Hi Eric; I've found that what keeps many people from straightening their arms is too much grip pressure which tightens muscles & won't allow full extension. I'm of the opinion that full relaxation of the body is a big part of the swing. Especially shoulders, arms, wrists & hands that allow the club to swing rather than trying to control the club. Hitting positions is obviously important but if your body isn't relaxed, positions won't make a difference for hitting the middle of the clubface which causes inconsistency & loss of distance. This is something that I believe 99% of teachers don't stress enough, especially to beginners. Too much grip pressure causes tension throughout the whole body which is in my opinion the number 1 swing killer. Be well & keep the videos coming!

I'm a beginner and have a question. Should I be loosening my grip throughout the swing, even at point of contact? Or should I make the grip more firm at point of contact?

@mikerodrick2430

18 күн бұрын

Your grip pressure should be the same throughout the swing but the key is keeping the pressure in your last 3 fingers & not to allow your thumbs & forefingers to add pressure. That's what will put tension in your hands & arms & will prevent your arms from swinging freely & be able to straighten.They should only be there for support. I trained myself to do this by making 1armed swings being sure to apply pressure only with the last 3 fingers. I had to squeeze more than I thought I'd have to to be able to control the club so don't grip it too loosely. The more you swing this way, the easier it'll become. Then when you go back to both hands, it'll be easier to hold the grip at the correct pressure. Just be sure to let your arms straighten during the 1 arm swings so you get the feel. I did many many reps before I really felt my fingers gripping enough to control the club so don't expect it to happen too quickly. Be well.

This is the best explanation I’ve ever I’ve ever seen on how to get the proper follow-through. This has already made a huge difference in my swing. Thanks!

Believe me or not Eric, I was about to sell my golf set to a friend because I found the sport very hard to master and I usually find it frustrating specially during practice. Thank God I stumbled upon this video clip of yours in IG one afternoon and boom!!! Recently, I’ve become very very consistent in hitting the ball correctly and with optimal impact. Love it!

@@CogornoGolf Hey man. I shot 3 over 74(par 71) today at a course I had never played. The greens were lightning fast, and this course had more slope than anywhere I had ever played(greens AND fairways). Straight drives, and clean iron strikes on every hole. I was VERY pleased! This course was insanely difficult. I just missed a few greens in the wrong place, and left myself some side hill, and down hill chips that were impossible to get close. For me anyway…..lol. I only had 2 birdies, because of not leaving myself below the hole. I swear I would have shot 4 under at my home course today. Slope, and speed make a BIGGGG difference. Haha Anyway…. I focused on staying “centered” and not swaying. It kept me much more balanced, and swinging within myself. The results of this paid off, my friend.
