For a golf swing that is CONSISTENT, provides a flat left wrist, compression, lag and more. Steve's EUREKA GOLF SWING is now being implemented in 52 countries taking the golfers game to a place that allows the body to turn, the flight to straighten and compression to become a reality.
The starting place is the "iron swing series" offering the set of the Eureka Golf Swing canes and a step by step tutorial of the full action.
REMEMBER: as Steve says, "There is a difference between opening your stance and aiming left".

Another brilliant video - I really look forward to them as your dry wit and common sense just make them so interesting and useful
Great lesson, Steve. Hogan was a master. This is one of the best videos on the grip I have scene.
Wow, thanks!
Dude I never heard it explained so simply! This helped more than any golf lesson! Thanks for the explanation and what’s comfortable for me and how it works! This allows to swing so naturally it’s crazy! I learned from you in 15 mins than all those other guys out there in 15 years! Thanks Steve! U da man!
I developed a different version of the overlap... I think it may be used by some people when putting but I did it because at the time I had a blister and it stopped the rubbing. So what I do is the index finger of the top hand, overlaps the bottom finger of the bottom hand. It's quite comfortable. Your thoughts?
still waiting for a vid with a kilt
I prefer a slightly weaker left hand grip personally, a strong grip seems to make my early extension worse but the weaker grip helps get my hands to release through impact better and I draw my irons
Nearly 60k subscribers 👍 Very well deserved Steve. Great content delivered with a good sense of humour.
I’m sure 100k will come soon.
I heard that Hogan cupped his wrist at the top and didn't bow it. On the down swing he waisted it from a cupped to a bowed position.
Steve.. I just went out and clocked three 7 irons... Index finger and thumb... WOW.... Eureka.... its a beautiful thing /JB/NC
DJ does not have a weak grip. Otherwise, great video.
Went back to my well worn Hogan book after struggling with a weak fade combined with a strong (ish) grip. This explains how I now hit straight (ish) to a draw with the weaker grip. Cheers!
Great video and a very well explained lesson on the grip.Love the Hogan series very interesting and would loved to have seen Hogan play with today’s equipment, I think he would have cleaned up!
Yes sir! Subscribed! As a former high handicapper who practically instantly became a scratch golfer after reading Hogan's Five Lessons i vehemently believe they are the only instruction any amateur should ever focus on! I've read and watched so much other instruction over the years and nothing cuts to the chase better than he did way back in 1957! It's perfection. And as he said it ALL starts with this grip. That is the whole key to sending the club into motion on its natural orbit while really feeling the clubhead throughout its entire journey. The drill to practice without trail hand index and thumb is brilliant. This light light grip pressure sets the entire motion on its proper course. It naturally produces the smoothest, silkiest motion as the club literally whips through impact. This way the all-important lead hand dominates, supinates, pounds, and freely releases all the energy into the ball. I can practicaly flush the ball all day long with my eyes closed thanks to Hogan's grip and his five lessons.
This grip literally changed my game, I also put it together with the Ben Hogan rotation video you made and I have never hit the ball straighter and more pure.
That was one helluva vid, Steve. Great job of putting together the sensibility of weaker grip and eureka system. Well done.👍
Steve can you show this grip without a glove as it gives a better idea where it sits in the left hand.Thanks
I am a fader who has leaned into it rather than trying to recreate the "perfect" PGA tour flight...aka draw. I play with a neutral grip as the "strong" grip left me feeling out of sync. At times this even causes me to pull my shots left as I have a fast lower body to compensate for less agility in shoulder turn due to a large chest and not being able to get left shoulder under chin. Thanks Steve! You validate my unconventional swing....and with Ramm winning, and Spieth's "chicken wing" I am finally learning to make my own swing that works for me!
Wow - that’s an interesting concept! Do you think this grip evolved because he had the “draw/hook” issue in his career? I think I might end up with a closed clubface at address …. But trying to fave the ball could be a dream come true! Might just stick with Eureka!!!
Hey Steve - do you think that adopting the Hogan grip - with a stronger grip and with less pressure with RH fingers you could really have a lash at the ball without sending it way left?
Once you interlock, aren’t you lifting and moving/the first finger/main grip from the left hand on the golf club? I definitely want to be able to interlock (not overlap), but figured I would be compromising the grip since we seem to lock that finger tight at the beginning. Great tutorial thanks a lot.
