Golf Grip Pressure (Sensors Prove What Happens When You Swing)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2023
- Not too long ago I did a tip about golf grip pressure throughout your swing. To do this, I used a grip that beeps if you grip on too hard. After I posted the tip, a gentleman contacted me from Sensor Edge. They make the best sensors in the world. They are used by Swing Catalyst, Full Swing etc.
He laughed at my beeping grip because they have created the world's first sensor for the grip that measures the pressure in your left or top hand. Your right or trail hand too. This has never been done before.
He just happened to be coming to town so we got together. I was able to hit shots and measure my grip pressure as well as have him answer questions that few people know about what actually happens with your grip pressure as you swing.
This is a long tip but in my mind it's very important because if you want to play better golf it all starts with your grip.
They have recently figured out a way to put their sensors in a golf grip. These sensors can These sensors are used by high end fitters, tour pros and long drivers.

Pretty cool to see numerical data that supports what you figured out when you changed to the body swing you've developed. Your tip on neutral grip ( thumbs placement) which promotes wrist hinge through the swing proves that the body turn is truly the power source, not the arms. Excellent vid Paul.
For sure. I was glad he came to town and showed it to me. Few people have ever seen this data. No one can get away from the fact that as the club changes direction you grip on to 100% + it's by the time you get to about hip high what are you going to do? You better lighten up so the club can release. If not, you won't allow the face to square. This is what most average players are doing so they typically slight and don't hit it very far. Glad you see it's the body not the arms. Keep at it.
Great content. Thanks for sharing
Glad you like it. Thanks so much.
You are an amazing teacher, Paul. Congrats!
Wow, thank you!
Wonderful video!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. Great info that few have ever seen or heard.
best conversation evener!!!! thank you
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
For what it’s worth I’d rather have Doc Wilson teach me in person, he’s proven over and over we don’t need a machine to show us how to swing❤
Well, live lessons are good. It's a great feeling when I get every student to hit it better than the have in their life in minutes.
@@paulwilsongolfhi Paul hope you are well. I’d like to ask what you feel your arms and hands do in the downswing if anything?
So this is the big part of how I got it after literally 10 years of working on it. I coil and set the top. At this moment in no way do I pull the club down with the hands. I fire my lower body. As the club is approaching impact I do not help the club hit the ball in any way. Instead, I just let it go. Here are 2 recent tips describing what I felt when I got it:

@@paulwilsongolfMany thanks Paul I really am going to try and practice this away from the range as I feel I stuck into just beating golf balls otherwise.
Do you think it’s an issue if you have a slightly flatter swing ? I can see you swing pretty upright, would a flatter swing be an issue with your technique?
Many thanks again Paul
Much appreciated
Scott
Very good. I keep telling everyone daily practice swings are the way to get it. The ball is the problem. No ball means no hitting with arms so you can actually make the changes then add balls later. Slightly flatter is fine. Just don't go under the shoulder plane. Yes, you can do my swing with a flatter plane for sure. Flatter would have you leaning towards a draw. Don't get it hooking too much and you will be fine.
You have the best videos. I hope next year I will be able to use them more than now. Unfortunately I've had my right shoulder replaced in April. Been using you lessons for 2 weeks. Unfortunately im getting my left shoulder replacement next month. Thank you for the help.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the support. Yes, you are out for now. Once you get back into it start off with slow, easy swings. Just keep watching and understanding it then do practice swings at home. Not being able to hit the ball is going to be a huge advantage for you. Build the swing then add the ball once you are able to.
the lightest of grip pressure at impact, the way in which the wrist work is finished halfway through downswing, and the quantification of pressure between lead and trail hands . . huge step in beneficial information
Well, lightest was still 73% of my total pressure in my lead hand. You see the drop off in my right. This is me not trying to help it with this hand. Yes, this is very beneficial. Problem is, few watched it. Unreal.
@@paulwilsongolfdon’t be discouraged. You well know the best stuff always comes w a bit of work. If golf teaches us anything it is patience. And 30+ min video requires dedication. You know most want the answer in 2-6 minutes. Some stuff isn’t for everyone. Well done.
I have noticed that in an effort to get an effortless swing, I am easing off the grip pressure so much that the club is feeling loose in my lead wrist. This was causing my lead wrist to cup heavily in the takeaway. I'll try to make the grip pressure a bit stronger but at the same time keep my wrists loose. It's a bit difficult to be honest but I guess I have to keep working at it.
Yep, don't do that. Powerless arms is in the down and through swing not the backswing. ua-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/v-deo.html
Takes work but the payoff is huge.
Interesting thanks Paul
For sure. This is the first time the average golfer is seeing this data yet few are watching it. And people wonder why I sound mad sometimes. I only editing this tip for about 4 straight days.
@@paulwilsongolf Yes it’s clearly very important. The collection of all your good tips if truly embraced produce a good mindset of positivity that gets us into the believing state of mind. And whilst all your tips are ultra important nevertheless this spin off of positivity is a fantastic bonus. It produces happy golf. Thanks. 😊
Yes, people need to believe and/or have hope. I certainly give them that. Positivity is vital too. They need to see some good ones pretty quick to get into that frame of mind where they know they can do it. This is why I tell people to hit at least 1 bucket. In that bucket they will hit some mind blowing shots that hopefully is the fuel to their fire to keep doing it.
@@paulwilsongolf good advice thanks very much Paul
FASCINATING!!
It is and yet this few are watching it. And people wonder why I sound mad sometimes.
@@paulwilsongolf Too funny! But this video gives great insight into how each hand on the grip is really working… I appreciate you putting this on your channel!
Exactly. This the first time in history the general public has access to this info. Glad a few people liked it.
Paul...I think that's the first time I've seen you swing without giving a tip...nice and fluid too
Yeah, was interesting. Now I want to try jumbo grips. Swing is not looking too bad. Working on a few things.
@paulwilsongolf aren't we all..lol. Let me know how the jumbo grip works out....
Just letting you know that I have my own section on this major magazine now. I am posting 2 tips per day. Lots of work. I will continue to do tips on UA-cam with more to come in the spring. www.mensjournal.com/pursuits/golf-tips/
Do you physically tighten at the top or does it happen naturally cuz gravity and the force of the club
Well, I tell people to physically tighten while keeping the wrists loose. Most people may tighten but when they do they tighten their wrists too. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/Z8K3Gctkz7A/v-deo.html
I am searching for the video on the beeping glove he laughed at. Can you please post a link? I certainly understand why a club full of sensors is superior to a glove with some cheap electronics, but perhaps it is more affordable that the 4500 dollars, or even the 1200 dollars they have as target for the consumer version of the product. Can you please explain, with the increased knowledge from this video, if the beeping glove is a useful tool for learning a better grip pressure?
You got that right. They are pricey especially for shooting 1 tip. Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/YHCEPu9e_1k/v-deo.html
Paul,
I am a very keen average golfer on a 15 handicap, aged 65. I have got down to a 9 in the past.
I watch a lot of UA-cam Golf and have been watching your channel on and off for years.
Recently however I decided to take up Jim Venetos’ unusual method as I was surprised how well it went standing closed and keeping the body quiet until after impact.
However, while pretty consistent, it limits how far I hit the ball, particularly my woods.
Your method seems diametrically opposite to Jim’s method in the use of the body, but I’m interested in trying it out, mainly to get more distance.
It intrigues me how two methods could be so different and yet both appear to have merit!
Can you give me any reasons to commit to your method other than “give it a try and see how it goes”??
Potential student Pete
I just watched a couple of his swings. This is very close to stack and tilt. Weight left and keep it there. Strong grip is not my cup of tea. If you have loose wrists and a strong grip you will snap it left so then you need locked wrists. Why I teach loose wrists is so you have power for life. You don't need to be strong to be loose. Also, you can see that move hampers his shoulder coil. He has great lag and maintains it well coming down. The average person is whacking away with their arms so they have no lag and are just basically hitting it with their arms (which will never work). My teaching is based on Iron Byron. If IB did that it would never work. They would need to aim the machine way right to get it to hook back into the fairway. This is 2 flaws. 2 flaws and you have to practice a lot to time them. My technique is also simple. You have the arm unit and the body. You also have to keep the tilt but that is related to hitting. I have been teaching my swing since 1991 and know the results I get. If you want to follow along that's great. If you want to do his that's great too. Just find someone and stick with them. Following too many people will be too confusing.

This is a great video Paul. Just more proof to what you've been saying all along - a good swing uses the body, and the arms and hands just follow along (virtually tension free) for the ride!
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Few people have seen or heard this info so it's an important one. I was still 73% with my left hand. Right was barely holding on.
Hi Paul, The sensors don't lie. But, I gotta tell ya, I'm having a helluva time snapping my wrists as in your other video while maintaining a light grip pressure. Especially the right hand with the big wrist hinge and lag.@@paulwilsongolf
I takes work. You want a secure grip with loose wrists. Keep in mind as the club moves beyond vertical coming down my pressure lights a little in the left hand and my right really lightens as I don't want to hit it with this hand. You need a secure grip with loose wrists. It is the wrist join you need to unlock. Watch:

Need closed captioning on
Well can't turn them on. Look for the CC icon. I hadn't done them yet. I am now about a 3rd into it. Only been working on it for about 4 hours now. Will keep at it over the next few days.
