[@barryrussell4949]

I arrived at this same conclusion independently about a month ago. It is absolutely correct. A square club face at address does not equal a square club face at full swing. I now address the ball at 45% and then rotate my arms backward to the position of 'swing impact' while at address to ensure this is square with the target. If it is square I am good to go because logic dictates this will be the angle at which the club face will impact the ball when I swing hard at the ball. This neutral grip position should have been debunked years ago. It is why we slice as soon as we start putting any power into our swing. So we end up swinging slow and trying to artificially time the closing of the club face.

[@golflessons]

Oh the Choir is singing on this one Barry! Awesome post!! 😀👍🎶👌💪

[@mbda1]

So you ground the club 45 degrees closed and take a grip with your lead hand facing the target? So back of your lead hand square to target but club face 45 degrees closed at address? Did I get that right?

[@josephwirtz8352]

@@mbda1 I’m also trying to figure out if what you described is correct...

[@Jackybug]

As a 3rd generation carpenter I can tell you there is a slight grip change from a downward hammering motion to a horizontal hammering motion. The horizontal hammering grip resembles a strong golf grip. Using a downward hammering motion grip to hammer horizontally turns the right palm up. The grip shift for horizontal hammering sets the palm somewhat perpendicular to the direction of the hammering motion with the thumb/ index finger v pointed to the right shoulder.

[@raulalonsov]

Greetings from Mexico, Shawn I want to give you a big GRACIAS!! Your teaching is absolutely great, simple and makes sense, I have followed your advises and I am gaining at least 50 yards more with the driver, now I am the longest of my golf buddies, again Thank! Keep up the good job

I didn't start hitting bombs until I went strong with my grip. Now I can turn my body through the ball with everything I have and I don't have to worry about timing the roll or flip of my hands. When I get it working right, it's the most beautiful feeling I've had playing golf.

[@wyliecoyotearizona5219]

Shawn i watched this clip a week or so ago. Listening to your explanation was as if you had been watching me swing a club. All the faults with the "neutral" grip you explained was exactly what i had. So i tried Savvy"s grip on the first tee with a long iron. Three balls in the water from duck hooks to the left (I'm a right hander) because i was so tuned into a conscious rotation of the hands to square the face. Anyway once i realized i just had to swing, and not think, funny things happened. Ball went far further, like 20 plus yards further. The flight was straight at the green with a draw that took it left of the green. A correction through the round had me aiming right to hit center. Not a perfect result every time, but I'm talking a round, not the range. By the end of the round i was hitting it further and crisper every shot with a visual and somewhat controlled draw as opposed to a weak fade cut shot if i mucked it up. Biggest single improvement to my game i have seen in the shortest time frame. Thanks to you both.

[@jvelez1998]

Pre-tournament day I don’t pick up Hogan’s Five Fundamentals to revisit lessons on the grip... I land right here and watch the coach provide a masterclass on how your paws are supposed to correctly operate to cut dandelion stem through to the target... over the past several months I have adopted the “Sav Grip” and I have been stripping it amping up ball speed and right to left ball flight. I am a believer... no joke people. Listen to this man (and pun intended) get a grip. Thanks again Sean.

Man I needed this. Just yesterday I was doing a driver fitting and the guy tried to change my grip from “strong” to “neutral”. I feel so much better now. Thanks to both of you. I can’t wait to follow Savannah’s progress. Best of luck!

[@dpardo74]

I let a pro switch me to a weaker grip and I went from hitting a 7 iron 160yard to barely getting 140yards. I spent the next 2 years spraying golf balls all over hell's half acre. Listening to Shawn got me back on track and got my game better than before.

[@nanoyachtllc6335]

@@dpardo74 Same here bro! I went from 180yrds to 150.. The saddest part is that i went from perfect shaft lean to almost fliiping and I spend the last 6 moths trying to have the lean back and feel like i could never swing as hard as i did before

[@guam58]

Just make sure to swing the club head to the right. The feeling should be like your trying to fling the head of the club 45 degrees to the right. I turned 250 yard pull hooks/draws or 200 yard duck hooks into 285 to 300 yard drives. The grip alone gave me extra distance. By throwing the club head to the right it maximizes club head speed. It took me 11 years to understand how to swing a golf club for power. The only swing thought I have now is balanced finish. It ensures I have a smooth tempo that relaxes my arms and body, which leads to maximum power.

