I've never heard about the trigger finger tip and I've watched lots of videos on the golf grip. Top notch, thank you Mark!

Thank you Mark! I've been waiting for a video covering the baseball grip! I often run into the typical snob on the course trying to "correct" me and my grip. None of them knew what they were talking about or had even tried it.

That first tip is incredible- I can tell the difference in my wrist hinge at address between it and my old method and it feels so much more secure. Thank you so much for this tip. Its absolute GOLD.

The first tip really worked for me. drives were going straight or left, nearly completely took out right :) thanks Mark

Loving the first checkpoint Mark! Makes some good sense. With 2 and 3 for sure there’s a lot of funky grips, but at the end of the day whatever gets you face to path and strike controlled I respect it…

Followed your grip tips for years and years but recently bought hogans 5 lessons with chapter 1 being about grip. It's totally different to Marks advice and made an insane difference in my feel and the results. it's probably 99% how the grip has made me specifically feel, but I would advise trying out this style as well as the ben hogan grip just to see if you are like me. Mark always advocates experimenting

No. 2 was so refreshing to hear. For the longest time I have felt super comfortable with the baseball grip and I hit it better in full swing to chipping. But I consistently always used interlock or overlap instead because of other golfers claiming that these are the only proper ways to grip. Im officially sticking with baseball now without any peer pressure guilt lol thanks Mark

Hi Mark I’ve been a subscriber for quite a few years I started going to the driving range back in 2013 and I believe I started watching your channel back then as well. I never got my game to the level where I felt comfortable on the course. I stopped playing shortly after due personal reasons until 2019 I kept watch your course vlogs as they were very entertaining. In the past couple of years I’ve been playing quite a few rounds and I’ve been able to bring my handicap down to 17.8 from 26 in a year. I’m trending in the right direction. Mostly thanks to you, Coach Lockey, Danny Maude and Dan Grieves. I’m a YT taught golfer. Thanks for everything that you do.

Hey Mark. Great content! Have you ever done any research on drumming grip? As a lifelong drummer and golfer I believe there are so many similarities between the two. The idea of holding the club/sticks within the fingers to allow for proper wrist movements is essentially the same. What you call “trigger finger” is described as a fulcrum in drum terms which is essentially creating a lever . Weak/strong grip is very similar to French/german grip. Thanks for the videos.

Hi Mark, great video, i liked the way you explained holding the driver across the body with just a few/ couple of degrees closed face taking your grip, i have watched this a few times, am i correct i thinking we are only closing the face with driver, look fwd to next week tip s

@ManuelGarciaLaRosa 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for the videos. Would you have some videos that explain the driver swing? Could you please prepare some videos of how to use the educator with a driver?

@txnerd940 4 ай бұрын

I tend to go left with my irons and hybrids - either draw or pull or hook. But I tend to go right or slice my driver. I use a baseball grip with my driver to have better control to keep from going right. This has worked well for me.

Good video , time spent on learning the differences made by even slight alterations on your grip weakness or strength and how it affects the rate of closure or your ability to hold off , shaft lean stance and low point is essential to good golf . I go against the grain by believing that you should learn a swing thats repeatable first and allow the grip to develop and be final controlling factor . Someone with a good solid connection will have had to have developed the grip to suit the shot , a good grip cannot imo exist without the swing it suits .

Some observations: Your first tip does the same thing as Martin Hall’s EDPU (Elbows Down - Palms Up) technique of gripping in the air with shaft vertical which is to put the radius and ulna bones in the forearm which can rotate the hands 180° from palm up supination to palm down pronation at the middle of that range. That combined with the way the Vardon / Interlaced grip connect the hands and lowering the club allows the trail hand to apply pressure to the lead in the takeaway to prevent pronation, swinging too much inside followed by the over the line outside-in path on the way down, a problem I had in my swing as a beginner because I used an underhanded trail hand grip. What I realized Hall’s “grip in air with bent elbows” did which gripping with club on the ground did not was to STRETCH the muscles in the arms as the club is lowered and arms straighten. The grip causes both forearms to rotate inwards which creates counter-torque between the hands at the base of the thumbs allowing trail hand pressure to prevent lead arm pronation, and the stretching of the muscles controlling the fingers curl them tighter WITHOUT ANY WRIST LOCKING CONTRACTION which will inhibit radial - ulnar deviation lag and the ability to generate effortless club head speed. Regarding the second tip, the overlapping grip was gospel according to Vardon and Hogan and it was Jack Nicklaus who used and popularized the interlaced variant. He explained the reasoning in ‘Golf My Way’ which was the first golf instruction book I purchased in the mid-1980s-he has short fingers. To emphasize that isn’t a problem with regard to golf grip he put a life-size outline of his two hands in the center spread of the book. I put my hands over them and they fit perfectly 😊 which is why the interlaced grip has always worked best for me. The term “cadet” for sizing glove gloves was a result of those designed for Nicklaus with longer palms but shorter fingers. If I use med. glove the finger length is perfect but the palm too tight. Large gloves fit my palm but the fingers are 5mm too long. A “large cadet” glove fits perfectly 😊 A very interesting useful tip about what to do with the pinkie finger is one I read attributed to Tommy Amour Sr. who stressed always keeping pressure on the forth pinkie finger so the third finger doesn’t loosen. I discovered there is a physiological reason for this. There are two different nerve branches controlling the fingers with the radial nerve controlling the pinkie and half of the third finger. So if you raise up the pinkie the third finger will also reflexively lift. The other nerve branch controls the thumb, index, middle and other half of the third finger. If you can do the split finger \\ // Dr. Spock Vulcan salute from Star Trek it indicates your third finger is controlled by the radial branch. If you can’t and do this \ | // instead the third finger is control by the other. Either way always keeping light pressure on the pinkie fingers of both hands at all times in the swing will improve the grip on the club. 😊

How is the fingers down method different from what Adam Scott does in his preshot setup?

@johnmartin7986 4 ай бұрын

When you did the drill with the driver at parallel you said the face was pointing to the sky, is this correct or should I the face be pointing out in front of you?

You didn’t mention the reverse overlap. This year I experimented with it and felt ABSOLUTELY natural. I’ve played every grip possible and now this feels best.

Golf hacks for…golf hacks. How poetic 🤣 as a self proclaimed hack myself, my favorite grip tip is using a black leather glove - always looks fresh never dirty!

I don't understand the "hate" among "better" golfers for the baseball grip. I use it a lot with driver and short irons when I am faced with tight paths--or I need to block one side of the fairway/green. One prime advantage of a baseball grip for American golfers is that many of us already know and use that grip to play...well...baseball. When you swing a bat, you are doing many of the things a golfer does to hit the ball...so give it a try.

Tell me what you think about this logic. I'm right handed. My right hand is way more dominant than my left. Why would I then remove one of my dominant hand fingers from the grip. If anything, I would want one of my fingers from my non-dominant hand removed. Which is what I do. I have a reverse-overlap grip. All five of my fingers of my dominant hand (right hand) are on the grip. And my pointer finger of my non-dominant hand (left hand) is on top of my pinky finger of my dominant hand.
