This Grip Mistake WRECKS 97% of Swings (But Nobody Knows About It!)

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*GRIP! Don’t fall foul of this error! The idea of what your trying to do is correct but not implementing it correctly*

[@JamieConnolly-v9k]

Keep the short and sweet videos coming Alex. Straight to the point and they all show great tips.

[@DD31-tn9ls]

Of all of the KZbin channels, yours helps me the most but to each their own. You create amazing content that’s relatable and just the right duration. Cheers!

[@Big-Crow]

He’s good but need to chill on the secondary spine tilt just a little

[@JTCulverhouse]

This is a fantastic tip Alex. It makes so much sense and explains why I still slice the ball sometimes with a "stronger" grip. The door knob turning idea is brilliant.

[@georgeohara550]

Is that grip used when hitting your irons ?

[@taishilaforetch.353]

This really helps me understand that a strong grip may be compromising my elbows. Thanks for the tip. I’ve been going back to a bit of a weaker grip recently because i think i’ve been lining up my club face wrong.

[@MorGuitarz]

love it! you've got a great way of explaining & providing examples

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Happy to hear that!

[@glennnorris5208]

Alex, you have been on fire for me lately in terms of your tips matching exactly what I have needed to hear. Having the left forearm crease facing upwards has been a game changer. I always inadvertently set my forearm facing right and have NEVER been able to comfortably get my arms to release. That grip with the left forearm facing right blocked me from making the full swing. Thank you so much.

[@jamesdavis5517]

Yes, but does that grip (which works for me), transpose to the irons?

[@josephmcguire1537]

Well done! Simple explanation with good detail.

[@sap1374]

I been trying to work out why ive been fading and its so clear to me now with your instruction. My forearm was so much to the side instead of facing up. Just fallen into a very bad habit. Must of been getting lucky with the straighter strikes but on reflection it was poor practice. Thanks so much alex. Keep up the great content👏👏

[@grantsinclair153]

Went and tried it today - really helped - have been struggling with lack of distance and chicken winging - same grip for irons?

[@paultheriault7229]

Wish I knew this years ago. My season ended Monday but I have saved it so I can watch it again next spring. I am positive this will help me. Thanks

[@ronmacklin5995]

Great hand placement and and elbow placement, never thought of that makes great sense. Thanks Alex!! 😄

[@shakebake3124]

Great videos Alex, how tall are, what is your driver shaft length?

[@c00raw67]

Thank you! I really need to try this. I somehow keep slicing!!! And I need more power. Any tips on that?

[@franciscoarista]

Thanks Alex for this great tip , sometimes I relax my grip and the slices come out.

[@Rooney_the_grey_bird]

Perfectly explained, pal. I'm personally struggling to get over 100 yards with any iron, or driver, totally new to golf and only know the game well by playing online games & watching events on TV. Now I'm trying to play in person, it sure is, a whole different ball game 😂

[@andybecker5001]

Good explanation. It’s also painful on the elbow the wrong way.

[@ernieprobert5396]

This will help stop my slice hopefully thanks again Alex great lesson again straight to the point

[@charlesrohl7635]

Definitely will try this ! Have been struggling mightily w/my driver.🤞👍

[@ernestcsiszar-uc5mq]

Hi Alex! I have a baseball grip. Is there a weak, strong or neutral grip for that? Many thanks...and truly enjoy your videas as a new subscriber. All the best!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Neautral i would say!! Hope it helps? And thanks for subscribing

[@1striperon]

Thanks, Coach.

[@larryondovic203]

So I tried this today and it straightened out my drives very nicely. Thanks so much. Hit 6 out of 7 fairways.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it helped! Thank you for letting me know

[@Mikebull888]

Love Alex clear and simple

[@khamkenchanh2735]

Love this tip cos I was having a tough time releasing my driver when I was using the simulator and I created so much backspin and lost around 30 yards on most of my drives.😢 Hopefully, I'll be able to do better next time. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful tips!!

[@JulianCross-wk2cq]

Excellent tip 🎉

[@jimmyj244820]

Alex are you actually turning the face closed at impact?

[@billgalante1181]

Great video.

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you foe another very helpful video.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@patrickursomanno8861]

👍, you showing the release hopefully just helped me. I tend to keep my left arm straight through impact not letting it bend . I like the super slow motion so I can see what's happening, Slow brain is guess😂. Thanks for your help

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi patrick, I have more info on arm position which covers some of the comments you made here in tonight’s video live at 8pm uk time

[@johnmcintyre8724]

Another great video Alex

[@garystride5200]

Good one for sure😊

[@royclose946]

Nice one alex 👏 😊

[@midlifebiker7424]

Need a 9 holer vid as this is trending right now. Scrambles are a cop out, fixing the poor shots makes the golfer....

[@stace2953]

Mother great vid.. Thanks.

[@beardybrowsingdude]

The missing part of explanation now is how to feel the right hand match with the left in the grip. For example, if I am not careful I can grip my right hand too low, which causes all sorts of issues.

[@gregmurphy6997]

Is this strictly a driver only technique?

[@Gustie68]

Amen!

[@tomb4060]

I've changed to that grip based on the way Mike Malaska teaches and the way he tells you to place your trail hand square with the clubface has completely changed my game. I have added 20 yards to each club and my average drive is 260 to 270.. the best golf of my life and you don't need to manipulate the clubface. I like your stuff but absolutely have to disagree with you 100%.. my palm almost faces the ground with my lead hand and my trail hand is a square with the face. And everything he teaches makes sense and is simple. Especially to those of us who played baseball. His saying is that golf is an old game and nobody has invented anything new.. now I realize what most are teaching made the game more difficult..

[@markchen8182]

so it’s actually wrong when some pros say, point the left elbow at the target

[@kenbrown2808]

proud to be in the 3% that took good instruction while adjusting my grip. I still have to work on consistency, but in the charity match I was one of the two long drivers in my foursome.

[@TheBailiff2]

Victor Hovland has his elbow to target

[@JohnnyLREACTS]

Tell me something. Where do you get 97% from???

[@james18paice]

Peer-reviewed scientific studies of course...

[@JulianCross-wk2cq]

Who cares 😂 it’s a great free tip!