Tiger interlocks, Jack Nicklaus overlaps🤷♂️
Yeah I read the chapter again and the pressure points are really the other 3 fingers, so I probably shouldn’t have been nervous about interlock. ESP if tiger does it. Thanks again will refer back to your video.
I've been trying to adjust my grip for months now according to recommendations from friends and videos. This video simplified everything I should have been doing all along! Thanks you so much for simply explaining and answering so many of my questions.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks👍👍👍
You can get a beautiful draw with this grip and eliminate slice
Yes 🙌🏻
May I ask how come your left leg position is behind & right leg is forward both are parallel. I understand for senior player the right is 1/2 step backward.
I adopt the Eureka Golf Swing. Here’s a link www.eurekagolfswing.com
Steve Johnston PGA thank you!🙏🏻🥰
The only thing that’s improved my game has been your tips and some old Greg Norman videos now on RUclips. Norman’s ‘mesh grip’ really helped me.
The Shark! 🦈
Love how you explain how the grip and pressure points affect body mechanics and swing plane. That's what I'm trying to learn. Great vid
Hogan was one of a kind.
Steve, I've been overhauling my 40 years old crap rubbish casting swing into the best I can do hogan style. As you have, Ted Hunt did a brilliant job decoding Hogan's intents in two books, "The Magical Devise" and "Short Game Simplified". There is a drawing on the top right of page 5 in "Five Lessons" that looks like the thumb is square on top of the shaft/grip versus slightly to the right.
My only question, I deciphered that the right thumb is actually on top of the club vs slightly on the right side of the grip, pointed at the ball based on Hogan's drawings and Hunt's description, as Hogan doesn't really cover the thumb in enough detail. Also, apparently, Hogan initially placed the left thumb "long" or relaxed on the shaft and evolved to the left thumb being drawn up "short" against the right palm vs under the right palm, UNLESS he wanted to hit a cut.
What are your thoughts?
Love this video Steve - have struggled with a sub-optimal grip for too long, this feels good and is giving me more confidence (like I have a ‘north star’ that I can trust)
Great stuff! 👍🏼
Very good demonstration with excellent closeups! But...Hogan was a perfectionist and his swing was precision! Most of the golf swings I see on the golf course today - it almost doesn't matter how they hold the club - they are awful! *Bottom line: You've got to put a good swing on it!*
Your Ben Hogan series of videos is amazing! I have struggled with an inconsistent swing for years. I watched your Ben Hogan series and practiced the techniques in your videos and I my swing has made remarkable improvements. Thanks for making the series and I look forward to viewing more of your videos.
This is a piece of junk to me. I took 23 practice shots and it started coming off the club no matter what. I got no stretches with it. I know I’ve got like it but I wanna see if it works. Did not work. I don’t know what to return policy is I would like to I would like to chat with you, because I think we need people you’re supposed to be able to trust you should be able to trust. Thank you Mr. Berry God bless.
벤호건의 그립은 왼손 한손만 보고는 모릅니다. 왼손 검지는 큰 의미 없어요. 저 그림은 그립끝을 잘 걸치라는 의미이지 왼손 검지로 클럽을 쥐라는 얘기가 아닙니다.
Today I used Ben Hogan short and low back swing the ball came out like a rocket it was like magic just after 31 years
Hogan cupped his wrist at the top of the backswing and then bowed it during the downswing and through impact. D. Johnson has it bowed at the top of the backswing and leaves it bowed during the downswing. Lots of rotation. Doubt a lot of normal golfers can duplicate their moves.
thats NOT how Hogan set his grip when addressing the ball...see MANY vids of what he actually did during set up
Showing the bowing and cupping at the top of your backswing was completely new to me. Your explanations are so in depth and helpful. Thank you sir.
Another Hogan’s video showing, middle, ring and small fingers are gripping for left hand.
Because Hogan was such a great precision athlete akin to gymnastics & down hill skiing, this the only thing all golfers can take from his game.
His grip is correct if you're trying to hit a fade but you need to have a stronger left hand grip on it for the average golfer otherwise you're going to struggle to close the clubface. A really weak left-handed grip like that is designed for someone that can move that club and amateurs can't.
I could not believe this! I have Hogan's book and I was reading the chapter on grip this morning! Now, you have posted a video on the same thing. This has made it so much easier to understand Hogan's written text. You made everything very clear! Thanks a lot.
