Excellent job Alex in explaining how to attain a proper grip! I am always working on the cocking and uncocking of my wrists to keep them attuned to their role in the golf swing. I didn't know about your "hammer demonstration" and the neutral grip to show weakness! Well Done Alex!!! I learned something new today!

It's funny, you always address the questions my friends and I discuss during our weekly round. Great content!!! Thank you.

My grip has changed because of you 😂 thank you coach. Double overlap video change everything for me. Thanks a lot

Luv the video! Great advice.

I would love to see how shaft angle/lean relates to clubhead direction, and how to prevent the angle from pushing shots and slicing.

Great little check right here, thanks for the upload mate. Wonder if this will work for cackhanded players

Great video. I had a lesson last week and was struggling with balls going left and right. My coach shifted my grip from strong to neutral and it made a huge difference in my ball striking. Feels odd but I’m keeping at it. I think this drill will help with reminding me on the tee. 👍🏻🏌️‍♀️

Grip is an interesting part of the swing for sure. I notice a lot of pros set up to the ball with their right hand on the club and then they sort of slide the left hand into place. Wondering if that is a benefit to alignment of the club??

Thanks for this vid, I would like to see how you load (or stress) the shaft and then how and when to have it unload or release (for a driver)

I watched a lot of golf this weekend (the PGA, LPGA) and I noticed a lot of players grip the club from UNDERNEATH with their right hand (in the fingers) 😳 … the then curl their hand on top of the club. Now, another issue … I watched a Malaska video and he talked about the “levers” of the hands and arms (not so much body) in the downswing. So today, I tried SLINGING the club … tried to allow my hands to win the race to the ball before your right shoulder. I thought it would feel weak, but I hit some powerful shots. Really have to focus on slowing the right shoulder down until AFTER impact. Your thoughts? 🤔 I had a tendency to try to restrict my hands & wrists in an effort to square the face. But I find I need to “let it go”, and SLING it ☝🏻

This is the slingshot effect and is a requirement for distance so great job! Good luck describing this to your mates. I did a demonstration where I was showing my mates that I could easily pull 150 yards out of my pitching wedge and send it right down the middle using this slingshot effect with only a half swing.

My mates still couldn't recreate it now matter how slowly I showed them. Some things I guess just require the light bulb moment

Would love to see a video on how to stop casting/early extension.

Like your take on the True Swing by Ernest Jones and maybe you can do his towel drill. Thanks.

As a former PGA Class A Teaching Professional I can tell you that probably 90% of golfers have a grip that's too weak and too much in the palm! If you make a mistake with your grip, make it too much in the fingers and on the strong side!! Thank me later!

I have seen a lot of bad golfer's with a poor grip, Neve seen a good golfer with a bad grip, by the way has anyone tried a left hand fore finger as your Vardon grip ,, like a lot of people use as there putting grip ?? I tried it lately and shot level par in killens Killarney 😀

Thanks Alex, having nightmare with putter just now. Hit 16/18 greens but 40 putts. If been lake next to 18th green would have needed to get new putter😩

i will try and show some putting drills now the weather has improved

I will test next time as my drive is all over the place - if i aim left (feet and shoulders) then it goes left and if i aim down the middle the drive goes way rights - Ive always had a natural fade but find it's speed swing - confused most of the time

Thanks Alex, I needed that & I’ll be trying it out tonight. I think I have a strong grip but still hitting it with fade, what do you think I need to change here? Driver settings are neutral with upward lie angle. Thanks

@AlexElliottGolf

Ай бұрын

more of a neautral grip i would say

Thanks Alex, this is brilliant stuff! Similar to marcg1964’s comment I think….for a Driver the shaft is more or less perpendicular to the body, but for irons there is more shaft lean involved in the set up. So….is the leading hand neutral grip to be applied with the club grip at the angle of the shaft lean….or is the neutral grip taken with the iron perpendicular, and then the shaft lean applied? (Hard to explain!…but might be rather crucial as taking the grip when the lean is already established is surely more likely to present the face optimally to the ball at impact?). Grateful for any advice or video on this. Thanks

i broke my 9 iron..had to grab my old MP-33 9 iron from the set in the cellar. They were THE most beautiful clubs of thier day. My swing doesn't allow me to play them anymore.

Anyone else notice that Alex's weak slicey shot was still better than 95% of our drives. FeelsBadMan 😢

Sir Alex Elliot, Nobel prize winning nominee and science laureate! Add that to your credentials 🤘

I have tried many times to correct my way-too-strong grip, but I feel like I lose power and distance

Hi Alex, are you planning on replacing one of the Hemsworth brothers? Nice tip, thank you.

Great video I have a question when you are hinging the club up and down with the neutral grip do you find that the heel pad rubs against the grip and there is a certain amount of wear in that heel area of your glove - or am I doing it wrong?

Quick question, I had my clubs fitting and purchased at my local club. When they returned it took a couple of rounds before I thought I need a lesson as the were a bit offset compared to my old clubs, the pro immediately focused on my grip changing it to a more neutral position so now the fitting of new clubs are nothing like they should be. So my question is should the fitting process incorporated a look at my grip before a full fitting as my clubs need to be returned to ping for re adjusting?

Hi alex, ive been struggling with a strong grip for a couple of weeks now but im going to try the hammer, i like to hit a drawer so would it still be 2 and a half knuckles? Thanks

@AlexElliottGolf

Ай бұрын

yeah i would certainly try

My son has this grip…..one drive he hits it 295+ down the fairway……the next three drives he snap hooks it. I have shown him videos like this showing him why he snap hooks it. He tries to change his grip but hits a few shots, doesn’t like the feel and immediately goes back. Changing the grip is such a huge feel issue that it takes a lot of practice to develop a new feel. My son has so many interest other than golf that he is not interested in putting in the time to practice. Too bad, that change could knock off 6-7 strokes a round

Alex, how can you tell how much grip pressure you need to hold the club. I notice when I have a light grip, it releases easier. Do you have a video on this?

I don't get the gist of this hammer force up and down...I want to drive the ball out and up. Please show how to increase force along the swing path to drive the ball away from me and towards the target....

How do I make sure I am set up to the ball every time with the correct distance from the ball and where is my shaft to be at address from pitching wedge to the driver
