Top 5 Golf Grip Tips to Fix Your Swing

[@bobsicuro5816]

This video and one other video you had the 123 steps for hitting driver...Excellent. i went from hitting good then loosing it..once i watched video on grip i thought maybe that's my problem and i tryed these tips on weak and strong grips & it was a game changer!! started killing my drives and controlling the flight!! thank you!!!!!! you explain and instruct in a manner that the average golfer can understand. i've helped a friend of mine who is a retired veteran,and he could'nt believe what a difference it made.....thanks again!! Bob S.

Good info Matt. I have always used the interlock grip (leftie) until 7 months ago when most of my shots were going right. I began to play around with my grip and changed to the 10 finger grip. Immediate difference and my shots were going straight and with loft. It wasn't a fluke, I counted 28 shots, all straight. I now use the 10 finger grip all the time with huge improvements.

[@_dboy_]

I'm 37 and have been playing since I was about 12 years old. Started out with the 10 finger grip, around 15 I used the overlap and interlock trying to make it feel good for a couple years and hated it. But I stuck with it because "that's what the good players do". Unfortunately those years were in the middle of my competitive playing days and I think my scores suffered because of the trying to adapt. It was so uncomfortable to me. Eventually I went back to the 10 finger grip and I still use it til this day. I'm not a great player by any means (about 12-14 hdcp), but at least my grip is consistent and comfortable. Once in a while I try to hit some shots with the others and it's so weird. But he's so right it gets me back comfortable quickly. I guess the moral of the story, and my long winded conclusion is do what works. Glad to see someone else does this too. 😎🤣 Any time I tell anyone I use baseball grip they can't believe it! Has anyone reading this played with any decent adult golfer who uses this grip too? Just curious. Hit em well!

[@Cmorep3]

I have a super strong grip as a right hand golfer I tend to hook left I’ve been trying to change my grip and it seems very odd. but I’ve never considered starting off with my wedges I will have to try chipping first. that was awesome advice thank you.

[@csdnb5647]

Pretty much all of your tips work. So easy to remember on course! What a great channel !!!

[@frankbeck5252]

Thanks alot . Just got back from range. My grip was way to long. Shortened it up and was making good contact. Thanks again

[@cr4sythe22]

That setup is amazing love the overhead lighting

[@evantench6651]

Solid advice for the recreational golfer. Hardest thing to do is shed bad habits. If you learned how to play without instruction you more than likely do a few things differently than the current state of the art being taught. Changing your grip is very hard to do unless you are intent on playing competitive golf and possess the motivation that it takes. The relief you feel when you grip it like you always have is indeed relaxing when returning from the extremes of strong and weak. Relaxed is never a bad thing. Good video.

[@grungeface]

It’s not hard to change if you are not playing competitive golf. Just go to the range and do it a few times .

[@christophersipple5498]

Thanks for all your videos I'm slowly but surely knocking off shots in my golf game I love the information you provided in your videos. Thanks again

[@FLjeffinPCB]

Thank you Matt. Would you mention grip pressure when you have the chance?

[@frankcanzanella6753]

Winter is hear in the Northeast and I need to take notes on what to practice. Your advice is interesting and I need to explore the possible benefits. I am back to golf since the early 1990’s. My ping putter was shortened too much by the pro in 1991 and I have been unhappy with it since then. But with one more inch added and a thick new grip I have been putting very well. Long putts going in and even more important lag putts getting close. You can’t stand around waiting to fall in love, but when it happens take full advantage. My new driver is better balanced and more forgiving. Being seventy and being able to hit 250-260 yards on my first day with the new driver was special. You’re a straight shooter, be great be good and be lucky

[@BruceAlmty]

Any thoughts on the size of grips for irons? For example, midsize for long irons vs standard size for wedges or vice versa. Thanks

[@EricJNyenhuis]

Loving the videos. Lifetime golfer, now getting time to focus. Love all the tips! Would love videos on putting it all together on different course situations. Decisions, strategy. Definitely a fan!

[@zchanel8186]

Thank you for making these videos i was just about to give up until i watched this good videos keep up the good work

[@ericstinnett9182]

Great video, what has help me is getting the right size grip. I had a normal size grip on my clubs. I was getting blister on my fingers, cause it felt like I had to grip it tighter sounds crazy. So I went to the jumbo size Mcc plus 4. Which made a big difference no more blisters as of right now thanks

[@cgoodson1438]

Thanks Matt, I always enjoy your unique perspective on golf, I don't always agree but I have fun with your presentation. 👍⛳

[@rydnskyhigh]

Omg thank you so much for making this video. Every one of your tips that you explained here, I do all the time or have experimented with at one time in the past. I have always wondered but nobody could ever give me an explanation. I’ve been so trial and error over the past several years doing this but in the end I believe it has made me a better golfer. Thank you so much again for making this video 👊

[@edwardbrown6901]

Great new studio..like the light in the ceiling!! Great video. Great tips..everyone needs to work on the grip!!

[@kionechetty8601]

I was always going the 'long thumb' route with both my hands (right hander) as I thought it gave me more control. Going to the range with this one. Thank you

[@dougkindred8000]

My grip is a super strong. After watching this video I’ve changed to a weaker grip and added about 15 yards to my driver and about 10 yards to my irons. Thank you for the great tips, my golf game is trending the right direction.

[@denonhogue8623]

That’s was excellent. I’ve never quite understood the strong grip - weak grip explained. I know have something to mess around with.

