The Neutral Golf Grip Left & Right Hand Positions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2020
- In order to play your best golf, you need to learn the proper golf grip. This means you need both the left and right hand in a neutral position. This tip explains the grip in a close up format so you can follow along. Whether you're a beginner or experienced player this is the best golf grip for both distance and consistency.

The reason for the neutral grip vs a strong grip is so you can have loose wrists when you swing. The looser your wrists, the more clubhead speed. If you are someone who has a strong grip but you keep hooking the ball and are inconsistent, you should definitely give the neutral grip a try.
Most people who change from a strong to neutral grip don't give it enough time so they go right back to their old grip. In my experience, it takes placing the right and left hand on in a neutral position, then without moving them, hit about 30 golf balls in a row with the ball on a tee to make it easier.
At first, you'll hit thin, pushed and sliced shots but by repeating it consecutively, you start to get used to the neutral position of both hands and get the ball back on line hitting it much straighter than you ever have.
To learn the proper neutral grip, please take out a club so you can follow along as this video is shot from your point of view in step by step format.
This neutral grip does not change as you change clubs. So your driver grip is the same grip you will be learning in this tip. All clubs (unless you're hitting a specialty shot) have both the right and left hand in this neutral position.
I know it will feel uncomfortable but you need to stick with it. If so you will learn the neutral golf grip and see the advantage of it in the future.

I like a lot of your lessons but I disagree with the grip having to be neutral for the fact that everyone is built differently. i play off 4 handicap which is not great but ok but I have tried everything and I always come back to a slightly strong grip. I have seen countless videos on grips and the come down to the conclusion of wherever your arms hang that's most likely be your grip style be it strong or neutral. I like to hear your thoughts on that , I am always open to ideas, theories and thoughts on golf but I never believe everything I hear till after I have tried it out.
@@JACKBRUNET True. But if you focus on comfortability right away, you'll be doomed. Everyone can do neutral. It's a lie if people say it's not possible. It's not a death grip, which is what 90 percent of people do.
Thanks very much. I need help as I have a tendency to contract my arms shortening the length of my swing and altering the proper swing plane. In many of my swings, I feel like that I'm chopping down on the ball. Secondly, my posture gets too far forward. I'm exhausted by the end of the round. Certainly not effortless golf.
@@JACKBRUNET 4 H/C NOT GREAT!!! that makes my 9 H/c Horrible... I agree with you on the grip,, I have a strong feel grip due to my nerve damage in the left hand,,and can't have my left hand be over lapped in any way with my right, so I have to use a baseball grip,,, that feels like a strong grip and as the R/hand is lower just a tad more so is my R/shoulder .that give me a draw, not always a controlled one. I've had to and still am finding my body swing, with bad back and all. I can still hit long.If I don't want the draw I push it straight right..If I try hitting straight, I draw.. it's a constant work in progress, still get on in two,, it's my putting that keeps me from my goal of scratch.. and I have had scratch when my swing is on song and my putting seems effortless.. you being off 4, I'm sure you have had days where you were, under the card..and bad day when you got that horrible 9
My thoughts are I teach a neutral grip so you can have loose wrists and no other flaws or compensations in your swing. Strong grip and loose wrists you will hook every shot. So you need a flaw or compensation to get the ball on target. This means you need to practice ... a lot to get the timing. How do I know this? I had a strong grip and I could never take days off. I like things simple. If people want to do a strong grip and practice a lot I could care less. I have other stuff to do so I like to not have to practice and still hit 80% fairways.
I’m not a person that comments on videos, but I felt inclined to share with you. I recently started playing again in mid July after a 15 year layoff and have had many struggles with consistency. I’ve watched a lot of videos and this one is the only one that has provided results like this! Driver, iron, or wedges. It doesn’t matter! I hit two buckets yesterday and have never been so encouraged by the results with anything. 85% of my shots from two buckets did what I was trying to do with the golf ball. Thank you so much! You’ve made a believer out of me and I’ll definitely be sharing your channel with my friends.
That's great. I will keep promoting the neutral grip no matter what anyone says. It gets way better results as you can testify to.
