I'm 77 years old and took up golf again after quitting golf over 45 years ago out of frustration. I've taken some lessons and watched many online videos. I recently began watching your videos and they have quickly helped me. This video on the grip is simply awesome. Your style of communications, terms, examples and relaxed teaching style are superb, which in turns allow me to understand the many things I've been doing wrong. Its going to be a long journey for me, but your free instructions are helping me immensely. Tks/Steve.

Steve, I couldn’t agree more with your comments.

Danny, Thank you! I just had the best range session ever. I was considering just playing three wood or five wood and living with a smaller slice but now I’ve got the feel and even hit a hook now and then!

Been waiting for you to discuss the grip Danny. I knew that you would really explain in detail and make it easy to follow... perfect! 😃🦘🦘

That’s great Chris, hope it helps

I've been playing golf for 10 years and consistently shoot in the low 80s, but I have never felt comfortable with my grip. I have watched tons of grip videos and always thought I had a good neutral grip based on copying those. I tried what you suggested at 8:00 and wow I FINALLY feel natural swinging the club, like I can release the club head square without manipulating the club face on the down swing! How is it no other grip videos explain this concept?!?!

Danny, I just had to thank you for your video's. I only play 9 holes once a week and never go to the range. I watched your effortless swing video and how to hold the club. By changing my grip to your method I just shot a 45 for 9 holes. The week before I had shot on the same course a 59. That is so much of an improvement! Thanks, again Dave from New Jersey!

Spot on Danny! Can"t wait to take it out to the golf course to see if it can help me!

Great reminder of how important it is to grip the club correctly. I’ve been working on my grip since lockdown one because I just didn’t feel comfortable with club in hand. I went back to basics (GPS) and practiced a lot having watched some of your older tips for Senior golfers. My whole game has changed for the better and my confidence with every club is so much more positive. I’ve saved this video Danny so I can go back and check my grip regularly. I’d finally like to add that for me holding the club correctly has also worked wonders on my stance and posture. They all go together properly now. My whole set up feels so much better and I’m hitting the ball further and straighter with every club. Thanks Danny.

Thanks Danny, you are so right, we stress about so much else and probably don’t notice the club face and how it’s placed ready for a strike or how our hands are facing too. I will be mindful in future of this 💫

Absolutely Georgie, hope you are keeping well

I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this video. I am taking up golf after a 40 year hiatus due to an automobile accident. I'm now 67 and have been having a terrible time hitting the ball correctly and getting a decent loft with a 7 iron. I watched this video and followed your grip recommendations which are not much different from what I was doing, but it was a great improvment. I also shifted my weight to my left side. With my swing, which is not very powerful, I made sure my hands were leading the head and I had a much better performance hitting at the range. I got good high hits which were going about 100 to 125 yards. Much, much better.

Thanks for the great tips in holding the grip properly Danny. This is the technique that would be long forgotten, but most important in golf.

Danny, I don't often post, but have to THANK YOU for this video. I watch a lot of them and they are quite helpful, but this one in particular made a world of difference with my hits and golf game. I am crushing my drives, irons and woods like never before, and (more importantly) NO MORE SLICES!! 280 yard drives. Due largely to the "firm grip", as you say. Clearly, i was holding it wrong, (too open) and my set up was off. The firm grip on the left hand, square to the ball, and correct angle follow through was really what was needed in my game. Yesterday shot a 93 (missed a bunch of putts), but hitting more than half the greens in regulation was such a great success. - thank you so much

Love your videos they make the most sense to me. Wanted to down load your practice plan but could not find it. The practice plans I find are a very valuable addition to your videos.

I'm off to my golf club soon, first time back after five weeks of lockdown here in Spain. I've just been watching a couple of you're videos on the take away and down swing. Thanks for the grip tip I think I'll need all the help i can get today.

Thanks again Danny. These tips and instruction are certainly helping me rebuild my swing after my op (not that it was great before!). Because of left shoulder/pec restrictions I have about half a backswing atm (hopefully it will ease/increase with time). The tips aimed at seniors, which I am as well, really help give me direction.

I knew how to grip a club having played the game for more than 50 years and have always been between 6 - 10 handicap. But why had I started slicing? Then I saw your video Danny. NOW I know why and yesterday, second game out following your 'lesson' I hit my first competition hole-in-one (156m across water). Genius, Danny. Thank you.

Hi Danny, Just wanted to Thank You for all you do... Firstly, your videos are great! Direct and to the point without a lot of fluff. Secondly, I started playing golf two years ago and when I say that I mean really taking it seriously, and last year I went from hitting... don't laugh... 120-130 to hitting in the 90's after watching your videos. The 90's weren't good enough and I was still struggling with my irons. Yes, studied more of your iron videos and got better but still wasn't good enough. Watched another video you made about hitting irons and this video about changing my grip; something I didn't want to do at the beginning of the season... The Results at the range last night were unimaginable. I am hitting my irons with amazing grace and the grip change is even improving driving the ball, straighter, and 20-40 yards farther. I can not thank you enough. Playing 9 holes tomorrow and can not wait. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing.

You are right in saying that a small adjustment in the grip can make a difference. I am a beginner, 63, and after watching this realized I had a weak grip. It seemed I was getting the same distance no matter what club I used, but after making the simple adjustment to a stronger grip I am getting some distance and direction. I am on my way! Thank you.

I've always been told my grip was OK but I was "palmy" based on this video. Changed it - and it's made a huge difference. When I'm addressing the ball, now I make sure I can feel the club balancing between the index finger and the bottom pad. I waggle the club a bit to check. It's added a noticeable distance to my drives, I'm hitting my pitches straighter and I'm hitting the ball harder with more confidence. I can't believe such a tiny change could make such a difference. The proof - I won the Club comp for the 1st time in my life on Thursday. Can't wait to get out again today. Of all your trainings this, for me, is the winner. Thank you so much.

68 year old trying to fine tune my game. Very high handicap. I plead guilty Danny! I am one of those who takes stance, spreads out palms and places club along the line. I can't wait to get to the range with correct grip. So many thanks to all your videos. I understand you.

Danny, if you are not a top 100 Golf Instructor...you should be and you have my vote. Your instruction is simple and makes sense, your explanations are understandable. I like that you provide the basics where it can be easily understood. Now, the grip was one of my problems, then the next is alignment. I always tend to align my body right and have difficulty where in the stance the ball should be between my feet. Help!!!!

Hi Danny. Thought my grip was ok but my left hand was gripping exactly as you described with the club going though the middle of my palm. I just took your new grip to the driving range and wow! At first it felt like I had no power at all but after a few shots it really clicked and the club head took over. All of a sudden my shots were straighter and no loss of distance. Too early to declare victory but very confident this will improve my game. Thank you for the great content

What a wonderful end to a terrible year of Covid-19, thanks mainly to your lesson on the Grip. I had 41-pts to finish 4th overall out of a field of 115 players and en6ded up winning C-Grade. My partner and I finished 6th overall in the 2BBB with 46-pts the winners had 49-pts and 43-pts in the Single Mens-Nett. My playing group have nick named me "Danny-Jay". I have mobility problems Left-leg Apputee & right-leg Quadrasept reattached. My playing partner "Muzza" was world-champion in the transplant games in France in 2003. He is well known in GB transplant circles and was the Austtralian Flag Bearer. Like me he has circulation problems in his leg and needs a cart to get around, I'm lucky that I can still walk the course. Danny, thanks also to your lesson on bunkers.
