STRONG GRIP DRIVER GOLF SWING

[@jeffg4479]

Thanks for the tips. I'm coming back to the game after 2 years off. Used to hit my driver really well but i've been really struggling with it now. I'll give this a shot!

[@smil1958]

Great to see a golf coach actually hitting balls during video as so many don't,I have changed to strong grip and am now hitting irons much better,driver still needs some work to stop hooks but sticking with it.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Really get your rear elbow under through the hit. I get the hooks when my body stalls and my arms straighten too early.

[@lhg4465]

Hi Christo, found your channel 3-4 weeks ago. I really enjoy the work you have published. I am 52 and play off a 3.5 index. Your videos/comments on having lost distance trying to find the fairway resonated with me. I have always hit a long ball however this year I am not much more then 240-250 off the tee and my scoring has suffered on par 5's. I took your short thumb and stronger grip to the range today and was hammering the ball, I had scoped a back tree on the range and I was flying my straight drives and slight pulls into the middle of the tree at 240 so I am assuming that I was carrying the ball 250+. I had a slight pull and then baby fade back, this is not a problem as that can be worked with on the course.the sound of the ball was really good coming off the club face. I did however find that 30% of my drives were deep but they started right (like a block and then a big slice), this is uncommon for my swing. My question is...Is this possible from being to close to the ball. I have been working hard on starting my downswing with the ground and dropping my right elbow down. Are there any of your previous videos I should take a look at or do you have any suggestions. Thank you in advance for any response.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Lance Howard Group Hi Lance! Welcome to MSE. I’d check out Right Elbow Under. You’re a good golfer so there’s a lot to choose from!

[@kellymiller7859]

Excellent video and I also have moved back to a stronger grip. I can tell from watching your driver swing you are much flatter than me in the backswing which I am sure helps you in many ways? I have a much steeper swing which is not working well with the driver? It's easy for me to hit either a smothered hook or even lose drives way right. I am definitely going to work on flattening my backswing and keeping my right elbow under the left like you state here. I will be looking for more videos you make using a strong grip. Cheers!

[@dseveno8254]

It's genuinely spooky how similar this is to the transition I've made in my later years. Flipped the club through impact for 35 years and decided I either find a new way to swing, or quit for good. Got help from a former Canadian tour pro (who also had to start his swing from scratch because it was costing him money on tour). He was taught the Hogan method of release and has passed it on to me. It's taken a long time to get the brain rewired, but it's working big time. So frustrating to know that this knowledge has been out there since Mr. Hogan made his swing changes back in '46. Better late than never ;) Thanks for the great content.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

DsevenO That’s great news! Thanks for watching. 🙌🏻

[@NicLewis]

Looking really good. I've been fighting my strong grip but I feel most comfortable using it so I've decided to keep it and make it work. Going to be trying your technique at the driving range. Thanks for the vid.

[@smokedawg9371]

Excellent video !!!

[@derekholyfield6089]

Good for you! Its nice to see a good classic swing.

[@deanc8077]

So timely to find this. I suddenly started shanking my irons and struggle to get back on track everytime it happens. Your video here reminded me that your setup is spot on to my driver setup. It never occurred to me that adjusting my right hand slightly stronger could correct the issue. I hit a small bucket of balls today with my right hand only adjusted slightly stronger. OMG instant success got so back on track. Keep posting helpful content for sure.

[@thethrillgiants49erssf79]

Awesome video on the strong grip I've just recently tried it because I kept flipping the club low and left and it's working. You have a new subscriber.

Great news! This is the way most tour guys are doing it today.

[@ColbyStewart1965]

Great swing!! You described exactly what I'm going through! I'd I changed my grip like you did and had to deal with the pull hooks but slowly realized. Great swing

[@nealhamamura4263]

I am changing to a strong grip when I found this video. Thanks. Gave me some things to think about.

[@NewJerusalem77]

Your setup looks great. There is a huge advantage when you have DJ/Koepka distance. Hogan had no problem keeping right elbow under so weak grip was ok for him. I feel I have so more hinge with stronger grip.

[@randymotsinger5045]

I really like what you are doing. After watching Kurt Junge’s method I started to strengthen my grip and leaning back a little. I am hitting the ball much straighter and longer. Thanks for the great video.

[@maxdre]

Hey Randy- i've also been doing Kirk's method, any tips on keeping from pulling or hooking using the Setup for Impact swing with a string grip? It is so much more comfortable and organic for me, but still struggle with hooking. Thx in advance.

[@randymotsinger5045]

I have found I need to keep the right elbow close to the body on the downswing. I also keep the upper part of my left arm against my upper chest to keep from swinging out to in.