Same with me ❤
most thorough grip explanation ever seen online. Appreciated
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
You are a kind man putting something of this quality up for free. Thank you.
Glad you liked it. It all starts with the grip yet few people have a great grip.
This has got to be the most important tip of all Paul’s tips for me and the last one I discovered.
I was doing the loose wrist body swing with a very strong grip and getting lots of inconsistencies .
I found this video and recognized how different my grip was to Paul’s.
I went to the range and after about 10 or fifteen balls it clicked. I can not believe how such simple issue had me so screwed up.
It feels like it shouldn’t work but it does and I am slowly getting used to the feel of the new grip.
I would encourage everyone to compare their grip to the one Paul explains in this video.
I’ve hooked the ball for 40 years. Worked on your grip for a few days and can’t believe how much it helped. Went from hitting my 7 iron 135 to 155 and straight. Thank you.
Glad you tried it and it is helping. Not sure how many more people have to post that they are hitting it great doing the neutral grip for everyone to try it. Keep doing it ... forever.
You have just fixed my over-cupping ….
Who would have thought? 😮
Thank You! 😊
I've been gripping the club wrong my entire life and you just now made me realize it :'(
Thanks for watching!!
This has changed my life!
Im playing better than i could imagine with this grip. My swing is feeling fantastic & very loose.
Thanks Paul for explaining things in such a simple way!!!
100% the best teacher on the planet
Very good. Such a simple thing that few do. Didn't they say it all starts with the grip? Thanks for the support.
Paul, this video has done more for me than dozens of hours of coaching and time on the range and course.
Frankly, I can’t believe finding the neutral grip was that simple and no-one, except you, pointed it out before. I’m very grateful for all your beginner tips videos.
Glad it was helpful! It all starts with the grip. This is a huge part of the swing. Glad you are working on it.
Best grip tutorial i have seen! Thanks for all you do!
Happy to help!
Wow, Paul! Thanks for this. Of all the instruction videos I have watched, no one but you has ever showed me this! I am looking forward to my next day on the range
You are very welcome
Paul although I am left handed I could follow your instructions easily, I must have watched 30 + grip videos but none were as clear and concise as yours. I was heartened to learn that because I’m predominantly right handed in life and this hand being my stronger dominant hand this will in fact assist my left handed golf game! As soon as winter turns into spring I will be in my garden using your grip tip. One day I hope to visit Vegas again from the UK and when I do it would be a pleasure to book you for a lesson. Many thanks
Glad you found me and glad you like the tip. I just thought this view would be great to show exactly how to do it. Yes, if you are left handed playing right you have an advantage due to the top hand being stronger. Usually if the bottom hand is stronger the person (me included) will pull it back to the inside. Definitely keep working on it as much as you can so it's comfortable. With the new grip on also do this drill too: ua-cam.com/video/6ZeTqcz2pmE/v-deo.html
Thanks Paul. You promised a good tip and you have delivered. Thanks for what you do.
Very welcome
Best golf grip video on youtube. Look at no others, this is it.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
I love this tip! Paul makes getting your setup correct so easy. Aligning your leading edge with your forearm is so simple yet brilliant. You always have your forearm there as a ready reference point.
Glad to help! It all starts with the grip. Yes, having ways to check it on your own is vital.
Brilliantly explained, best grip instruction video I've seen yet. 👏👏👏
Great to hear!
Agreed
Hi Paul, the best grip instruction / lesson ever. I am one of your subscribers but this is one of your best. Thanks
Wow, thanks!
Best video on the grip I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been playing since 1976.
So glad you liked it. I thought this would be a great view for people to follow along.
This is the best grip lesson I've ever found. Thank you Paul.
Wow, thanks! This is a great view so you can learn how to do it by following along.
Great tip on the grip Paul, after a weekend practice I took it to the course today and hit the ball straighter and longer than ever before. Thanks 👍
Good stuff. Just got to be determined to switch. Uncomfortable at first but you get used to it. Then you see the payoff.
I just wish I was in Vegas to thank you in person. What a differencer a neutral grip makes! It's like the swing I've been working on wasn't ever really going to work or feel comfortable till now. I just needed to hear the directions. Thanks a million Paul!!
