Today we’re going to talk a little more about the golf grip and how to get the hands on the club so that the clubface can stay square.
The golf grip is the only way of you connecting with the golf club, this means its vital for controlling the clubface at impact and throughout the golf swing.
If the grip is TOO strong or weak then controlling the clubface becomes increasingly difficult.

Right Wrist Angle
To deliver the club with the face angle to hit the shot you’re trying to play, the wrists need to work in a way to make that happen. Simply trying to keep them passive or “out of the shot” won’t produce the results you’re hoping for.
In this video, we’re going to look at the right (trailing) wrist angle from the top of the swing to impact.
Correct sequence in the downswing
How do you start your downswing? Is it from your upper body or lower body? Initiating your downswing correctly will help you to improve your impact position and as a result you will become much more consistent, hit straighter golf shots and see an improvement in shot length.
This simple drill will get you starting your downswing with your lower body moving first, shifting your centre of pressure towards the target and allowing you to rotate your pelvis, then your upper body towards the target as you swing through impact. A fantastic drill for anyone struggling to create a great impact position, lag and weight transfer.

Impact position is an enigma for many players. In this Tip of the Week, my goal is to shed some light on how to get that great impact position the pros do with such ease. Impact simply means that you are compressing the ball, striking down behind the ball, which is what gets the ball airborne.
I see too many players do the exact opposite. Instead, of hitting down, they are scooping up on the ball. Scooping the ball does get it airborne, but it sets the ball on a flight that is too high and travels a short distance.
If you want more distance let’s get you compressing now!

Left Arm motion in the golf swing
I get a lot of questions about whether your right “throw’ or left arm are the dominant in the golf swing. The answer is that it depends on where you’re most comfortable. I’ve been on both sides in my career.
As long as you know how your hands work through the golf swing, you can get a gauge on which one has the right feel for your swing.
Being able to clear your hips during your golf swing is a huge plus for hitting pure solid golf shots.
The pros do this extremely well while the rest of us often struggle with this key component of the golf swing.
In this video, we’re going to show you how to clear your hips in the golf swing to pick up more yards in your game.