[@wallstreetoneil]

If you are looking for the last 15% of carrying distance, you are now going to have to focus on your real actual launch conditions - spin and angle of attack. It would appear from your ball placement and slow motion swings, that your AoA is probably around 0 - and thus your spin & launch can still be made more optimal for launch. There is a good video out by TXG golf that shows with the exact same swing speed that if you can take your AoA from a Player Avg of -2 to -1 to +3 to +4 you will basically gain 13% carry distance for free. Justin Thomas has two swings he uses - one is +2 AoA and one is +5 when he goes for Max distance. Keopka is actually one of the older swing style hold outs, but he has a 186mph ball speed, he apparently is avg -1 (uses it for his trap fade). The young long bombers are all +3 to +5 AoA with sub 2000rpm spin with their driver. If you go to a launch monitor you will see that to get those types of numbers you need to have the ball slightly more forward and you need it teed higher. Your new stronger grip will work great so you may as well embrace the the rest of the modern high launch low spin hit up on it driver swing as well. Embrace the insanity. Nice video

[@kylecorrigan2449]

Paul O'Neil 186 mph ball speed you mean not club head speed that would be funny tho I completely agree with what you’re saying regardless

[@wallstreetoneil]

Sorry ball speed yes - it is hard to believe it when you see it on screen. I have raised mine from 145'ish to low-mid 150s and now aiming for 160 as a reach goal. 186 is just mind bending. I went to the Canadian Open and saw DJ on #18 hitting it 185mph and flying it 330 with a lob wedge into the Par5

[@somemass472]

Yes, incredible gains to be had from optimizing launch conditions. Definitely requires some getting used to: teeing up higher, more forward in stance, even different alignment since a forward ball position changes the path direction at impact. One may need to change their clubhead and shaft to reap the full benefits of this change - a club optimized for a neutral or downward AoA will probably launch too high and spin too much when used with a positive AoA. Most people that try my driver can't hit it over a cart... and most drivers I try fly straight up with massive loss of distance.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Great point

[@bobt5778]

I used the same neutral grip for 40 yrs until I saw a TV analyst at the recent US Open point our a Pro who used a neutral left combined with a strong right. The analyst also pointed out the player's shorter backswing as a model for improved consistency. Something about both comments struck me, so since then, I have worked diligently at both applying both concepts and what a difference! I was never long, but have gained at least a club or two because of center face contact much more often. Point is, don't be afraid to make adjustments out of your comfort zone, and if you do stick with it - give each adjustment a good long test drive.

[@randywatson9585]

Both hands stronger or just the right? Also...your right arm is below your left at 2:31 just like it is in the opening swing where you ripped it. Your hips began to clear early in the swing at 2:31. Or at least earlier than they did in your opening rip....but what do I know.

[@steveking2144]

[@jimmason8502]

Great swing! I have a pretty neutral grip and my problem is either a push fade or a hook. Maybe a stronger grip will help me keep the club on plane and the face square?

[@theamaturegolfer7798]

This video is perfect for driving. I’m telling you mate I switched to a stronger grip with Driver with less wrist rotation and it’s given me another 20 to 30 yards. I’m peaking 300 yards now on a good day. You can really rip it. What these PGA pros fail to understand is the traditional Ben hogan neutral grip they teach is outdated. The games moved on. All the top pros have super strong grips like DJ, Bubba, Koepka. Go Strong and hit it long.

[@khamkenchanh2735]

Hi Christo. Just carious if you could share about your grip pressure and whether you aimed differently with your new strong grip? Love all your great lessons here since I'm always looking for ways get that 10-15 extra yds cos I'm almost 55 now and still want to be able to compete in our city events where some courses are 6700 -6900 yds long. Thank you and I wish you're close to me so I can take some lessons from you. Keep up the great work and let me know if you get a chance to come to Fort Wayne area in the future.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Kham Kenchanh I’d say my pressure is 4 out of 10 with a driver.

[@headlesssoldier]

I swing VERY similar. My teacher converted me to a "linear force " golf swing. I also had a terrible smother hook on my drive. Now its gone! On the downswing the very first thing is to rip your LEFT shoulder up and away from your chin. (think 6-8 inches way. even though this isnt what happens lol). On your smother you hit in the video...two things. your shoulder pattern is flat on the down swing and you hang back on the flip. I used to think the EXACT same thing with my right elbow staying underneath the plane etc. Its too hard to manage. Just think move left with the lower body on the downswing and your left shoulder MUST move up and away. you WILL NOT come over the plane and/or right elbow wont be lost. my fault then was leaving the ball out right because I was used to holding it off and staying back on my right foot. Make sure you rip that left shoulder up and away so your shoulders stay tilted. Once I got used to its unleash the bomb central.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Great comment. Agreed!