That is so interesting as you have lots of views having the pressure in the index of the right. I think Ben was right as it will help keep the right hand from rolling the face. His wrist was so very bent back that the index finger would be a death move for him.
Can't wait to try it out. Feels so much more comfortable than a strong interlocking grip and I can twist the face closed and less open about the same. Guess it depends on one's orthopedic situation.
DJ as a very strong grip. If you look for weak grips see to Jordan Spieth or Rod Pampling.
I’ve recently took this onto the course and i’ve never struck the ball better… From drives to chipping, seem to be able to compress the ball better too
DJ and Rahm have a bowed wrist at top. Hogan had a cupped wrist.
Wee side note comment. Rocket Ronnie the snooker player grips his cue right hand the same. In snooker is called a trigger grip ie your pointing 👉 finger is open like firing a gun!!
The weak grip was because Hogan was trying to eliminate any chance of going left!
Looks like a much more and connected swing Steve? What was the main feeling ya had please ?
Hogan was a notorious hooker of the ball. It took him years to figure out how to compensate for it.
His weaker grip is one of the ways he combatted hooking the ball.
What was the video were you from the top pinched the club with the 2 middle fingers of the right hand
This grip was created so Hogan could eliminate the left side of the golf course. This allowed him to swing as hard as he wanted with little to no chance of hooking.
Great video as usual, cheers Steve
Didn't Hogan have an issue with a hook, & that would be the reason for the weaker left hand grip?
I'm pretty sure BH said he wished he had 3 right hands (correct me if wrong).His right hand controlled what would be a hook left hand weak or not. imo.
I love the hogan series,especially the grip as it is almost identical to mines,I don't try to bow my left wrist but it happens almost automatically as long as I can feel the butt end of the grip tight on the heel pad on downswing,it really is genius
Excellent instruction!
Great video. Bought his book about a month ago and your videos really compliment it 👍
he also knew that the right thumb and index finger were the key to controlling the club face. he would hold a broken tee in that union and have just enough pressure as to not let that tee come out.
For such a tall guy, he can replicate hogan's swing and drills very well
Hogan had a weak lead hand grip because he was always fighting a hook.
Excellent Steve. Just bought the Hogan book myself 👍🏼
? thought hogan interlocked, not overlapped??
Thanks for the video on Hogans grip...I was taught this grip many years ago and lost it over thr years....I will give it a try at the range soon.
Glad to help
I always thought Dustin had the strongest grip in golf
This is the most detailed instruction/demonstration of the Ben Hogan's grip...very fitting for my Ben Hogan's golf swing. Now my golf swing fundamentals complete! Thank you very much Steve....Cheers!!!
Thanks Paterno 👏🏻👍
You deserve the award, hope you get it soon - thanks for ALL your videos and tips!
I have a habit of slicing shots, will this grip make it worse?
This is top stuff Steve great explanation of the basics!
Didn't this guy play Dougal in Outlander?
Could also be named bringing the hook to life.
You taught me something thought I was doing it right I was all wrong thanks Steve you are the man
I read his miss was to the left , maybe why his grip was weak ?
Steve great video , one question do you have your elbows bent at the set up
Started reading the book today very good and well explained
Thank you very clear instruction.
Does the stance need to be a little open? Line tool on ground open?
Another great video on Ben Hogan's 5 Lessons
Wish I could be like Hogan
Good job explaining the hogan grip
Is Lloyd your boyfriend? 😃
I have watched so many other people “analyze” this grip and it NEVER made sense. Finally!!!! Somebody who took the time and delve into the minutia, even hitting some kinesiology points. I took some time off and played 2x in the last 2 weeks. Once was with a former colleague who I haven’t seen in ages. I played disastrously both times.and I have been beating myself up over not putting in the practice. Today I watched this video multiple times and my swing felt like it used to when I would crush the ball. Only this time I didn’t beat the ball like it owed me $$$$$$. Thank you!
As a teen I consulted that book like the Bible. I went over that grip over and over and practiced until my callouses were exactly like his in the drawings. It's what got me breaking 80, and supination got me to scratch.