Just like hand position on that guitar your holding. Do some weird positioning and it will be harder to play. Glad you found this one and are working on it.
Well put! Thanks again!
The best golf grip video in UA-cam all ready !!! Thanks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad you liked it!
Like always, great tip. You make it so simple. Thanks
Glad you think so!
This video definitely got my ball striking back on track! I have been searching for comfort and control with my grip for the past year and your tip got me swinging again with confidence as I have found the face once more. Thank you!
Excellent tip Paul. Grateful indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it. It all starts with the grip.
Paul, love it. Always struggled with control, I’m into week 2 of my change over.
Very good. This won't take long. Just see this as a unit that hinges instead of hands and arms. Stay loose.
Wow Paul, I gotta say this has been eye opening. I erroneously thought I had a neutral grip. But it was a 10 finger grip with right hand having a lot of power in it. I just followed along to this step-by-step in my room and just did some gentle swings, and I swear I can tell a difference in my wrists already. It's like they are more oily for lack of a better way of describing it. It's like a-ha! Now I can understand more of what you are talking about when you talk about loose wrists. Can't wait to take it to the range to work on some full shots with it. Thanks!
Few people have a good grip. They just do what is comfortable instead of learning it. Stay focused and be precise. In a few practice sessions you will have it. Neutral grip allows for loose wrists.
You’re a natural and gifted teacher. Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Great video, as usual Paul! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. This shows exactly how to do it.
Best and most complete description of a neutral grip. Well done.
Glad it was helpful!
The guide for setting up the top hand more in the palm works great. Very consistent. The same exact feel each time. The wrist cupping factor and how the grip affects it was an eye opener too. Never seen that addressed in all the grip videos out there. Spot on Paul 👍
Glad you liked it. Hogan and Annika also talked about this so you are in good company. You certainly don't want to be overcupping.
Thanks Paul. I always go back and review your tips as well as rewatch the purchased Body Swing Videos. It has made a huge difference. Because of the body swing I can now play as much as I want. Before my shoulders and back hurt. Not anymore. Playing as much as 6 times a week with no pain and playing better golf. A huge than YOU.
Great to hear! That is the exact thing I preach all the time; a pain free golf swing. Thanks for Watching!!
I'm "new again" to golf and just want to say thank you for the way you explain these concepts to new players. It's very easy to understand and go practice right away. Very excited to hit some balls next time!
I have watched a ton of videos looking for help with no real success. These tips are easy to follow and understand, and they work. I had no idea the problems my grip was causing. I’ve been practicing this along with the lag drill and golf is starting to be enjoyable again instead of constant frustration. Paul, thank you.
You're very welcome!
This was a blessing for me. Saw this video yesterday and tried it at the driving range this afternoon. Never hit my clubs so consistent and so long. Thank you so much. It has given me a lot of confidence.
Glad it helped. It's a great feeling when you hit the ball well. Keep at it.
Best camera work on a grip video I have seen, also the why to do it this way, and adjustments if your hand strength is different than most people.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. Thought people would to see it from my view. Watch these ones too:
ua-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/7olBqwXF3Ik/v-deo.html
The best explanation of it all. It's a game changer as you can feel the difference between the ? mark hold and the thumb hold. Paul sets all the Veees in motion.
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Great information, thank you! Try it out on the range today and everytime I hit the ball it goes straight with the driver, irons even the wedges as well👏👍👍
The best explanation ever. I will try all this and let you know. Thank you Paul!
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
What a beautifully explained video @Paul. Not many other instructors I have come across explained it in a way that provides easy to follow checkpoints. I have a crazy strong grip (habit I developed recently, so going to commit myself to the neutral and give it my all)!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks. It will take a while to get it as it will feel uncomfortable but doing the neutral grip will allow you to loosen your wrists. Once you get the grip so these drills daily:

ua-cam.com/video/Xk7t9yHCO-I/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/7olBqwXF3Ik/v-deo.html
this was very informative and goes well with the other videos.
these videos have been a great help in my revamped effortless pain free swing. :-)
not sure when i be back down in Vegas (Covid) but when i do i will get a time slot, and hopefully just a few tweaks will finish the journey.
