I can testify. Been playing plantation at kapalua all week and I’ve lost so much distance it’s kicking my butt. Did a little tweaking on the range this morning with these tips and had no problem reaching the bottom of 17 fairway from the tee today. Easy 7 iron in from there for an easy par. Up until today, I’ve been having to play around hazard. Huge improvement all day long. Thanks Shawn!
OK,,,, I have been playing golf for almost 40yrs using the same grip.
I have never been any better than a 19 handicap but was happy with it.
Last night I watched this video and went out today taking all I saw in this video..
I shot a 7 over on a course I have never played...... 😊
"Don't hurt yourself" Priceless! With Sav's strong grip with both hands, how does she not hook the ball?
The student has become the master!! Well done Sav. And Shawn, great to see you still learning after all these years of teaching!
EVERY DAY!! This game is phenomenal for that! Thank you for the great comment👍😀🫶💪
Missed this one... so happy I circled back... Nice to see the "Old Man" show off like on of the kids. Good stuff!
Sav is still pound for pound swing queen. Great video as always
I love what she has been able to accomplish! She is #9 in the world of Long Drive right now and getting invites to some televised events; so we are looking for some sponsors who would exchange funds for airtime on ESPN!!
I’ve always thought there was something to the weak arm leading the swing, and with that strong grip I’m definitely going to work on that. Thanks to Shawn and Sav, best of luck to you Sav in your next long drive competition.
Love it as always 👏👏
That’s cool visual. Thanks
The 2 of your are amazing. TY for this awesome teaching video!!!!
Thank you Duke! 👍😀🫶
I'm so happy that you guys support each other. Its fun to see. Great tip I'll use the hammer style tomorrow morning during our simulator matches.
Yeah man! 👍👌🫶😀
Hi Shawn, I had a ZOOM lesson from you a few years ago. Anyway, I have been slumping for a couple of years (index soared from 4 to 8) trying to get rid of my Early Extension coupled with a short backswing. I watched a couple of your videos and I am happy to say I am back on track. I became the guy you mimic with the motionless legs in cement and totally blocked my hip turn going back. WOW!!! I'm getting my butt to the target and the ball is soaring long and straight again! I just played a round at La Costa (down the street from me and soon to host the NCAA Mens Golf Championship in June), and hitting accurate irons and longer drives with an EFFORTLESS swing. The giant hip turn feels totally out of control but the results are lovely.THANKS, BRO!!! I am going to resubscribe after a long absence and try to get my brother on board as well. Keep up that cheerful attitude and great teachings, Ned
Right on Ned! So happy you are back and really enjoying your golf experience! Also very happy that you feel the need to share with the people close to you; that is the ultimate vote of confidence and I appreciate that hugely. All the best and keep us posted!🫶💪👍😀
Your analogy of hitting with a hammer and using a strong grip makes good sense to me. In fact, when I stand with my arms hanging, the back of my hand naturally faces out about 45 degrees. Where I am confused is that your older grip videos seem to have the lead thumb at the 12:30 - 1:00 o'clock position on the club and, in your more recent videos, like this one, it seems like it would need to be at the 2:00 - 3:00 o'clock position to be as strong as you are indicating. Please clarify.
They are both fine! Depends on the individual and the quality of the release!
I do love that you walk your talk.
Freakin’ right! Very proud of that too! Love my swing and my ability to score! 😀👍
Shawn, watch a few Bobby Jones videos. He said he got in trouble when his right hand became active in his swing. So you just revisited the secret of the great master.
Fantastic! Thank you for that great comment! 😀👍👊🫶
One of the most important things this grip does for me is confidence. When I place my hands on the grip like this I feel like I'm goign to hit a solid shot every time. The biggest improvement I saw with this grip was in chipping. The amount of shots that are hit chunky or thin are reduce so much with this grip. I feel like I can clip it perfect every time of a tight lie. What is very interesting about this grip as I don't miss any shots left. I like to get in a door frame with a rubber mallet and make swings with it driving an imaginary nail into the door frame. Then I have a club right next to me and I switch back and forth between the mallet and the club. All the time I'm trying to match the angle of my hands on the mallet with what it looks like when I grip the club. At first it looks like my grip is way too strong but when I hit balls the contact is great. I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to have a grip too strong.
You are now experiencing what my daughter has been enjoying for years! 👍😀👌💪👊
183 with blade 7 iron. That is amazing❗😮 Cant wait to see that series on premium channel 👍😀
It will be amazing; a full training step by step series to build the pendulum into the swing; we do 99% of that already but this will be hyperawareness! See “kettle bell against the door frame” as an appetizer!