Finally!!! It took me about a week to understand the strong grip/club face relationship. It clicked when I gripped it and lifted the club out in front me to see the closed face, but when put back to the ground it's a square face. I was working from a "best practice" neutral grip. Will keep working on it. Thanks for the great training videos!

So, so easy to relate to everything you show and say. The beauty of it all is the simplicity, after all 90% of golfers will never play to elite level, or have the perfect swing, or hit the ball flush every time, far from it. You’ve never lost sight of that, it’s why I watch and learn.

[@jerryphillips5777]

found your site yesterday, went to the driving range today and NAILED IT. I altered my grip and let my right elbow detach from my right side, used my legs and 15 to 29 meters further. Having been told to keep my right elbow tucked in was the worst advice I have ever had and it has cost me yardage for years. Thanks from this Kiwi in sunny NZ.

[@Fattyfatfatty6]

Restarted golf this last year. Neutral grip. Took lessons and they strongly promoted the “strong grip”. Worked amazing, gained yards on every club. Buuuuttt…. sometimes I got a draw when I didn’t need it. Switched back to neutral. Ohhhh it’s been a fucking disaster. Lots of slices. Sometimes my 8 goes as far as my approach. It’s inconsistent, it’s weak, the only thing saving my game is my chipping but it shouldn’t be like that. I should be smacking greens all the time. Glad I found this video. Going back to strong grip and playing/adjusting for that draw. Plus… that beautiful draw used to always get compliments. I’m right handed so I’ll start it right and let it come in exactly where I need it. Or fine tune my game and figure out how to keep it straight and far… which is what every golfer wants isn’t it?

[@golflessons]

This is SOOO COMMON!! The hook shots come when you are not delivering through the ball and are defaulting to hitting AT THE BALL. See “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement” and “throwing the club shawn clement” and then fine tune the grip with “knife the grip shawn clement” and “best video on grip ever shawn clement” and while you are at it, so this does not happen again, see “most important video on grip ever shawn clement”

Close club face at address and the take your grip. I stopped doing, but tried today at range and it much more solid!!!! I’m going back to it!!!

[@quoostonator]

I used to think that both hands needed to be really close together, as in melded. I eventually found that a grip pretty much like this is the only way to get my right hand involved enough in the swing to provide real whip in the right direction. It had an instant impact on my game, and I've never gone back.

Hi Shawn, Thank you for this video and all of your content. As a former college baseball player now passionate about golf(right hand dominant left handed swinger) , I find this strong grip much more natural.

[@jukkakymalainen]

Fun video and great to see that Savannah is hitting so well, with that super strong grip 👍🙂 Power 💪⚡ Is it for most off us? When you are hitting baseball and tennis the ball is in front off you and in the air. Not in the ground and midle off your stance. When you are hitting with axe you are hitting at the tree and you don't have to rotate trough. Though, they are fun way to practice, but just making some observations 😉

[@golflessons]

Yes, I considered all those options and this is why the true test is when you release past the ball into the direction you want the ball to start, is the ball flying the way you want it to fly and curving the way it should? You always want to make your adjustments on grip based on that. 👍😀

[@jricoplus3194]

Just wanted to say thanks to you and your Dad about the strong grip. I used to play it when I first started playing and then learned a neutral grip for awhile because most people I played with or watched had a neutral one. Switched back to a strong grip to see and feel the difference. I’ve gained about 15-25 yards depending on the club. Getting through the ball feels very effortless now. Again thanks for all the videos covering it.

[@rosworld9129]

I just stumbled on this video... interestingly, I started doing this this morning at the range, prior to this video, and WOW! What you guys are saying is spot on! Also, a little supination at the start of the downswing was a game changer for me😜👍🏽👍🏽

[@maeu59]

I see a lot of videos where they tell you right palm down coming into impact even with a strong grip, this is right palm up. You also have a lot of shaft lean at address and at impact. For those who don’t have as much shaft lean should they close it less?

[@golflessons]

Anytime you have any instruction that pertains to placing body parts to square the club at impact; RUN! You want to deliver an action THROUGH THE BALL and into the direction you want to start the ball with ease and velocity and full abandon where the swing’s release will naturally be anchored by the task of staying in that direction. If the grip is mot strong enough to begin with, then you won’t be able to deliver to the target and will need to release AT THE BALL to save the furniture. NOT the way to play golf fearlessly!