Anytime!! Let me know the next time that you are through Vegas and we can fix that grip once and for all.
Literally the best golf grip video out there. THANK YOU for making this excellent instructional
So glad you liked it. Lots of people benefitting from this one.
@@paulwilsongolf one request, could you make a chipping instructional video? The only one i see posted is all about distances and using different clubs. I’d love to see one on technique, grip, stance, ball placement, weight shift, etc etc.
Can't wait to hit the range tomorrow. I've been binge watching your videos. Your instruction reminds me of an instructor I had in the military. The way you explain, show, repeat. 3 different ways to input it in the brain helps retain it into long-term memory.
Very good. And some people wonder why I repeat it. Glad you get the reinforcement.
@@paulwilsongolf went to the range. And oh boy. First off, the grip felt weird at first. Almost 50 balls later i started to get a bit use to it. It helped with the hinging and unhinging I was not doing before. And was working on swinging with full extention about 1.5ft In front of the ball instead of trying to hit the ball. That was the hardest part. But when I got it all together, it was such an effortless swing and I put my 7i 165 carry and my driver 230 carry. That is at least a 20 yard gain on all my clubs. Even my LW was hitting 85 yard carry. You have the best instruction videos out their by far.
Thanks, Paul! This is really a superb video. Just what I needed. I had a (very) strong grip for a long time. Never realized that this was the reason for a lot of my former inconsistant shots. I practized the neutral grip today on the range, hit more than 100 balls in a row, really straight, so now I am pretty sure I will become a second Dustin Johnson at last :-) Thanks to you I improve my skills. I love your videos and the way you teach. Kind regards from the Netherlands!
Thanks. Glad you liked it. Glad you tried it for more than 3 balls. Doesn't take much to get used to it and once you do you will never go back to a strong grip. Please keep at it. Neutral grip and loose wrists.
Awesome video,Enjoyed very much. I did that grip the last time and it really did great. I wish that I could keep this video
Great to hear! Keep watching it and follow along until you have it mastered. Won't take long.
Excellent explanation of the grip! So many swing faults start with the grip. I’ve heard the importance of the grip forever, but never heard / seen it explained as well as you have done here. Thank you !
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Thanks...best grip video I've ever seen. I had been placing the right hand parallel...more in the fingers for a draw and more in the palm for a fade. I can't wait to head out to the range and try this out!
Right on! Let me know how it works out!!
@@paulwilsongolf Not a great first day. I was hitting the ball all over...some pulls, topped duffs, left to right low bananas, and some high slices and fades. I have to have that grip perfect, I lost the grip on the club a couple of times during the swing. I did have some good shots though when I really concentrated on hitting with my body with a relaxed grip. I think my hands were rebelling and trying to find a way to go after the ball(as well as gripping too tight which may have caused some tension). I'm going to give it another try tomorrow.
Great! You are making a change and you hit some great shots. That is what is coming in the future if you keep working on it. Just keep mastering the grip for now. Tee it up and just keep hitting shots holding on but securing your grip and loosening your wrists. You will get this in no time. Then keep working on the swing. I would also do the grip at home a night. Put it on while watching TV. Take it off for commercials. Then you get used to the feeling and it stops feeling uncomfortable.
Hi Paul, one of your amazing videos again. Thank you
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
Holy jeez, just came across your channel and this video, I just naturally gripped my club the way I normally do it and I wasn't even close to this, can't wait to try this out, maybe I can finally start to keep up with my buddy who always beats me lol, great info!!!
Thanks Paul can’t wait to try this. My wrists kind of hurt a little when I try to hinge so this should alleviate that problem. Much appreciated!
Give it a try. I have had people who's wrists hurt a little when hinging even with this grip. Just got to secure the grip and keep hinging and rehinging until you get used to it. If it persists then there could be an actual wrist issue. Pretty rare but it can happen.
Thank you for linking back to this video. I thought I already had the correct grip but this definitely made the changes I needed and I am no longer losing shot after shot to the right.
Very good. Glad you are following it. It all starts with the grip.