[@YRajProductions]

I have a decent swing but it is inconsistent. I keep hitting it fat... to big a divot. I was told I needed a stronger grip because my grip looks weak. No one told me that you could also fix this by moving your right hand instead of your left hand for the stronger grip. It's 11:30pm and I just went out on my backyard and did a few swings. Then I hit a ball into the darkness, it's okay I live on the edge of a golf course. I could tell I hit it pretty solid, it's dark... and.. wait for it... there was a slight divot.( I also listened to what you said in the other video about don't hit down, which is what I was told to do) I'm going to try this as soon as there is daylight. I like your style, you don't say this is absolutely how you should do it but you have options to correct the problem. Thanks.

[@Criscross292]

Great video! I seem to have better results though when I intentionally stretch out my left thumb. It gives me more distance by lengthening my backswing.

[@pcgamer7507]

Never seen a grip video like this..... brilliant!! Thanks 👍

[@clarkdrago]

Great video, I'm struggling finding my correct grip so this will definitely help. One question I have is regarding your lead hand thumb. I know you said not to stretch it but do you have it running down the centet of the shaft or is it more to the right or left. Thanks for your hard work!

[@stevejohnny1111]

Thanks for this, helpful video.

[@connorsheehangolf7851]

Definitely a great way to decompress...

[@bobburch2151]

Awesome video

[@jackoconnell6225]

Great tips. Any thoughts on grip pressure?

[@christopherwilliams7801]

This made me way more consistent. Your hands are the only things connected directly to the club. I’ve always put my focus on my gloved hand (left hand for me). After watching this video I hit the range and focused on that right hand, putting the club along the second pads of my fingers. I’m hoping the consistency transfers to the course.

[@LOHO8682]

Right thumb, keep it over to the left side of the shaft (not on top shaft), take it to top of backswing, and if the thumb on top of shaft creates tensions in the wrist and prevents the wrist from hinging and creating the lag, keep off to the side and less tension and better lag. Amazing breakthrough for me...

[@김영준-d3h]

[@jlar1984]

What do you do for a living Matt. You have a sweet set up and I would like to know what I’m doing wrong.

[@aaronconsaul6645]

Nice... good points... what happen to the outside 🤔 hitting area?

[@andrewsmith378]

Great info. I just had this happen. I started slicing my driver for 2 rounds and thought I was doing my usual strong grip. But then I just held the club right and boom I realized what was happening. Fixed my swing the next shot. Are there any close vlogs coming?

[@justmythought1586]

Good tips. It is to easy to forget how we grip the club.

[@BruceAlmty]

Any chance Mr. SG could answer my inquiry re grip size for long irons (mid size grip for example) and standard size for wedges, or vice versa? You thoughts MSG?

[@chrisjackson1266]

[@ryantlevins]

[@dominickdelfino7552]

What is the mat section you are actually hitting the ball off of? Is that the divot action mat? I am struggling off of my mat I feel like its too hard. Thx - Dom

[@Bigshoots-ny2pr]

My swing has been squirrely lately, going to take this to the range this afternoon, thanks for the tips!

[@CAxALLDAY]

i am anatomically unable to have a short thumb grip. so guess im screwed. it led to basal joint arthritis, too much stress on the joint at the top of the backswing. im probably doing something wrong but there was so much force exerted on that basal joint, i had to go longer.

[@johnherman3261]

Good information. Now let’s talk about the flex and bowing of the wrist in retrospect to the squaring of the club face. Be safe my friend!

[@marckeen9832]

I used to be able to hit my 5 & 6 irons pretty consistently, but now I feel very uncomfortable hitting them. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Great tips. I couldn't figure out what was causing my gf's swing to go all wonky at the top, where it seems to fall sideways instead of hinge. I think she's long thumbing it with her left hand or with both hands. Thanks

[@nicholascanitano2809]

Hey I go to Atlanta national and white Colums I hope that I can meet u one day thank you for the tips

[@anthonyraineri5190]

Hi Matt, I know you made this video just for me lol. I will be working on my grip over the winter. I use the 2 knuckle shuffle on my left hand ( neutral grip ) and my right hand trying to make a V with my thumb and trigger finger. I had my right thumb straight down the shaft. Hope you are enjoying Georgia.

[@brianbrinegar6086]

Excellent content. This s one of the best "grip fix" videos I've seen. I will be taking these to the range for test! Thank you. :)

[@davidcarnicom5635]

I think Matt mentiin this in a previous video. If you hold your finish after every shot you can look at your grip after a bad one to see what not to do.

[@mikebud8525]

You skipped the 10 finger grip? Are there pros and cons to that grip?

[@jeffnoble1218]

Video starts at 3:10

[@nreid4486]

Try both thumbs on the sides of the shaft. 2’ o’clock & 10 o’clock. You’ll be surprised. You’ll get a better release and greater speed.

[@2007wppu]

I never thought changing my grip would improve my swing and ball flight THAT MUCH thank you Matt!! Great videos keep it up.

[@healthygolfer]

Did you forget to mention the "death grip"? Henrik Stenson's technique!

I was on but now I’m off lol freakin golf man

[@TheHell187]

I found a slice and I can’t get rid of it...?

[@villarrealmarta6103]

I switched to midsized grips and I think it’s hurting my swing.

[@scottsmith8546]

IMHO - Interlocking the hands is the only way to ensure they work together in unison, therefore, ensuring best possible square strike situation and the most consistent ball flight.

[@FullContactDrummer]

I'm overlap with the same grips...but I'm not as good as you! LOL

I stared at the thumbnail for 20 mins trying to find the difference. I want my 20 mins back.

Thanks for the videos but you are 4 Minutes in on a 14 minute video about grip where your thumbnail snares a person like you are getting into something valid then you loose your audience with advertisements and lengthy talking.