[@theamaturegolfer7798]

If you play cricket baseball most sports using a racket or bat it’s a strong grip. Many instructors teach a strong grip Now. I changed & im hitting the ball a lot further more consistently. I can fade draw the ball ive got more control as I have the strength in my grip. However you do need to get your hands ahead of the ball with the swing otherwise you will pull it. But a strong grip is better than neutral. Fred couples, Bubba Watson, DJ, Koepka all the top tour players past & present have a very strong grip. Great video. 👍

[@JohnnyLREACTS]

I play tennis my whole lift. This makes total sense, and I have seen the nail analogy used many times. I have always been underpowered and have always used a neutral grip. It feels so much more comfortable. For a time there I did try to strengthen to see 2 knuckles as they say to do. I will admit it never felt that comfortable. But when I see this explanation I know now I must incorporate this. I am also 10 finger with an eye to always have trail hand (right) club in fingers. Again tried Vardon and interlock be never felt a great connection to the club. Grip is CRUCIAL ugh. I want power and better contact. The best driver I could ever pull off was a power fade. They all fade or slide or it's a hard left. This is the way forward clearly..

Great video! I love the strong grip analogies and also like the shoulder tilt at setup. I've always struggled to get through the ball with the neutral grip and level shoulders at setup. I am very good at hitting at the ball but I stall when it comes to following through. I'm right-handed and leave a lot of shots left of the target, some days I think my hands and timing are good but I hate to rely on my hands and arms to make the corrections, this action leads to inconsistency.

[@janwillemdevoogt714]

Hi Shawn, I have a tennis background and I agree with your strong grip explanation. However Clay Ballard and lots of other teachers promote the neutral grip. Also some pro’s use the neutral and some even the weak grip. So there seems to be more than one truth. In tennis I change my grip according to the circumstances (service, slice, topspin etc...) . When I want to hit a fade in golf, I take a neutral grip and it works fine. However I never hear teaching pro’s about variation in grip in Golf. What is your opinion on that?

[@golflessons]

See Clay explain backhand grip in tennis! He completely messes things up in that regard! 😝😝. I used a screen shot of his tennis grip to demonstrate how it correlates exactly with the stronger grip in golf. Strong grip is not for all golfers but it is BEST for MOST GOLFERS.

[@edinnm8212]

Shawn, I enjoyed the video, and it seems to make sense. I've been told to strengthen my grip for years to gain distance, but when I do, I pull/hook all my shots 45 degrees to the left. Because of this, I've always had a weak grip with my left thumb (I'm right handed) on top of the shaft. If you have any thoughts, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

You simply need to confirm that you have access THROUGH THE BALL and can confirm that you delivered into the flight plan; if you release AT THE BALL, you will definitely hook! Look at DJ with a super closed face hitting power fades; he has mega lag because of it as well as others like Joaquin Niemann. See “through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement” and you will eventually definitely want to get with our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com as the whole philosophy is about dynamic action tasks to flight plans. A whole different world!

EXCELLENT CONTENT, MY GRIP MY MAJOR AREA OF FRUSTRATION

[@MarkLewis...]

Would have been helpful to see the differences between (say) the Arnold Palmer grip and this one.

[@golflessons]

hey Mark! see our “knife the grip shawn clement” which is Snead-Palmer-Hogan-Nelson-Jack too to an extent…then see “best video on grip ever shawn clement” and “most important video on grip ever shawn clement”

[@lindapowell117]

Jim Powell speaking here. I do like your analogy’s. They make a lot of sense. However, your statement of Sav hitting the ball (7 iron) 40 yards past the lpga average, is a pretty big stretch. I agree she can hit the ball great. But the lpga average carry with a 7 iron would be 147-150 yards, my guess. Perhaps I misunderstood what you were actually talking about.

[@bdcava]

Great video Shawn. I’ve been trying to use a neutral grip (De La Torre), but I went to the range after watching this and I get so much more compression with this grip. Like others, the challenge for me is to keep the ball from starting the ball too far left. Do I need to train my eye to see the blade more open at address? Keep up the great work!

[@method341]

It's starting left because you're coming over the top

[@jessetantog15]

The light bulb just went off! Need to go to the range now lol!