I saw a slo mo swing analysis of Tommy Fleetwood last week - he actually lifts his right thumb off the shaft on the backswing. I’m led to believe Mr Fleetwood is a half decent ball striker (!) so you may be on to something here, Steve…😉. Many thanks for another brilliant ‘grip’ video, they’ve got me going right back to basics. 🙏
This was so helpful, thanks for posting this. I´ve been fascinated with Hogans swing for a while, he himself said he starts the swing with the lower body, shifting the weight to the lead leg and firing the hips, letting the club follow like a whip... i´ve noticed other pros on YT starting to talk about this recently and thought, hang on, I´m sure Ben Hogan did this so came back to studies of his swing and sure enough, there it is. Then I noticed that Hogans grip looked odd, compared to the stronger grip I´ve learned (I tend to draw or hook the ball, but it can turn into a slice if I get too quick with the hips, even with a strong grip, but hit it cleaner with what feels like a weaker grip)
I guess it´s time to unlearn what I´ve been doing wrong and go buy hogans book, then I might finally break 80!
I wouldn't say that your grip looks weak using the Hogan grip. To me it looks neutral. I suspect it just looks weak compared to your own grip. I also would not say that DJ has a weak grip as to me it looks strong to very strong. The weak grips I see include Rahm (as you said), Dechambeau and Spieth. I also understand that swing plane (steepness v shallowness/flatness) impacts the face as much as grip does. Hogan had long arms compared to his body and swung the club relatively flat. I believe this was one of the reasons he needed to weaken his grip to counteract a hook.
Your pad needs to be more on top
I learned to become a champion golfer by reading and following Ben Hogan's teachings of Power Golf !!!!!!!! Illustrations of Ben Hogan's swing and even putting stroke in Power Golf was the absolute best teaching method in the world of golf. Every beginning golfer should follow Ben Hogan's style of playing golf.
Great vid Steve! I have been trying to get rid of my cupped left wrist at the top while using a strong grip with mixed results. Went to the weak Hogan style grip ...Bingo.
I’ve noticed in my videos I come over the top a lot. I was trying this and the swing for last hour and it just feels very natural. I’m not trying to force anything. Thank you for a great explanation.
You're right. It feels weird. Everything you change in your grip and swing feels weird at first.
This appears to work really well though.
Thanks Steve. You too, Ben...
Confused why you keep saying DJ has a weak grip. Yes he bows the wrist at the top of the backswing, but DJ has a stronger grip.
My grip was learnt from Hogans book But remember hogan was left handed playing right so you will have to do a lot of left side strengthening and coordination. I ve had to become almost ambidextrous! to get the most out of this weak left hand grip tho i have managed to get my left thumb to the right of the shaft and almost matching it with the my heel pad. Hogan bangs on about pressure in his right index knuckle and this is the key to using your right side in the golf swing,sustaining pressure on the grip,which is what the drill of swinging with right thumb off grip teaches you.
Hi Steve, you have a new fan. Englishman in Texas and I tried this today. Felt weird at first but results were instant. Very weird on my driver as I normally have a big fade. Straightened it out by opening my stance! It worked straight away! Very weird but very effective. Thanks for your easy to follow and simple tips.
Great video and one of the few I've ran across relating the connection of body movement with different grips
Great grip demo!
All your videos are, by far, the best ANYWHERE! Keep up the amazing work, and thank you.
Excellent review of Mr. Hogan’s grip and body rotation to square up the club face!
What a difference. I’ve struggled with a big fade and slice. I’ve played 72 holes since watching this video and changing my grip. The results …. I missed only 4 fairways and added around 20 yards to my drives. Thank you Steve.
Your videos have helped in the past and this came along at just the right time. My grip has been getting stronger and stronger with duck hooks and pulls showing up too often with the driver . One video and a bucket of balls later I’m back. Sincere thanks. Can you do one now on getting a 62 year old past 200 yards with a driver ?
Interesting point about the middle two fingers on the right hand being a power source as I am somebody who tends to involve the thumb and index finger too much. Definitely food for thought.
Steve, thought I would drop by to say hello as I’ve been following your content for some time now. I like your presentation style and find your content top drawer. I’m 60 years old and play about six times per week, your little experiments with the game have been quite helpful to me. I’m currently playing with an 8 handicap but would like to shave one stroke off of that this year.
I've been binge watching your vids and finally took the "knowledge" to the range tonight. It. Was. AWESOME!!! Thank you for giving me hope to play decent again someday soon! I'm playing 9 holes tomorrow!
