Good work Matt. The Split Grip drill was one of the first drills from Malaska that taught me “tip it and ride it”

And the Malaska move was born 😂 it’s a too drill that most golfers should practice 👍

And also it really helped keep the club in from of me

💯 correct you can’t let the club drop behind you and get the club back behind the ball 👍

Matt, great instruction. Curious, with your left hand, does your thumb rest on the right side of the grip or down the middle? The hinge on the way through feels a little tight based on how my left hand sits on the grip. Thanks!

Hi ya My left thumbs sits slightly to the right hand side I like to see a stronger grip with the left. Test yours take a stance and just let your left arm hand down in front of you. That’s your natural position then place the club in the base of the fingers. You probably will see 3-4 knuckles. This is how your joints align and they will return to that position at impact when momentum pulls on the left arm. I’ve done a video on this a couple of weeks ago. I hope that helps. 👍

Could I take this on the course and play using this grip with a much less exaggerated version of this drill (i.e. hands 1-2” apart or so)?

You could but It would be hard to stabilise I would suggest the baseball style of grip instead as a happy medium. 👍

You mention hands in and clubhead out. Could you go into more detail? Also the direction of the release. You mentioned the clubhead works up but does it work up on a matching plane of the downswing?

Definitely 👍 I’ll create some videos on those subjects.
