- What grip and Why?
Advantages to both a strong and a weak golf grip so here are my recommendations. In my opinion there is one grip that is much more adaptable but its up to you to choose the best grip for your golf swing.
EUREKA GOLF SWING

For a golf swing that is CONSISTENT, provides a flat left wrist, compression, lag and more. Steve's EUREKA GOLF SWING is now being implemented in 52 countries taking the golfers game to a place that allows the body to turn, the flight to straighten and compression to become a reality.
The starting place is the "iron swing series" offering the set of the Eureka Golf Swing canes and a step by step tutorial of the full action.
REMEMBER: as Steve says, "There is a difference between opening your stance and aiming left".

I've played golf for 56 years and have always been warned off a srong left hand. Your lesson makes a lot of sense.
Steve, this is hands down one of your very best videos. Masterclass description of the impact of the grip.
Well done. 👍👍👍💯💯🙏🙏🔥
I’ve always been a strong left hand grip but until recently I start playing more neutral with right hand on top. Much easier to turn hard from the inside without fear of going left.
Steve, I've never been described as 'Funky' before....you sir are a legend! I have started to firm up my left hand grip, it really helps me suppress an annoying fade with my driver. Interestingly I'm neutral with every other club and relatively straight. My coach has worked miracles in helping me flatten my swing, its all starting to feel natural. Believe me the struggle is real! especially for my pro lol. Thanks for these really interesting lessons and discussions. You reinforce everything I learn.
loving the logic here. i'm a beginner and have been generally neutral. trying to bow the lead wrist and manage clubface that way and it's very complex. will work on the strong grip at the range today.
I have had a weak grip since a JR and was taught to use the wrist. When I was playing all the time as a JR and into my 20s, I was striking the ball great and it made it easy to work the left to right. That was 20 years ago LOL. I'm getting back into golf again and granted im SUPER rusty, I feel a strong grip would serve me better. However it feels so alien to use the strong since weak has been burning into brain LOL.
Nice vid big man, thanks for that. I’ve actually realised that the strong grip only works for me as my clubs are a bit too short. When I stand more upright and have my hand too much on the butt of the club, a neutral grip actually works. It’s not wrong to be strong!
Will definitely be trying this, I've got a weak grip and have problems getting the club on plane. Haven't seen any liv golf but I watch established pros breaking down with the emotional effort of winning on the European tour every week, love it Olli and Tommy.
Brilliant! Just realised a lifelong problem. I am naturally left handed, playing right handed and have progressively strengthened my grip over the years. I thought it was imperative that the right hand followed the strong left hand and have found it difficult to grip the club consistently. I think the butterfly grip may be the answer, thank you Steve
Steve. Every time I strengthen my grip I pull the ball left or duck hook! I’m still trying! I love my “Gem” by the way! Striking more consistently. I’ll work on strengthening my grip! As to LIV, politics aside I miss watching those guys! Most of them are lots of fun to watch. Phil and DJ being my favourites!
Strong grip for me changed two years ago I started hooking the odd shot with a strong grip so I now swing more around my shoulder blades it works for me .
Thanks for the grip tip Steve…I have all winter to work on it.
Strong all the way for me, 4 knuckles showing on all full shot's, no manipulation of the club, feels way more powerful, also stopped my old habits of letting the club get loose at the top of my swing, took a bit of getting used to when i changed, but well worth the effort
Unless i want to hit a very high flop shot, then i might weaken it.
Thanks ground’s keeper willie ( good tip for real!!)
Love to hear your opinion buddy!!!
if you roll over your forearms around impact you will get a hook -if your grip is very strong . Check the blade after impact 👌
Mmmmm 🪝
Steve, great video. I use strong left and my right feels weaker like Hogan (opposing forces). I feel locked in.
Steve, good stuff! Just to get more basic- if I wanted to hit another man backhanded it is much stronger to hit somebody in the face with the side of the fist than with a weak slap with the back of my hand,.
Yes Steve your take on Liv would be interesting.
I'll try it. Thanks
Once again excellent instruction. Thank you Steve.