Hey Shawn, when you demonstrate the hammer motion, your forearm bones align, creating natural ulnar deviation as you move the hammer away as you show. I think you need to emphasize this feeling more in the golf swing, where the momentum of the arm-club unit is more gradual, rather than forcing it or creating a more artificial wrist cocking action. So I would like to know your view on the wrist movement to begin the swing with the strong lead grip, similar to Sav’s smooth execution as she starts her takeaway. She’s so powerful, yet makes it look so easy :) Make sense??
Yes, the ultimate is to deliver deeply through the ball like Juaco Niemann! There is some face on slow motion action of his swing from his win today that is just spectacular!
Great stuff! I want some of these extra yards 😛
I am over the moon right now!
Prob the best advice I've ever used in golf, I went from 155 ball speed to touching 170mph ball speed with my driver with less effort, chop the wood baby.... 👍
Nice! That is big juice there!
Been watching you for years,I'm sure you've shown the hammer style grip before,used it last year and gained at least 20 yards on wedges to 5 and hybrid, not so much with 3 wood and driver but shots are more consistent.
Right on Leon! Something you are not transitioning to with the longer clubs with less distance gains, and that means you are not stretching out the set up to accommodate the longer shafts! On our premium channel, we have a sweet series called “the throwing series” and the wedges are short stop throws vs driver which is “hammer throw”
Hey Shawn. I just sent you an email about Charlie Hoffman & his recent great play at the WM. It's all about the grip!
Mick
Yes sir! Thank you for sending that! That is what I heard also on the telecast! ABOUT TIME!!😝😀👍💪
The confusing part for me is translating the hammer to the club. If you hammer a nail with the head then you can do it straight up and down or side ways into the wall and the grip stays the same. However, if you take a club and act like you are hammering straight up and down the hozzle hits first as it should. The translation part is that if you hammer sideways into tha ball on the ground you would still hit it with the hozzel??? If you get what I am saying.
Sav -"you should be a club longer"
Shawn = "well...ok"
He looked like a kid who had his candy stolen :)
😝😀
I find my left elbow feels like it hyper extends and resists the release of the left wrist turning over if my left hand is too strong. I will keep trying to see how the release can turn over after impact with a stronger left hand grip. Thanks Shawn and Sav!
To experience the release at its fullest; you need to get with the premium channel at wisdom in golf premium.com and see all the “release” videos including the cherry on the sundae called “important release update” which none of my students failed yet!
Hey Shawn, I have switched to this grip recently and find that it just feels right… however, I can’t seem to open the face enough to hit fades any more. Could you help me if I’ve gotten used to hitting draws and now can’t “see” how to hit the fades? It feels like my grip, stance, ball position, and use of momentum are all jacked up and uncomfortable over the ball for the fade. Do any of your students experience this problem? And best suggestions on how to fix? Much love!
Make sure you see “how to match backswing to ball direction” on premium!
I follow your videos because I use a strong grip because it’s what feels most natural and controlling of the club and you see to be the only one teaching a strong grip. I’m somewhat inconsistent but I carry my 8i about 180yards. I have trouble hitting my long irons in the air (5i and 6i). Any suggestions on what the issue may be? Thanks
Choose your height! See “best lesson I ever got from Moe Norman Shawn Clement” and thank you for the great comment and kind words! 150 of the 200 best players in the world have a strong grip! You are going to see some terrific videos coming out soon on our premium channel that explain more reasons why strong grip is so good! See “important grip update”, the “goldilocks series” and all the “release” videos to set things up and then the “target confirmation series” and “stick your finish despite the ball” series to funnel everything into your targets!
Is your stance a little closed? I’m going to try this grip, because I’m left handed playing from the right side.
Just like my lefty swing! I cannot function without a stronger grip and a full turn with the lead heel in the air from that side! But the payoff in high speed with low effort is awesome!!
Shawn so with this super strong grip are you consciously trying to hit the ball with your lead hand versus using your right dominant hand?
Hey Steve! Never use body part focus when doing anything physical; when skipping stones, you focus on the stone skipping a certain way and you let it go; in golf, the sole of the club is like the stone, and you let momentum skip along the ground into the direction you want to start the ball; we have a whole series on tasks to use on our premium channel; the stone skip is just one of many; we have cutting stems, sending divots, peeling carrots or planing wood, compressing balls through doorframes etc…one of these will resonate with you and when you get good at the task, which is very simple, you get good at golf! Wisdom in Golf Premium.com enjoy!
Shawn. At the start of the video you talk about how prior to the strong grip you ‘pushed the chain’ with your right, dominant hand which would lead me to believe that with the strong grip you are more focused on releasing the club with your left hand. Is that not the case?
@@stevebutel9088 when the kinetic chain engages, IT FEELS like the arm-club unit gets pulled through from the ground up; as a dominant right handed person who finally became aware of how I pushed with the right; I clamp down harder with the left but wait for the kinetic chain to do it’s work; a good video is “throw the club straight shawn clément” on youtube.