That is without doubt the most instructional video on the whole of you tube, teaching me, in depth, what is correct and what is failure with the grip. Another clear and concise video on improving your game. As a purchaser of your ‘Bodyswing’ instructional videos, plus full book and On the Range and on the Course booklet I urge anybody who wants to improve their game to purchase The Bodyswing. Paul Wilson keeps delivering more and more with his constant instructional videos. Thanks again Paul.
Wow, thank you! Have people not heard the line "it all starts with the grip." Been around forever. Unfortunately, most want to take short cuts. Throw a strong grip on there and hit a couple of hooks thinking they've got it when really it was luck. When I do something I do it right. At the point of getting it you can experiment to see what effect something like a strong grip would do to their swing then assess if they should keep doing it or not. I don't teach bandaids. I don't beleive any cannot learn the swing I teach. This is why I do what I do. Thanks for the promo. I truly appreciate it.
Well stated Paul I love your videos they are helping me a lot going into my 4th year I'm about a 12 handicap right now just turned 48 yrs. old.... all these videos help a lot, slowly gaining more distance thank you! I was one of those guys who had a strong grip.
Very good. Glad you decided to make the switch. I have some bashers on this one board that don't seem to agree. Oh well, if they want to hit tons of balls that's fine. I have other stuff to do. I literally haven't played since August. I went out the other day and missed 2 fairways by yards and that was just cause I tried to kill it. When I had a strong grip I couldn't take one day off. If I did, it would take me a week to get it back. People seem to think this is my first rodeo. Glad you are on board.
Wow, thank you so much for this video! I developed the shanks and this has improved my grip and swing immensely! Liked and subscribed!
Glad you help. You need to watch my shank video. I have literally helped hundreds of shakers in minutes (read the comments below the tip). Just for future reference:
ua-cam.com/video/m9kj0548rYw/v-deo.html The grip is huge too. If you are in a strong grip you were in a position to hit with the arms. This is not what you want to be doing.
Thanks Paul. I was taught just the opposite with the club going across the fingers of the left hand and across the palm of the right. When you stated that could cause cupping of the wrist, you are exactly correct. I fight that cupping at the top all the time. I’ve been fighting that dang right hand for years too. It dominates my swing causing the the ball to go high and to the right. After watching your video I grabbed a club and in my living room did some half swings and the club face squares up now. I’ve also been a interlocking grip person but after your explanation I can see where it can also create some issues. Looking forward to going to the range and hitting some balls. Keep up the great videos.
Very good you see it. This is going to be a game changer for you. Keep getting used to it and you will never grip it any other way. Glad you changed to overlapping too. It's rare if anyone does that interlock right. They always try to wedge that pinky in there too much.
This was a breath of fresh air paul I never noticed my hands slipping round the club and my right hand gripped to tight awesome tips
Thank you very much!! You definitely want a solid connection to the golf club.
Paul,
Your lesson on the grip is by far the best I have experienced. The grip has played a significant part in getting my arms from controlling the swing. My body can now work as intended. Making a change to grip does take time and patience. Slowing down my swing a letting my body take over was very helpful. This was a game changer for me.
Thanks,
Ron
Glad you liked it. It all starts with the grip. It does take a little getting used to if you have been doing it wrong. Just see it as a hinge. So no matter how uncomfortable it is, you want to do it to allow the wrists to hinge and rehinge. Once you get this, yes, you can work on the body. Keep at it.
Paul, Just by using this grip has changed everything for me. Hitting the ball more solid than ever. I’ll be watching more of your videos for sure! Thanks, Brent
Very good. I keep trying to get people to try it. You are proof it works but it takes a little understanding and work. Keep at it.
Really clear and detailed demo of the grip you recommend. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I have revisited this video many times. By far I’ve seen great improvement in my ball striking with this tip. When done correctly I have hit straighter shots. I see this skill as one of the more important foundations. Get this correct and work on the others. Thank you for your videos.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for taking the time to do that point of view
I thought this would be a great view so people could actually see it. Seems to be helping a lot of people. Glad you liked it. Thanks.
you teach with so much confidence i cannot help but want to try your method. going to the range on Sunday...gonna try this out.
Thanks. Everything I teach I have been using on tens of thousands of students since 1991 so I know what works and what doesn't. Just follow along and I will make you a star.