[@golflessons]

Love those! 👍🫶😝👌

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

I’ll do a strong grip and still find myself open at impact, I’ve had to take practice swings and watch the face really slow and go even stronger and try it again or close the face a little. I’ve been misunderstanding just a little bit

[@golflessons]

See our “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement” as well as the “most important video on grip ever shawn clement”

[@DeztinyDanze]

This is crazy but it works like I never would have believed. I finally know exactly where the ball is going.

[@Yoohoo2949]

Does it seem at 6:24 her face at address is really open? And does it also seem like she plays the ball right off her back foot?

[@golflessons]

that has a lot to do with the camera angle; the ball is back of centre for that draw though! See “ball position bible shawn clement”

[@13noman1]

Fair demonstration of theory in action but other than "a very strong grip", kinda light on detail of what, exactly, that looks like.

[@John-wg1jh]

Hows it going?

[@mslu62]

I am 100 % convinced that a strong grip such as Savys is logically and anatomically superior to let's say a standard V's to the right ear grip. My only problem with a grip that strong is the left rough. I find it very difficult to start the ball far enough right to avoid over drawing. I understand that ball fight is a result of club face angle relative to swing path . The things that can have an impact on ball flight are the amount of body rotation, ball position and swing path. So I guess my question is if Savy started shall we say over drawing what would you consider recommending to fix that ? I have tried that strong grip several times but could never achieve accuracy. Thank yinz again for another great video.

[@golflessons]

See a very important video called “predict solid contact and direction shawn clement” and one of the BIG 4 elements is the GRIP AND CLUB FACE RELATIONSHIP. Cannot emphasize enough how important this video is; also see “loaded arms shawn clement” to get the proper load in the wrist hinge on the anatomical snuff boxes. You will be all set after that!

[@mslu62]

[@tryggvenilsson7410]

I use a baseball 10 finger grip in golf and also when I use a sledge hammer or an ax. Why should you use an overlapping or interlocking grip with your golf clubs?

[@golflessons]

10 finger is absolutely great! Every bit as viable as interlock or overlap...

[@alexf7552]

So idk if I missed it in the video, but if we're using a strong grip, and have a strong grip at address, should the face be square at address?

[@golflessons]

Hey Alex; I understand how the golf industry can have you brainwashed with the “must be like this” and the “be careful about that” and it’s much simpler than that: see “hit a honkin’ draw to hit straight shawn clement” and btw, you did find the underpowered video since you left a comment on it!😝😝 Everyone is different for how closed it should be; you simply deliver your task to target and see how it flies; then when you see a pattern, you make adjustments according to YOUR NEEDS

[@brettkeith2218]

The game changer for the best in the world has been playing a fade. It is easier to hit a fade with a neutral or weak grip. Not impossible with a strong grip (Fred couples) but harder.

[@golflessons]

You mean Fred, Matt Kuchar, John Daly, David Duval, Webb Simpson, Bubba Watson and DOZENS MORE?? Please see the other comment I replied to you...

[@paulhale7174]

I've accidentally discovered this due to arthritis in my left thumb, I've had to allow the thumb to wrap around the grip rather than down the right palm, sounds like a massive no but my knuckle is bang on where I you're showing and I'm hitting it so much further (though the lack of thumb pain also helps :)

[@golflessons]

That is fine Paul, I have had to do the same with a couple students; in the old days of Francis Ouimet, many top players including himself, gripped it like that!

@@golflessons I've gained lots of distance but I am tending to pull hook shorter clubs but ripping fairway woods long and straight

Paul Hale I have that in my thumb too. Will def give this a go, as closing the face is a real problem for me.

[@paulhale7174]

@@davidthrower7132 Give it a whirl, you may need to go full baseball esq 10 finger grip to allow room for the thumb wrapping around the grip and experiment with larger grips but given how my thumb hurts typing yet no longer giving me grief in golf has to be a bonus!

[@jlar1984]

Sean, at 6:30 she addressed the ball with a slightly opened face. I thought you promoted a slightly closed face at address for square impact dynamically?