[@sinaazimi7328]

This greatly helped with fixing my slice. Now I hit more of a baby fade which I’m good with. Do you use the same strong left hand grip with irons?

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Sina Azimi Not as much because I hook it too much!

[@jbergeron2981]

This really resonated with me. I've been trying to switch to a more neutral driving grip to avoid snap hooks for the last year. But, it just feels so unnatural and I have a hard time controlling the drive, costing me a lot of strokes. I am at the point now where I feel I am better off playing a consistent hook b/c at least I know where the ball is going. I noticed recently when I use a stronger grip I have a tendency to close the club face on my driver, have you had any issues with this?

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Yes, I have had issues with that and I have to keep my rear elbow under on the downswing to keep the face from rolling too shut!

[@howardruter2625]

Great videos! I have put your OTT method to work with my driver and the rest of my clubs as well and have gained 15-25 yards of distance! How can I stop shanking my irons on downhill lies? Any advice would be welcomed! Thanks!!

[@pdubs7069]

I like how you pause talking so you don't distract yourself while in your backswing... great etiquette! PS: changing to the strong grip completely changed my game for the better!! The game is really fun again!

[@theamaturegolfer7798]

All the big hitters have a strong grip, bubba, DJ, smash it. If your a slicer you should adopt a strong grip, 4 knuckles but as this guy said if you don’t stay behind the ball it’s slicing or hooking big time. I adopted a strong grip when I drive, neutral with irons a I can pull it.

[@richardtrenchik1680]

Great tips. I’ve been using you grip and it works great!

[@DTHUNDERDK]

Oohhh my f...... god. I have to try this. You said it all and it makes sense toward how I play. First off all I play only once a week. I drive it sooo bad I have to use my "go to club" way to often (Adams Idea Pro Black 20°). Makes me have 7, 6 and 5 irons to the green. My drive is almost always a straight push, sometimes a push fade and I hit it long, so it is always in the woods. (Meaning I come nicely from the inside. When it is in the fairway, I have a 50° to 9 iron in the hand and always make a par with a look at birdie. Next range session I will make my right hand stronger (Lefty). Keep my head back (one of my problems) and elbow under and hit it hard towards the target, with the thought of a fade shot. No rolling, or little, with the underarm. Looking forward trying this. Thanks.

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

It's great fun!

[@jerrycombs801]

Worked great at the range for me today, thanks for a great video.

[@chachifeere]

been fighting the driver all rear with slice trying many things, i was doing a "stronger" left and but a weak hand right hand .but the last few days ive been working a proper strong grip, went to a golf shop to try drivers yesterday and hit some of the best drives ever , 280-290 carry and over 300 total . but i did have that dread hook alot, have you watched wisdom in golf shawn promotes a strong grip. with a strong grip

[@Icekul0113]

Sweet looking and highly effective swing!

[@bhags59]

Good shit dude. It’s all about the hand path and keeping that face square throughout the swing. Most strong grippers are playing primarily fades so that fallacy that you’re oriented to hook the ball is a fallacy. Work the club left and hit the baby cuts all day

[@a.u.2035]

Christo, I went to a strong baseball grip just with my driver and it feels so comfortable - like the hammer blow you mention. there is no question that with modern drivers, grip and AoA are radically different than what they were doing 50+ years ago with persimmon drivers. could you discuss this divergence more? it is very interesting.

[@nickpritchard7130]

Excellent vid. I am going through the same transition.ie, looking for a more reliable way of driving.. This swing works with all my irons, 2 through lob wedge..Will try with 3 wood and driver next range time....Great vid.. Thanks

[@chachifeere]

Do you keep the right arm/elbow close to the body ? Or just under the lead arm. Like right forearm facing sky

[@gensyed]

Keep at it, you are on the right path

[@Jeetz]

strong grip is a must when learning, as you can compress the juice out of the ball. but might be smart to back off as you improve to reduce the likelihood of the dreaded snap hook. Also you can shape both ways easier with a more neutral

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

Yes. Couples and Trevino hit fades with strong grips.

[@petera1033]

You are stuck between all the Hoganisms in your journey - whilst looking at more single plane swing - right now ( see 11.30ish in slow mo) you have to flip your hands to catch up with an extreme posting of left leg - which is what is generating a lot of your power of course.

[@rickcicalo410]

Cristo, this is uncanny. For the last three years I have been fighting a terrible snap hook with my driver. I almost quit the game several times. No matter what I did, the face would snap closed at impact. Even when I somehow managed to hit it straight (very rare) it was a very low shot. I had the same thought as you regarding the right elbow. If the right elbow is under the left at impact, the club face is far less likely to be closed at impact. Now the question became, "how do I do that?". That's when I made my right hand grip stronger and it has made a huge difference. This has taught me that I should not be trying "tips and "secrets" to try and play better. That's liking taking medicine for an illness you don't have. Rather, look at your ball flight and let that be your coach.

