other reasons.

[@cdj4572]

I always had trouble slicing because of my grip. Just could never get it right. I was at the range a month ago hitting balls everywhere but where I wanted to them to. I remembered seeing this video, used this method and the very next shot went dead straight. And it has consistently worked since. It takes the thought out the grip and it's just automatic. Seriously, try it.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Watch my latest video!! It’s all about a grip routine - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZioqo2qnZKXrcksi=6OdawN-sAoqt7So1

[@jasontroutman9845]

The position left thumb is so important. I had a “fake strong grip” with thumb more on top and palm more on top so it appeared to be a strong grip. This caused club to open and resulted in embarrassing extreme blocks. Did not hit one block since I’ve made sure the left thumb is on the right side of grip. Great video keep up good work!

Really interesting - I've always struggled to get left thumb comfy

[@rooikatpommie8338]

Can’t wait to see my golfing buds confused look at me doing this on the first tee. Third grip video I’ve seen this week all saying theirs is the right way and will fix things, very confusing, think I might resort to grip and rip it and dispense with the on course swing thoughts.

[@ParawayGolf]

Different explanations help different people. The premise of the grip position is all relatively the same though. I actually think this one is more practical in terms of explaining than the "line up parallel to the inside of your fingers but don't grip with your palm" style. This one at least sounds like it's more designed by practical feel and natural wrist angles for people who are all different. :)

[@rooikatpommie8338]

@@ParawayGolf I found the three all ended with a different grip, one with the crease on the right hand aiming up the right shoulder and thumb straight down the grip. I guess it’s try all and see how you get on.

[@ParawayGolf]

@@rooikatpommie8338 totally. Golf is a lifelong journey to get better, so you've (hopefully) got lots of time for trial and error! :)

[@TimSuttonGolf]

@@rooikatpommie8338 if your thumb is straight down the grip at address, you will open the face as you try and push with your thumb at impact. If your thumb is on the right like this, it means you can apply force to the handle/grip with your thumb without rolling the face open :)

[@stephenwallace2888]

Thanks Alex for that video on the Grip

[@vektacular]

Love the slight fade!! Real nice….tell ya what, it changed my game for the better by 10 strokes.

[@davidsmuk9735]

I used this grip method for the first time and had my best score in a long while - Great video as always Alex.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great to hear!

[@paulward4299]

This advice aligns perfectly with Harvey Penick's Little Red Book. Different way to arrive there, but same result.

[@sydhills3387]

Hi Alex, enjoy your videos. I happened to watch this, this morning before I went out to play. I did do this the whole round, 14 drives 1 pulled one. The rest were much straighter and slightly longer than usual. Likewise with my irons. I'm not long hitter. I just cannot seem to work the ground forces and transition weight through. I'm all shoulders😂😂. Take away the ball and everything seems to work. Great tip, enjoyed my game today 89 with 3 lost balls. From Australia in Thailand. Cheers😊

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Loveee this!! Yeah this is a problem i have heard before, i will try and cover this in another video for sure

[@susancrowther9998]

Very well explained - wish I could hit the ball that far off the tee - even over 200 would be epic!

[@steveschwab922]

Great video!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DougMcilvenna]

Alex I started using this today and I would like to thank you my drives were further and straighter now I just need too pick up more speed

[@AlexElliottGolf]

love this!

[@mixmastamaori3931]

Another way is to grip the club from behind your front hip with head resting on ground. Can be a little easier for some people to align face with grip

[@AlexElliottGolf]

great point!

[@malldread930]

Great information to ensure the proper grip.

[@jacobdemeester4457]

I’ve recently changed how I grip the club. I have 3 rounds in the 70s since all in a row

[@kindered]

Hi Alex, great content! One question I have for you, at the very beginning of the swing, do you try to start with the hip open or neutral or closed to target? I feel like there is benefit to start with the open hip, but I am wondering if this is a “power leak”. (This for irons and drivers)

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes i will try and cover this in another video, great question! Oh and thanks for tuning into the videos I appreciate it 🙌🏼

[@dennissvitak5475]

I put jumbo grips on my clubs perhaps 20 years ago. My game improved by several shots per round. It was like swinging baseball bats. MUCH more control. Highly recommended.

