Steve, watched a number of videos now and have to say, that for me, you talk a lot sense. A rare thing in YT golf land. You’ve helped me a lot with my ball striking. So a big Thanks man. ⛳️👍
Steve- dang it, it works! I tried this today with an emphasis on the grip as you described and finally broke par. Not 1 miss shot or hook or fat shot! Brilliant sir, thank you!
Anytime I’m having an issue with my swing, I notice my swing is longer. When I consciously pay attention to my swing length, I immediately start hitting better. Shortening your swing will absolutely change your game for the better, especially with driver
Your bloody psychic, mate. This is exactly what my golf pro friend has me fixing right now. Better grip, bit of a shorter backswing, keeping the legs quieter and building speed through the release. Practice for a week on simple drills and just shot my lowest round ever.
This is uncanny that you posted this today. Before my weekly league round yesterday, I noticed I was essentially "re-gripping" at the top of my swing. I applied the techniques you outlined to keep that grip pressure constant and I noticed 2 things, 1 -- my back swing felt shorter and more importantly 2 -- better more consistent contact.
There is only one other golf vid on UA-cam on this grip pressure between the hands …. Well spoken 👏 I find it then relaxes the right forefinger and thumb, with even a chance to lightly touch right forefinger and right thumb. There is even an argument the right palm pressure can avoid rolling wrists (possibly increasing swing width).
I play since 20 years and what you say was told to me by a teacher few weeks ago and I can confirm that it helps me a LOT, my interpretation is that on top of the feeling on control and solidity the two wrists work far more together and not one again the other , so thank you
Nobody talks about this! Good job. For me, it starts even earlier, at address. I've added a modest 'compressing' of the arms together at address to ensure the hands are in full contact with one another, to eliminate any 'comfortable' gaps in the grip, especially at that thumb juncture you talk about.
Steve. Another lovely video. Thank you. I am happy and confident to know and feel where my hands are at impact. But I need to mentally visualize where my hands are at the end of the backswing and what is the rotation of the hands through backswing and forward swing? Can you help with that? Keep up the superb videos. Cheers!
Absolutely correct in the importance of a correct and constant grip in game improvement. As a regripper at the top, I am always fighting a club face swinging open to closed based on my grasping and clutching that day. A very good video for me, and I hope many others.
Back in the late 70’s Davie Miller who I believe played Ryder Cup told me as a junior, that the lead thumb should support the club & act as a brake & Prevents the over swing, assuming it is in the correct position , seems similar to what you are witnessing?
Just tried it on 3 different clubs for half an hour Didn't hit it fat or thin on any shot - straight , good & powerful Unbelievable improvement for a very inconsistent hacker like me

@@stevejohnstongolf Please accept my heartfelt condolences and apologies for my assumptions. I was right all along, you are obviously a credit to your gender and profession! Looking forward to future input. And, thank you for your reply.
Hey Steve, great video. Could you clarify a statement you made about always practicing with a 7 iron being a mistake. When I do swing drills I always use a 7 iron. Is that wrong?
How does this grip work with a single plane swing as the hand is more on top, and for most single plane swings the grip is set further underneath? If you refer to your video " Mind still blown" when hitting your hybrid your trail hand looks further below than what is being shown here.
Great tip, but you are still allowing your arms to start the downswing rather than your lower body. That is why you are hitting it fat. The lower body starts the downswing. A great grip will not fix this. Good luck!
Jack Nicklaus? I grip it in the palm of my left hand and fingers on the right. Really helps get the club on plan and forces me to take my hands out of it.
@@kevthepongo Bending the left knee in the backswing allows the hips and body to rotate back properly while keeping your head over the ball. It's the key to the whole swing.
@@ast453000 I've been concentrating a bit more on that left knee and I have to say that there's something in what you say. My ball striking has been as good as it's ever been last few knocks. Many thanks 👍👍👍

This couldn't have come at a better time. I've thought for a while something was wrong with my grip, so looking forward to trying this. Thank you.

Thank you Steve 👍🏾

That's it. Everything is sorted now.
Great video Steve, at last a way to grip a club without all the fancy tech.

Great episode! I know I’ve always struggled with a too long swing and regripping at the top.
I needed this. Great video!

Good stuff again Steve ✅👍
Thank you. Just tried it. The grip that Mike Wydra taught me last year works nicely with your drill.
Another great intuitive video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us that are trying to improve at this wonderful game.
Very good video , lots of helpful tips . I love it . Tried this today and not much change to my normal grip , but very helpful. This works .
THIS is excellent!!
Sweet swingin’ Steve.
Excellent. Can't wait to try it. Thank you. Cheers!
Great video.
Excellent video!! Thank you!!!
You mentioned always practicing with 7 iron was a huge mistake. How come?

Great video Steve, my 3/4 swing is faster swing speed than my full swing.
Brilliant 👍
Those Lamkin grips are my go to's

Is that wrong?
@@paulmartin4272 imagine if you practiced everything with a 5 iron. How good would you be with 6,7,8 etc ??
Seve did everything with a 3 iron👍
Hey, I made this observation months ago... The modern swing is much shorter than it used to be.
Where did the single plane swing disappear to?
You said everyone uses the 7i to practice, huge mistake!, what do you mean by this?
I like to practice with my 8iron. It provides a little more loft and thus encouragement. Do you agree?
Nice hat! Castle Stuart

Secure but not tight is easier said than done. I’ve been regripping with my left hand for much of my life and I can’t stop 😫
Of course it feels different. I’d say I’ve never put a tee or a post it note in between finger and palm on any swing. Probably never will.
This only seems to work for that grip style. I mean what if you got a baseball grip or interlock grip? I think these wouldn’t work as well.
I notice when I regrip the duck hook creeps in
Guilty. Thanks for the tip.
Seems like your contacting ground before the ball
Great tip, but you are still allowing your arms to start the downswing rather than your lower body. That is why you are hitting it fat. The lower body starts the downswing. A great grip will not fix this. Good luck!
The Greast ball striker the world has ever known, would totally disagree with that.....he held it both palms, trail hand under the shaft.

I can't do that, have to have a 10 finger grip, due to nerve damage, Sp can you show me how to hit a better a shot using a baseball grip?
If you really want to learn something, watch their left knees.
How so? Can you give us a bit more?
@@kevthepongo Bending the left knee in the backswing allows the hips and body to rotate back properly while keeping your head over the ball. It's the key to the whole swing.