[@danlopez8313]

Would you do your irons like that as well

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

For me not as strong. I start to get too steep.

[@Solitonyc]

The neutral grip is greatly over rated. Every coach I had tried to get me to utilize the neutral grip, but it never worked for me. I wasted 10 years trying to make it happen because I thought, that was the grip all the best golfers used, especially Tiger Woods. I went to GolfTec 3 years ago, who are technique agnostic, and they said that in my case, I'm better off going back to a strong grip. With me, the problem with the neutral grip is that it promoted flipping at impact, I tended to block right or slice on my misses, and it diminished my full club head speed potential. I suffered for years trying to cure a flip at impact, the resulting ballooning ball flight and block and slice right misses. Going back to a strong grip eliminated all that mess and I gained a more penetrating ball flight with slight draw and pretty much eliminated the dreaded slice. It also helped me get my hands ahead of ball at impact consistently to hit down on the ball better, resulting in more compression and better ball flight. I also learned that many big hitters on PGA Tour utilize a strong grip, like DJ, Rory, Bubba and many others. Like putting, I believe grip is a very personal thing, and should not be taught as a standard technique. Neutral is probably a good starting point, but I think as you get better at the game, you should experiment with many different techniques and utilize techniques that work for your body.

[@MaqAttaq1]

[@peterupinya2741]

You are on the right track with the hogan power golf grip. Hogan played with a strong left hand and weak right hand before his car wreck. You have to have passive hands with the strong grip. You will also have tremendous leverage when your left thumb is able to support the shaft in your swing.

[@555Trout]

Looking good. Love the deweights pressure shift pivot. That's what I see as your best improvement the last months. You know it's impossible to define grip strength cause everyone's anatomy is so different and wrist mobility and forearm mobility vary gratly in people. How one's arms naturally off the shoulders is a good tell how one should hold the club. The more the palms are pointed behind one the "stronger" there best grip will appear. In the left hand that is, but the right will appear "weak". So I just don't see a way to generalize about what constitutes a strong grip. Highly individual. Bad mistake imo for us to copy a player's grip. Face angle and shaft flex via how kicked forward the head is at impact have a huge impact on best grip for the long game too. Interestingly, Hogan's woods we're quite hook faced for example. It's matching all the variables more than strong vs weak me thinks. Trevino comes to mind also, "strong" grip yet supreme fader. It's complicated. DJ, super strong gip and fader. So I think we need to put the strong/weak stuff out to pasture and start a different concept. Grip related to anatomy and club specs and preferred ball flight. By no means does your grip look 'sgrong" to me. Looks "proper" for you. Anyway, looking good there Christo.

What are the benefits of a weak grip?

[@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz]

Pretty sure Hogan had a hook problem for a while, maybe it was only a problem after his accident, idk. All I know is I heard he had a weak grip because he was trying to prevent the ball from going left. Now, I'm just guessing here, but I imagine that likely meant he could aim for left-center, and work it slightly left to right. That baby fade can be crazy accurate. Again, no idea what ball flight he actually had, although I imagine it changed over the years.

[@johnaustin635]

No that was before the accident and his “ Power Golf “ publication after the accident he stood more erect and adopted a weaker grip as advocated in The Modern Fundementals “ in the early fifties.

Johnny Miller says, "grip it strong to go long".

Strong grip is the best grip you just have to learn how to control it.

Bob Toski said, "Airmail without zip code is no good". Think of your right elbow coming to your right hip as you turn and the right elbow will stay under the left without having think about it.

[@joeldriver5356]

The two best players of all time (Tiger and Jack) and also Hogan all have grips that are effectively neutral with the V in their thumbs pointing to their right shoulder which is what is recommended. You can play with a strong grip but you are going to have to make compensations to not hook it which brings more timing into play. Your grip has nothing whatsoever to do with your swing path. If you have a poor swing path going to strong won't change it. Lessons will.

You are totally wrong. If you have a stronger grip you feel the clubhead is straigthening without any compensations or flip. If you feel it you are able to hit much easier from the inside and delay the hit automatically. There are other great players than Jack and Woods and the swing evolves all the time as does equipment.

The late Peter Thomson did this on all shots.

Spine tilt, that's Todd Graves/Moe Norman.

[@dadmaxx8641]

Strong is long. There are 0 long drive competitors that use a neutral or weak grip. This tells me that if you want to hit it long you need a strong grip. Your spine tilt back away from the target becomes necessary. And like you said, it's easier to keep our head behind the ball.

Do you agree with this interesting thought, a weak grip is easier to bow the wrist and a strong grip is easier to cup...interesting conundrum

[@MiracleSwingExperience]

probably right