[@TimSuttonGolf]

I use Winn Dritac 2.0 standard size grips on all of my clubs. They are bigger than normal grips and the tack means you don't need to use a glove as they are so sticky! I totally recommend them!

[@dennissvitak5475]

@@TimSuttonGolf - I am an old man, with a strong, fluid swing. I went golfing yesterday with some friends of a friend, on a new course. They don't have gold tees, and we were told that seniors use the reds. OMG. Short course...the LONGEST par four was 310, one of the par 5's was 430. I was bombing drives 250-280. It was fun. We played a scramble format, and by the 10th hole, they kept their drivers in the bag!

[@Benito-l5k]

As a new golfer, what equipment do you recommend getting to train at home?

[@andyfrizzell4352]

Top tier instructions

[@DASH1ful]

well, yes. a player should always hold the club with their left hand; and, look at the ball, as they step up to the ball. it sets the head and the hands in position; and, pressure on the ground with the right foot sets the hip back and gets the hip turning. it may, also, help to position the left hand in a high position, as you place your right hand on the grip. this enables the right elbow to position itself below the left elbow, at address. and, crucially, the left hand should be in a high enough position to make the necessary downwards rotation of the hand, in the waggle, that hogan advises in five lessons. he, also, tells us that the backswing is just simply an extension of the waggle. so, it therefore follows that the takeaway has an added dimension to it. the area around the extensor digiti minimi tendon, in the left hand, makes the downwards rotation of the hand; and, this creates the arc of the club. the club is then returned to the ball by pressing in with the wrist joint. the heel pad of the hand etc. resists against the wrist joint and the two react against one another. in the waggle, the digiti minimi and flexor retinaculum work as antagonistic opposites. that may sound like unnecessary terminology; but, it is important to remember that the digiti minimi and the flexor retinaculum are connected. when the heel pad and the wrist joint react against one another, as the club is returned to the ball, in the waggle, it adds an extra dimension: both the digiti minimi and the flexor retinaculum become fully activated. in the takeaway the area around the extensor digiti minimi presses forwards, creating the arc; and, the wrist joint supplements this by pushing back. the area around the digiti minimi is fully extended when the club is max left, towards the top of the backswing. the wrist joint completes the backswing by pushing back. and, of course, there is no danger of the heel pad pressing too far forwards in the takeaway. when the flexor retinaculum is fully activated the area around the extensor digiti minimi can't press too far forwards in the takeaway. the biggest problem is that it is quite difficult for a lot of golfers to position their hands in a high enough position to create downwards rotation with the left hand in, waggle. but, there is a simple little trick that a player can keep up their sleeve to enable the hands to be set in a high enough position. just simply use the weight of the club to press the handle against the heel pad of the left hand.

[@ianhaddock6834]

279?is that carry or total? I've been practising the John rahm driver set up you did in another video and carry seems to be similar but overall distance was around 270...way up on previous, plus switched to the Wilson lp2 driver which has cured my slice

[@SheerLuckHolmesAz]

OK... a question. I am 72, recently retired, taking up golf again having not played in 10+ years, not that I ever played well. Videoing my swing I see that I get an adequate trailing hip turn in backswing. Going forward my hip turn stops at address position as club contacts ball, then starts turning again after ball leaves club face. While practice swinging I get a full smooth hip rotation through entire sequence. I even have belt buckle at 45 degrees to target at contact, if there was a ball there, but when actually hitting a ball, the belt buckle is straight at the ball and stopped. What can I do?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Well this seems like an interesting new thing to try out. When you do stage one with an iron, is it just the toe on the ground like you did with the driver so that the shaft stays upright? Or should the head be more level on the ground?

A suggestion: Wear dark shoes. When you show us the straight down player view it is Difficult to distinguish your glove from your shoe because they're both bright white.