[@golflessons]

It is the whole relationship between the grip and club face; Square or open face with very strong grip=neutral grip with closed face. Your choice! See “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement”

[@ellocomexicano3309]

Just finding your videos so need to try this. Like they she is left like me most are all right. Anyways I think baseball bat, and when swinging bat her hand looked like big knuckle in line with little knuckle. We were taught in high level to line little knuckles on both hands to get more whip of bat. Would that work in golf for making the ball go further and club to come around? Just idea

[@mikepryde9657]

Awesome video Shawn. How do we set the club in our hands to start with this strong grip. Aim the face left for me(right hand golfer) and then forward press with the strong grip so it aims at our intermediate target. Do you have a specific video you can reference for this? Thanks in advance and great content!!!

[@golflessons]

See “weak grip vs strong grip shawn clement golf wrx”. Then see “Through the ball vs at the ball shawn clement”

[@thomasesparza9175]

When taking the club on the backswing, which arm or hand dominates? Are you taking it back equally with both, pushing with the leading arm, or pulling with the trailing arm? On the downswing, are you hitting with the trailing hand or pulling with the lead hand?

[@golflessons]

NONE OF THE ABOVE!! It is not about the “how” it is about the “what” See “sledge hammer axe drill shawn clement” and oldie but goodie!

[@motty147]

Sean, tour pros don't have this strong grip (at least as far as I can tell) are you saying this would be more beneficial to us mere mortals to gain more distance? Thanks love your videos.

[@villarrealmarta6103]

Foot position would be helpful too

[@golflessons]

You bet! On our “senior series” videos on our premium channel at www.wisdomingolfpremium.com we have a fantastic series which addresses all the small things that together make a big difference in the amount of momentum you can generate easily in the through swing towards the target to get higher, longer shots. 👍😀

[@johnmiller401]

So I definitely love the feel of the strong grip. I feel more control with throwing the club in the direction that I want to start the ball. If I'm playing a draw(I'm a right handed golfer) I do get some shots that just push or go straight to where I'm throwing the club. What would I be doing wrong?@Shawn Clement's Wisdom in Golf Lessons

[@golflessons]

Your goal now is HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU STAYED WITH YOUR SHOT? On our premium channel we have 2 series on this called “target confirmation series” and “stick your finish despite the ball series” Once your set up matched the picture, you need to simply be a witness to the whole thing and be able to confirm that there were no black outs and that you stayed with your momentum in that direction into a full release well past the ball.

[@seeingbeyond666]

So do you grip the clubface face down to create a natural Grip, than positon the clubface open to create a strong grip?

[@tyronewilliams3634]

I don’t understand the verbiage “collecting the ball here and releasing out there” because the ball speed is significantly faster than the club head speed. I would guess that the ball stays on the club face for less than an inch and is gone before the “release out there”.

[@golflessons]

Correct! But the focus is to deliver the ball into the direction you want to start it and not try to just hit AT THE BALL.

[@allowishesgump4482]

[@aram9955]

Good stuff

[@brettkeith2218]

Many of the greatest players of all time have used a neutral to weak grip. Use what’s comfortable and fits your game. Strong grip isn’t always better but it can be effective. Look at John Rahms grip.

[@golflessons]

Hey Brett! Do you realize what percentage of golfers would benefit from a weak grip like Rahm? Well below 5%!! Take it from a teacher that sees 60 students a week face to face and 60 more online and then answers hundreds of comments and emails a day. There is a stadium full of people speaking through my mouth when I do a video or answer a comment. So, not trying to be righteous, just giving feedback that has a bit more weight than the average...

[@brettkeith2218]

Shawn Clement completely respect what your doing but I’ll continue to take advice from my mentor, Rinker's Golf Tips Johnny Miller had a really weak left and right hand grip when he was known as the best short iron player in the game. The advantage was he was already in a supinated position with his left hand starting out and his distance control was incredible. Johnnys son coached me in college.

[@golflessons]

@@brettkeith2218 big fan of Johnny! He is lead hand dominant and it is easy for that kind of athlete! He and probably you are in that 5%; I won’t try to preach to you if you don’t try to preach to my 95%! 😝😝

Shawn Clement I’m a backhand golfer. Do you think the strong grip is more benefiting for us?

My left handed grip is stronger than my right handed one for sure; so yes, for many of us!

[@guntars66]

Absolutely like all your videos and from my opinion you are the bests coach on the tube, but this is true only for one body part force source and using one part more leads to imbalance. Of course most of amateurs is enough with this source, but juniors and professional players this imbalance leads to physiological problems. My opinion is that only closed biomechanical chain can prevent injuries for junior’s.
