    Switched to this grip, more relaxed, less strangle hold on club, better control and shot accuracy. Played 9 to try it out shot a 1 over parr. May be a good day, better grip on club or just plane lucky. I'll go with luck for the time, but am sticking with this tip.

    One of Hogan’s “hidden in plain sight” secrets was always establishing his grip with club hanging in the air in front of him with bent elbows pointing down. If you have read his Five Lessons he first hooked grip with left index finger and pad of left hand then added the right hand with only the second and third (middle two) fingers.
    When grip is established up in the air with bent elbows when the club is lowered the arms straighten and counter-rotate against each other because of way the ulna and radius bones in the forearms work. Again if you have read Five Lessons you will remember the “wring the towel” and “rubber band around arms” illustrations. When lowering the club starting with elbow down bent arms that counter rotation creates that “wring the towel” and “band pulling arms to chest” action AUTOMATICALLY!
    The way it firms up the arm triangle is nothing short of amazing compared to just resting the head of the club on the ground and gripping it. It was also the act of hanging the club IN THE AIR in front of him to serve as a counter-balance which allowed Hogan to sit back, butt over heels (as in the stool illustration in the book) keeping lower leg vertical for good leverage to counter pull of club force at impact without falling over backwards.
    Hogan’s last move after the waggle to rehearse the wrist action at impact was to push his left hand downward with pressure from his slightly bent right arm TO REMOVE THE SLACK FROM THE LEFT ARM. Hogan realized the club force in the takeaway move stretches the left arm about 1/2” or more. But instead of just guessing and setting up with face 1/2” inside the ball he would pull the slack out of his arms by pushing hands toward the ground when aligning the shot and again just before taking the club back in the swing to take the slack out and visualize “at impact” alignment of the face exactly. What I discovered when adopting that action in my pre-shot routine is that the pressing down action of the hands strengthens the orientation of the left hand by pronating the palm more and pushing the wrist into greater extension. As the the left arm tries to rotate clockwise more in response to that downward stretching the grip forces the right hand thumb pad to rotate counter-clockwise increasing pressure on the left thumb. This very subtle and stealthy action is what gave Hogan (and now gives me) very firm control of the club but with very little contraction of the fingers which is the key for allowing the club to whip around the hands during the downswing.
    I discovered and adopted Hogan’s method a dozen years ago and by ball striking improved dramatically. The counter-rotation and counter-torquing of the arms make them feel like tightly twist rope or steel rods because there is no feeling of “give” at impact with ball and turf. 100% of the energy in the club head gets transferred to the ball with none lost because of give in the arms and hands.
    Hogan gripped the club held out horizontal -- in front of him but if you really want to feel and understand the counter rotation cause and effect try gripping it with 90° bent elbows with shaft vertical | then lower it to address \ without changing the position of the hands on the grip. Don’t rest the head on the ground, instead hover it an inch or so over the ground and shift hips laterally < == > parallel to the line your heels are on letting arms hand down as you bend at the hips / - do not bow ( at the waist. The arms and butt of the club will swing in closer to the body (because arm + club is now a cantilever) and the club if allowed to swing freely with no steering input from hands will find perfect balance between mass and gravity.
    If you simply rock the hips an inch or so laterally the combination of the cantilever leverage and the MOI of the mass in the club head will dictate the path the club head swings on. It will automatically be an inside- back to square - inside path. Part of what makes a high MOI club more “forgiving” than a old style blade iron is the way the MOI affects the balanced natural (unaided) swing path. The old pre 1970s blades were so toe heavy they would swing too far inside in the takeaway requiring the golfer to fight with the hands to keep them on a swing radius matching the shoulder and hip turn. Engineer and amateur golfer Karsten Solheim realizes that by moving the mass around in the club head it could be made to AUTOMATICALLY steer itself onto the ideal (gravitational pendulum effect) swing arc. All modern cavity back irons are now designed to do that automatically except 99.99999% of the golfers on the planet don’t understand that cause and effect and how to utilize it to create a more automatically consistently swing.
    I doubt Hogan understood the physics but he intuitively, by trail and error, figured out how it worked and incorporated it brilliantly into his swing in his wide, low, slow takeaway move, letting the club find perfect balance like a pendulum at address and then keeping it that balanced gravity influenced path in the takeaway, which is the key for bringing it back down in balance, the condition that exists when one feels the swing is “in the groove” or like “on rails.” That feeling is a club swinging on its natural, laws of physics dictated path without steering action by the golfer’s hands messing it up. Starting at address with a proper grip is necessary for not messing it up 😀

      @marcohanig176 20 дней назад

      This is excellent! If you rest your club on the ground and lay the club against the palm in the exact right groove painted on the glove, the video is unclear as to what the plane of the palm should be when that contact occurs. Depending on how your arm is rotated, your palm could be anywhere from vertical (back of hand facing the target) to horizontal (back of hand facing ground). I believe the method described in your first two paragraphs removes that ambiguity. I will try your (Hogan's) method this weekend!

    My uncle Charlie taught me to hold the golf club like you're holding a pigeon. You don't want to choke it to death, but you also don't want to let it fly away. It works well for me, especially now when I'm putting (my strength). If I'm missing putts, I check my grip. If I feel like I'm killing a bird, I loosen my grip and my putting usually corrects itself.

    Regards Grip Pressure, Aimee Cho says in her video on the Grip, that most Pro's hold the club with most Pressure in the L/hand with the 'pinky' finger and the Trail hand with the First finger and Thumb, and I was wondering if that's what you do too? Thanks

  • @marcohanig176
    @marcohanig176 20 дней назад

    Please clarify a key point. If the club is resting on the ground and is aimed perfectly square, WHAT SHOULD BE THE ORIENTATION OF THE LEAD PALM AS YOUR PALM MEETS THE CLUB? This reference point is not discussed at all. Depending on how much your arm is twisted, the palm could be anywhere from vertical (i.e. back of hand facing target) to horizontal (back of hand facing the ground) as you lay the club in the correct groove of the palm.
    Looking at 8:44, it appears that your palm is twisted about 10 degrees from vertical as you lay the club into it. Is that what it should be? Without knowing this detail, you can hold the club perfectly between your fingers, yet rotate the arm to open/close the club face or make the grip strong or weak. I hope you understand my question. Thanks!

    @timfrancis7795 Год назад +1

    You say that it should be across the base of your fingers. This is right as taken from the side. People say the fingers and they are right as taken from the bottom of the club. Cradle it in your fingers to cup the base of the grip and then your position is the same way everyone else says as you are looking at where the grip touches the hand at the side. Drawing lines on your glove is great but you need to realise where on the grip this relates to i.e. the side of the grip. The right hand needs to grip the club like you are holding a baby bird. Great Video
