Clay, the comment you made about "giving your blessing to use whatever grip feels great and gives you good ball flight" was very timely for me, thank you! Such great advice.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you liked it!

I found this video because yesterday while playing, I became so frustrated after months of increasingly inconsistent and weak contact that I just moved my left hand into a position that felt 'natural' (much stronger). Instantly I began making way better contact with straighter more penetrative ball flight. For months I have been trying to get the 'right' grip when what I really needed was 'the right grip for me'. Watching all of the advice online it is easy to forget that we are all different and we must find what works for us!

[@FittinToGet]

One of the alltime best video's and should be the first video any new golfers sees...Great job

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Wow, thanks! 👍

[@joer8273]

Amen to this. Pure gold in here

[@joer8273]

This is one of the best golf instructional videos I’ve ever seen… and I’ve seen 100s of not more.

[@DrPapa14]

I have learned more from this video than any lesson or any other video. Thank you

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevenrobinson9925]

Thanks Clay & Top Speed Golf. I think a lightbulb just went off in my head. I’m continually pushing/slicing right. Can’t wait to give this a try. Cheers mate.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Excellent! Glad it helped!

[@ColbyStewart1965]

Best lesson you have given to me right here. Adjust the grip to dial in the ball flight. Nice!!

[@kip2095]

This is really great feedback. We hear time and time again that the “V’s” our hands form on the grip must always both point at our right armpit. Obviously not the case here. Like this flexibility and the recommendation that we can tweak grip to ball flight. Bravo!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@roadtoscratch3481]

Great examples and explanations, Clay. Love your grip test will try it to see if my current grip is correct. Cheers.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks 👍

[@curtiscrigger3562]

Great as always Clay!!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jvelez1998]

This was a Masterclass on the grip. Very well done, Clay. 👍

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrKingdonuts]

Excellent video Clay is it possible to have a slightly weak grip or neutral grip with the left hand and have a strong right hand grip ????

[@andyrobinson6052]

Super well explained, thanks

[@TopSpeedGolf]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 👍

[@tellwilliams4493]

I went to a longer shaft and strong grip it allowed me to do want you teach very easy

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad to hear it!

[@MrJnr350]

I’ve changed my grip to a strong left hand and I hit the ball heaps better great tips mate 👍

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Great to hear!

[@p38shocker]

I was at the range today and just for shits and giggles, I tried hitting my irons with a bowed left wrist. I couldn’t believe how effortless and far it went. I think I’ll be trying this grip in a couple of weeks. Playing in the American golf festival in Vegas next week and I don’t wanna change it till after the tournament.

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Let me know how it goes! Good luck!

[@brandonkristy8015]

Used to do this exact thing then switched to Jack Nicklaus’s grip he teaches in fundamentals. Dropped 10+ strokes a round now and it’s a much easier swing. For some reason, a strong grip hurts my back after a few swings.

[@spakuloid]

Another great video. Thanks!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@williamjarrett9309]

Recently went to a weaker grip and my iron play improved almost immediately. Driver off tee, different story!!

[@TopSpeedGolf]

Glad it helped!

[@rondunlap4984]

Hey Steve I have a question, what if you get a thinker grip cause I have bigger hands then most would it be the same for a string grip?? I was thinking of regripping for clubs

[@edwardmckallen98]

This might be a silly question, but I set up with a very closed stance and most weight on front leg , a Jim ventos set up , I listen to you and him , what kind of grip would you recommend ?

[@harveyhelka9186]

Clay, what grip is wise to use . when you fade to slice with a driver, i go strong grip but with irons i pull hook, so i switch to a weaker grip. ive been going back n forth. its kinda annoying. which grip would you recommend. neutral ? or is it ok to do both different grips. recommendation.

[@rjswish]

Strong grip with more of an underneath release. 😉

[@chachichochacorta8577]

Great video, Clay, as always. I've always felt that a strong grip is more powerful and gave me more confidence. I noticed how John Daly and David Duval could stripe the ball with a strong grip. However, I listened to too many golf professionals online saying that a strong grip is bad. So, I learned to hit with a slightly weaker grip just like Johnny Miller advocated. That is until I hurt my wrist a couple of times. This was due to hitting too deep into the ground off of a massive upslope. I learned later that the bowed weak grip is not a stable grip and may cause injury for those gougers like myself. I later came across some videos by Shawn Clement who advocates a strong grip. He talks about the karate chop (strong grip) being more powerful than the back slap (weak grip). It takes a little time to get used to the super strong grip, but, once it clicks in your brain, you will feel really confident with it. Would you recommend using a super strong grip with the putter?

[@jamiesloan7259]

Strong grips are great for players with good flexibility. It requires that you’re able to have open hips, and lots of right side bend through impact. Like DJ. He can even hit a cut with a strong grip, because of his amazing flexibility.

[@chachichochacorta8577]

@@jamiesloan7259 Good point. I definitely don't have the flexibility of DJ. I'm way older and way shorter. I'm more of an arm thrower, like Mike Austin and Fred Couples, as opposed to a turn-the-corner, like Ben Hogan and Dustin Johnson. I learned how to time the arm throw well, I guess. Although the occasional "march" (right-left-right) does creep up during the round.

[@jsee2385]

Hitting a hook is a good player problem

[@gtese6665]

Is it normal to have a different type of grip for different club selections on a normal lie? What about on a uphill or downhill lie should you adjust grip?

[@carolinamountainliving7501]

I’ve found a strong left hand grip leads to an occasional hook. A weak grip with a bowed or flat left wrist eliminates that risk.

[@dso1986]

I find that i tend to over release with a neutral grip, not on purpose but instincts just take over and get hooky overdrawing shots, i tend to hit it straight and slight pulls and pushes with a strong grip,

[@MrShayna316]

Hello Clay I've been a subscriber for many years maybe even before Rick Shiels I saw you today at a driving range the old guy hitting in front of you. If you witnessed any of my shots would you have any suggestions? Thanks recognized your voice right away

[@joer8273]

I’m a lefty who’s a right handed player. This has posed challenges as I feel ALL my power in my left hand. Nada in my right (even tho I pitched righty). Anyway, this video gave me permission to have the strong grip people criticize. I just have to be mindful of the duck hooks while I fine tune it (particularly my right hand trigger finger and tucked elbow, both new practices to me). Anyone else have the same handedness issue as me?

[@austinhale3089]

Yep. Left handed but golf right handed. Constantly trying to find people who are the same to see what has worked or not worked for them lol

[@mikaelantoszyk261]

Never thought about gripping it at impact to see what feels comfortable.

[@wayneyoung146]

I like the stronger grip It keeps my trail arm in contact with the body Than the weak grip bows the arms

[@jamiesloan7259]

Find a grip that makes it easy to work the ball either direction. Fade, or draw. For me…. That’s somewhere between weak, and neutral. Basically Tiger’s grip. I’ll barely tweak it if I’m trying to eliminate one side of the fairway. If it’s wide open on the right, and OB left, I’ll purposely grip the club a touch weaker. Or vice versa…. Pond all the way up the right side, and no trouble left, I’m purposely gripping it a tad stronger.

[@keithfisher2439]

It has to match your body turn.

[@galax3628]

When I play bad i feel like the grip in left hand is in palm what is cause of that?

[@cngguy4334]

I thought dj has a super weak grip with a huge bow in hi left wrist at impact ?