Always had a weak or netrual grip personally, until I saw a pro on youtube said that a weak grip will end up with injury. Which ironically at the time i was suffering with pain in my hand, and felt like on fast swings I was maybe loosing control of the club at the top and letting the club lag and compress my hand. Switched to strong grip, initially i was hooking it more often, but it actually keeps me more grounded as i find it more difficult to "over swing" which is one of my biggest problems.
Great tip thanks steve
Thanks Steve, going to try this.
I feel the exact opposite for my swing. Im not sure if it's how my hips lie or having a weak left hip/knee/leg... but I find it difficult to get hip turn at the end of my round as opposed to the beginning. So my miss is almost always right or a fat shot because of weight shift issues. The weak grip feels more natural to me and the strong grip feels like I cant hold the club properly. I can attest that my top of the backswing hitch is a little off at times because of it... but I prefer the way it feels in every other way. Very interesting discussion though.
im the same way. With a neutral to weak grip I never hit fat shots and I compress the ball better with a lower ball flight.
Thank you 👍💚👍💚
Thanks
Yes LIV tour debate begin!
This is a great video steve thanks.
Thanks 🙏🏻
I have fast hips and naturally take the club inside on the takeaway and always sliced the ball so I thought a strong grip would fix that. Nope. Instead of fighting it I now have a weaker grip and bowed wrist. Allows me to turn through and not worry about club face.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Is the main difference between grip types, how your wrists are rotated when holding the club? i.e. if I start with a neutral grip, then 'turn' both hands together to the right (for right handed golfer) -- then adjust the club face to the new grip -- does that become a strong grip? Or are there more differences between how the 2 hands interact together?
Good stuff, thank you.
Do the LIV vid. I watched a few at the start, but there’s something about it that doesn’t feel feel like a golf ‘tournament’. Showpiece, yes. Drama of a tournament? Nope.
What is your opinion on the Liv tour ?
Love to hear your liv chat
I had no idea grip could cause so many issues. I wouldn't consider myself a beginner but certainly not an avid golfer anymore...but I have struggled with my irons for years, it drove me away from the game. I can hit my driver and woods long and straight, maybe a little fade with woods off the deck, but that's it. Bring out an iron and I can barely hit the ball off the ground and if I do, it's a dead push or duck slice way right- it drove me crazy, made zero sense. I had an IG golf instructor look at my swing and he said all that's wrong with it is my grip...does grip effect irons more than woods? Could my problem really just be too weak of a grip?
When you showed GEM swing trainer the club seemed to "swing itself" without manipulation. Does that mean that with a weak grip you cannot utilise the GEM swing trainer?
Curiosity, you do not pull the club straight back before turning. That is against everything I have been trained to do. Is there a correct answer to this question?
I’ve heard more about liv then I ever wanted to hear. If I never hear another word about liv I will be happy 😊.

Just remember your favorite basement dwelling president flew over and fist pumped the backer of Liv!! Not a joke!
Some of what you said is incorrect. Especially the plane with a weak grip. No golfer with a weak grip swings like you described. Check Jordan Spief
Do you use same grip for driver?
Whatever works for you.
i like LIV. now you talk about it lol
I play with a grip much weaker than you are demonstrating. I stick with Hogan, Moe Norman said Scottie.
LIV was a disruption of the system, and the response by the PGA was exactly wrong because it made the PGA the aggressor. All that did was accelerate the process of resolution, which was to the advantage of the LIV tour. If the PGA had stopped clutching its pearls and said "Let's see if this tour, LIV, can sustain itself. We are open to change, but not experimentation. Call us when you have it working, cause you don't have it working so far." What wasn't working for LIV? Sponsorships. Television. Regardless, it was the court case that forced the resolution because they were about to be required to disclose their secrets. So they panicked, started throwing poop, and then caved.
Azinger? lol
The weaker I grip the easier I make ball first contact
Liv tour is a great exhibition tour means completely nothing.
Weak grip all the way
Liv bunch of greedy ......... Hope they don't get to play in the majors
