I wanted to give them a try for a few reasons, including the fact that DeChambeau uses them and we share similar swing philosophies. Since then, I haven't looked back. I personally love the feel as well as how they help to keep my hands quiet through the zone. Beyond that - and as they relate to grip pressure - the Jumbos are large enough that my fingertips don't wrap all the way around and press into my hands, which is a definite trigger of forearm tension for me in smaller grips. Having properly-sized grips that feel comfortable and secure is critically important as they are our only connection to the object that is going to deliver us blissful joy or deep anguish, yet it is perhaps also the most overlooked equipment fitting component in golf.

Thanks! How to initiate the downswing is a loaded question because it is so dependent on individual tendencies that I cannot give a generalized answer. If I tell you that it's a lateral hip slide but your downswing already naturally has sufficient forward force, then you'll hit pushes and/or hooks all day long, and if I tell you to rotate your hips but you are already naturally applying enough outward force, then your destination is pull/slice city! I could also say the shoulders, or dropping the hands, or getting the lead arm off the chest, or rolling your trail foot targetward, or increasing pressure into the lead leg, etc. Whew! You get what I'm saying, right?.... This is why I do my best to convey multiple “feels” or thoughts throughout the swing wherever possible. We're all different physiologically and psychologically, and something that resonates effectively with one golfer may not necessarily work for another. However, no matter the variety of suggested feels/thoughts offered for a particular element of the swing, they are all directed at getting different golfers to achieve the desired positions, motions, and results. This is why I routinely recommend the online school - saguto.golf - to anyone who truly wishes to experience the joys of consistent, powerful, body-friendly ball striking bliss. The sequential lessons and drills provide the guidelines and set the boundaries, while allowing ample leeway for each individual golfer to infuse and exercise their own uniqueness.

I really liked this video Tom! I have been concentrating on the arc in my swing lately rather than arbitrarily getting up, without thinking, and swinging. One thing about your videos Tom, they do put "thought" back into the game of golf. Good Job!
Thanks John - I'm glad you enjoyed it!! "Thought" is good, provided you are eventually able to transform it into "feel". The goal is to drastically reduce mechanical thoughts so we can get out there and enjoy playing golf rather than suffering through a round of "golf swing". TS
LOL!! I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Jay, and I'm very glad to know that my lesson content and teaching style are resonating with you and providing clarity and simplicity in the muddied, overly complicated, oft-conflicting realm of golf instruction!

Hi Ivan, Here are a couple of channel lesson videos that may help you to combat that steepness in your downswing: - ua-cam.com/video/dB4ItR3guGU/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/ukwnUkpWxHM/v-deo.html Also, you may wish to look into the LagShot clubs that you may have seen me speak about and demonstrate. In these episodes for example: - ua-cam.com/video/oxW_7HjzacY/v-deo.html - ua-cam.com/video/bLWekbGl7C8/v-deo.html I think they are awesome training aids for resolving a host of downswing sins, particularly because you can hit balls with them and receive instant feedback. Simply incorporate the LagShot into your practice routine and it will greatly assist you in grooving the proper motions and downswing path. Here is a link to the LagShot website - lagshotgolf.com?ref:sagutogolf - and if you do end up deciding to purchase be sure to enter the code SAGUTOGOLF at checkout for 15% off. Tom
Please - more videos on grip - it all starts with the grip - and it's nearly impossible to find decent videos on grip that demonstrate and explain it in simple terms
The Stack & Tilt system encourages a full body turn without hinderance, Jeremie. The need for weight to transfer back and then forward as a means of generating power is a fallacy that has sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well).

how are you liking the jumbo oversized grips?

Love it…maximizing our power sources!!
Yes indeed, Bob! 💪💪
excellent, please go into details about the down swing - what starts first - arms or hips?
Thanks!

@@SagutoGolf wow, thanks for taking the time to provide such a complete answer!!

I relate to Tom more than any other golf instructor on YT … I don’t watch other instructors anymore… you don’t need too many voices in your head 😂

If you enter the word "grip" in my channel's search bar you should find some related content.

Wow
Power comes from weight transfer and turning, which the stack and tilt method hinders.
The Stack & Tilt system encourages a full body turn without hinderance, Jeremie. The need for weight to transfer back and then forward as a means of generating power is a fallacy that has sadly relegated generations of golfers to the vast abyss of inconsistency and chronic frustration (and chronic back/knee/hip pain as well).