Would throwing the club with the lead hand be a good drill to use to get the feel of where your grip should be to strike the ball?
Yes! Actually it would be the best way to learn how to hit a good backhand in tennis! I did quite a bit of this for my left handed golf swing!
Thanks! Looking forward to the series on the premium channel.@@golflessons
Do this with the driver too? Thank you
Big Time! Wait till you see next week’s video! Subscribe!
Hey Shawn, I’ve noticed that as I begin to throw the club into my backswing, I hinge my wrists almost immediately as the backswing starts, lifting the club head slightly above the ball at address. However, my contact has never been better. If I try to fight this off, my shot is very inconsistent. I’m assuming that this is just my brain reacting to the task at hand. Is this something that I should try to eliminate, or just go with? Thank you!
Definitely go with it! See my “jackknife drill shawn clement” video!
Hi Shawn, If I don't keep my lead wrist flat at the top like Sav I lose all kinds of power. However I notice you have your wrist extended at the top. Should I just work on keeping my lead wrist flat at takeaway and not worry about it?
Everyone is different in that respect; what matters is that when you deliver your action in the direction you want to start the ball, that the ball goes there without much fuss!
@@golflessonsThanks Shawn...just watched OTT Impossible video again and the dart throwing outcome...I won't focus on a single part of the swing...just get back to tossing my axe, chopping wood, the blur, and the intermediate point. Thanks again. Your instruction is the best...by far.
Not sure if you've touched on this, but do you have any issue with a 10 finger grip (even if I'm someone built pretty large similar to Mu)? I'm a former baseball player so it feels super natural to me, but I know most common golf instruction always suggests against this.
I also would like your comments on baseball or 10 finger grip which I must use with a fused Right thumb and Lt wrist . I hit from the Lt side and use Sav/Mu's super strong grip but move fused thumb around grip to avoid thumb ext. which is not possible.
@@joemc8488 This is exactly how Francis Ouimet used to grip the club! Absolutely terrific and I have 2 of my winter students that use that very same grip who have arthritis in their thumbs; this way they get a nice wrist hinge and full dose of momentum through the ball!
My wife suffers from the same arthritis issues. Have you done a video about that?
@@robertanklam7531 I guess we are going to have to huh!?😀👍
When can we expect to see this on premium?
The very next series! So the first episode will be in 2 weeks! 👌😀👍
I don't see anyone on pga tour using that strong a grip tho?
RYAN MOORE, FRED COUPLES,PAUL AZINGER,WEBB SIMPSON,PATRICK CANTLAY, BUBBA WATSON, Sergio Garcia, Zack Johnson, Brant Snedeker, Shane lowery, Gary woodland, Matt Kuchar, Keegan Bradley, Kyle Stanley, Martin Laird, Paul Casey, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Terrell Hatton, Mark Leishman, Bernhard Langer, Joaquin Niemann, Ryan Palmer, Mike Weir, Jason Kokrack, Rory Sabatini, Lanto Griffin, Brendan Todd, Kevin Kisner, Danny Willett , Jason Day, Stewart Cink, hall of fame Judy Rankin, Kevin Streelman (very strong and fader) Thomas Pieters (solid strong) Kevin McCarthy (very strong) Brendan Steel-(super strong and best driver of the ball!) Todd Sinnott, Denwit Boriboonsub, and the list goes on and on!
How strong was your grip while playing fade with the Driver
Massive strong! Like Ryan Moore, Paul Azinger, Fred Couples, Wen Simpson, Ryan Fox!
So would you say your lead hand is "very strong" and your trail hand is just "strong"?
Yes, that would be a good description; Ryan Moore does the same and he hits it so straight!
@golflessons perfect. I'm a subscriber on the premium channel, but love that you post videos like this on RUclips. Makes a lot of things click. Another question. Sometimes I drive the ball 275 carry. Other times I'm hitting a low hook. Which premium videos would you recommend I watch?
@@nickgilbert522 did you see the “long and straight driver series”? Also see “kinetic chain facilitation series tee tips driver” video!
@@golflessons beautiful. Thank you. I'll check them out
Sav hits massive hooks on the day she’s not timing it
Nope! She hits more power fades!
Zalatoris swing looks like he uses his lower body much more now.
He needs it! 😀👍
Isn't the spin way to low though ? 4500 ish
Depends on the ball being used…
But, 4500 spin is distance manipulation ? ball go further with less spin, but bounces off back of firm green ?@@golflessons
@@nateroscoe8012 you are just overthinking this one; our numbers from video to video from outside to inside are VERY consistent; golf is FAR from being an exact science.
Thanks for your reply, enjoy your channel and isn't that life, over thinking everything ? lol@@golflessons
