This is insane!!! We, the fans, much appreciate it gentlemen (and gentle ladies).

    I want to thank the both of you. I tried this grip today and it all suddenly made sense. I was able to keep my hands quiet and it improved my ball contact and flight tremendously.

    Cant emphasize enough how great of a golf lesson that was. Such a classic, simple and effective way of tuning up the golf swing. Strong grip, good little shaft lean at address and let it fly.

    Erik, Rick - I've been struggling with random "shanks" lately and weak shots to the right (but not all the time......so frustrating!!!!) tried fixing it with "bowing my left wrist" - but that hasn't been repeatable for me. This quick lesson to strengthen the grip is so simple, but I forgot about it and didn't realize how weak my grip had become. Instantly fixed my weak shots off to the right and was hitting again with solid contact. thank you guys! awesome video!

    I was having same issues with my strikes. I went to the range and checked my grip (it was very weak)…. Added about 10% distance to each of my clubs and now, as long as I shift my body towards target during swing, I hit nice little draws down the middle. If I leave the lower body behind I block it 10-15 Degrees short right.
