Todd, Hello from Tulalip, WA. I love your approach and your videos. In fact I just bought your book. I started playing last summer at 56 years of age. I initially tried the Varden overlap grip. After playing with that grip for a bit I tried the interlock grip and felt much better. I now use that grip as it gives me the most secure feeling of connection to the club.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Peter, thanks for the kind words and posting. Will be curious to get your feedback on the book. It was a lot of fun to do. 👊

I’m trying to get back into golf after 25+ years. It’s been a real challenge and a reminder of how tough this game is. I’ll be looking forward to trying this at the range tomorrow. Great video. I’ve definitely been taking my grip wrong. I’ve got so many lateral dispersion issues. I’m a good enough striker that a better grip may be the key to really getting my score down

Hi Todd, great job. I use the interlock grip for more accurate shots, and i use the Vardon grip for the "finesse" shots. I always grip the club the way you are showing in this lesson. Ile-des-chenes, Manitoba Canada Can't wait to get out and hit some balls. Great job to Nick also :)

Damn whats a tip - Just watched - i haven't hit a ball yet since watching this but i know its gonna help! I feel more control on the back swing as i hold the club right now. I was definitely a palm gripper!!

[@mikesteeler3407]

I used to use an interlock grip. I am 65 and hurt the ring finger on my right hand this year. It was painful to swing with my old grip. I switched to a baseball grip mid year. WOW. I felt like I was hitting the ball much better. No noticeable distance on my woods but my irons went a bit further but, most noticeable to me was the bite the ball had now. I was getting spin I never experienced before. As I looked at my swing I realized that my wrists became more a part of my swing with the baseball grip than I ever experienced with the overlap. I seemed to be hitting the ball more square. But, as the season neared end here in PA, I started pulling my drives. I had always been a down the middle guy, not long. Now I was a left (pull) hitter and still not long. My average drive is down to 178 yards this year and playing from the senior tees made that acceptable.

[@jamesherzog-zq6hg]

Try weakening your right hand to what will feel like a ridiculous amount.

[@stephenkimner1198]

I use the overlap grip. As a JV high school golf coach, I spend a lot of time teaching players how to grip the club correctly. I also try to get them to establish a pre-shot routine, stance for address, raise club to check grip, visualize the shot, take a practice swing, check alignment to target, address ball, exhale slowly, swing at 80%. It is a challenge to get new players to competitive golf to establish this routine but those who do are making progress.

[@deniseckert213]

72 year old from the Seattle area. Ever since I started playing golf over 50 years ago I used the interlock grip, until the last 6 months. I was not getting enough wrist cock at the top and I found by switching to the overlap grip, I could get an additional 20 degrees more wrist angle. Therefore, more speed - which I need at 72. Thanks for helping us "experienced" golfers.

I use an interlock grip. Tried the overlap, but it felt odd and a little less secure. I've found upping the grip size on my clubs very helpful. Jumbo grips were too much, but midsize work for me. I have reasonably large hands and long fingers and had to hold the club too firmly with thin grips. Now I find I can keep the hands relaxed.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Laurie, great points you make here...the larger grips can make it difficult to get the club into the fingers and out of the palm....appreciate you adding to the conversation!

[@gagemead27]

Trying to get back into Golf after 15 ought so years, and I'm trying to learn everything I can. This definitely helps a bunch. Hopefully I can apply this more frequently. Switch from Interlock and 10 Finger. Don't know which I like better. 10 finger feels more natural, but interlock allows for more control when it comes to the club face... I dunno. Just gotta keep at it, I guess. 🤘🏻

[@krissaundersjoinery2881]

This is a great instructional video. After watching this many times I've gone to practice and after looking at my glove it's fair to say I've been holding the club in my Palm all this time and the wear marks on the glove proves it. Obviously because I've been holding the club wrong all along I'm finding the proper grip into the fingers very strange so it's taking some getting used to. I would love to use the Vardon/overlap grip but again after using the interlocking all this time the overlap seems odd. 15 years ago before I ever played golf my left hand got caught in a woodworking machine and I lost the top half of my ring finger so that is now the length of my little finger, so I've not got a good grip I would say. Do you recommend I continue to try the overlap or something else? Kris

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Kris, appreciate you sharing your story. This is motivation for others to keep learning...thank you. Sorry to hear of your injury...based on your situation we suggest an interlock grip.

I have never tried the 10-finger grip. I have problems coming over the top and pulling the ball. A friend suggested changing to the Vardon grip. Do you agree with that change?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Our preference is for an overlap grip, however this can be based on the individual. The overlap grip seems to help get the club more in the fingers for many players. In regards to the over the top move, it could be a variety of things. If you are interested, I have a full chapter in my book on this www.badliegolfbook.com/

Can skip the first 3 minutes.

[@scoopmendenhall1008]

Why don’t you teach to put golf club a little left

[@stickgs]

Why do we not see Touring Professionals taking their grip at 45* angle? They all take their grip with the club set behind the ball at address...???

[@user-gc2pv2hw8u]

Because they know how to grip the club lol, he’s trying to help us out

[@steverogers2603]

Need close ups

[@tyroneshoelaces315]

10 finger grip cus the chicks dig it

[@darrincoy9361]

Uh what?

[@johnbailey2266]

3.5 minutes spent on how to grip the club wrong. why not spend more time on how to do it right?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

John, appreciate your honest feedback. We like to provide some context to the message we are delivering. This is why we cover the "reasons why" some golfers make the mistake we are trying to fix. Hope that helps....

[@redghost3170]

John - how about you make a video and do it however you want, and let the experts do it the way they want? Sheesh. I can’t believe the nerve of people like you.

[@jerrybennett7856]

If you do not know what you are doing wrong and why, how can you fix it.

[@usatrooper5045]

Your either a democrap or you have ADHD 🤭😂 let the pro explain why your not doing it right. 🤪🇺🇲

[@nis4nikki1]

John - he did explain how you should be holding the club. His explanation was perfect!!! Perhaps you fell asleep during the explanation or perhaps you have the attention span of an imbecile.

[@drewsmith1229]

1 v 1 me

[@bigwheelrecording3588]

Yet nothing about the trail hand placement. Not a good video.

[@scoopmendenhall1008]

Why don’t you tell people to keep club in a straight line

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Can you expand on your question? Not sure I understand?

[@kennethmay1786]

overlap

[@dawsonreynolds6354]

Definitely gripping the club wrong.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

We are learning...this is good!

[@mrsubjective8859]

Errrrrm so the bottom hand doesn’t matter?? At least do a video on the full grip 😅

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Ask and you shall receive, see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKa2mYSFZ6-Grq8si=msXjSGN6MBrjtZhz

[@bobbys4327]

There is NO perfect grip.