Great stuff Paul, I'm from the UK,I was taught this grip in my first ever golf lessons 25 years ago, instructor always said it would feel wrong but the ball always went straight and far even with a half L to L swing. I will grain this into my head now, love the loose wrist videos too, I always hit driver better with no tension in my shoulders, but it's so hard trying not to wack that ball, suppose it's a man thing, thanks for your videos, been a big fan for many years great work👍👍⛳
Thanks. Yes, you learned the right fundamentals. Hitting is a human nature thing: ua-cam.com/video/fuOJxv_22Hk/v-deo.html Just see it differently and start going against it.
Thank you Paul, this is ultimately the very best explanation as to why we need grip the club in the manner explained. Every other instruction I've ever browsed misses the point of the need to weaken the strongest hand in the golfers grip. Once explained the average golfer latches onto this very important piece of information & retains same for time. You're a champion, Cheers - Greg
Thanks so much. I thought this would be a good view for everyone. It all starts with the grip. I don't see your hands as hands and wrists as wrists. It's hinging mechanism that allows your wrists to hinge and rehinge. It needs to work as a unit. Glad you see it.
Great video. Since I’ve started playing I’ve only played with a really strong grip. On my best shots I can hit it a mile but that’s only a handful of times a round. The rest hooks, fat shots, thin shots, you name it. Changing to a neutral grip has really forced me to use my body to turn and while I don’t have the power I once did I’m looking forward to getting the consistency out of a neutral grip forcing my body to turn through the ball.
Glad you like it. Thanks. That strong grip is tricky as you know. Glad you made the switch. Sure, it's fun hitting some long shots but it's more fun writing lower numbers on your card. Stick with it and perfect it. You can hit the ball a long way with a neutral grip so don't think you can't. Just look at the best driver of all time Mike Dunaway. He had a neutral grip. He hit it longer and straighter than anyone ever flying it 380 with a normal length small head driver. It can be done.
Very well explained. Very clear.
Glad it was helpful!
as someone who watches a lot of youtube. it's much appreciated that you did your advert and additional info at the end. makes so much of a difference! Watched video all the way through, heard your pitch. Hit that like and subscribe button. Will be watching more vids for sure!
Glad you found me and like the videos. Not sure where everyone else is doing their promo but it makes sense to do it at the end. We have to eat so we have to promote. Just need to not be in everyone's face as we do it. Thanks for the support.
Hi Paul
First I want to thank you for all of the great videos. Secondly I did watch your video on the neutral grip and have been using that since the golf season started up here in Nova Scotia. Big difference in having control. I did watch the the videos on using your body not your arms. Not until today did I really try to do that. It didn't happen on every shot, but on the ones I used my body more, those shots were really good. As well my back did not bother me at all today. It does feel effortless. I'm here to tell anyone who is reading this that this works for anyone, any skill level and any age. Someone told me today that this is the way the pros are going. Since most of them are in great shape anyway, this will only extend their career and take their game up a level. It works. Make it a goal this year by August you will be doing this consistantly. Thanks again
Just saw this questions. Glad you like the tips. Thanks. So glad you worked on the grip. This is vital in an effortless swing. Effortless and pain-free. You are saying all of the right things. Keep at it.
Very detailed description, I developed a bad hook years ago and gave up the game for over 20 years, since UA-cam and video instructions I've seen starting to get back into it.
Really loved this video and will try with this grip, thank you.
Glad you liked it. It all starts with the grip. With a neutral grip you can have loose wrists without hitting huge hooks. The wrists hinge and rehinge. A hinge is loose. The looser it is the faster it swings with less effort. Then you attach this arm unit to your body which is coiling and uncoiling. Watch:

Great video on grip! Thank you!
Glad you liked it. It all starts with the grip.
Thank you so much for this priceless instruction, Mr. Wilson. I have been playing golf for 16 years now and I am a 2-handicap-player, but this tip really transformed my golf game in a positive way. Subscribed to your channel immediately.
You're welcome. Nice hdcp. Here is my advice. Keep it super simple. You get these better players trying to diagnose every morsel of the swing. This is what I used to do and it go me nowhere. Once I made it simple it was game changing. Grip and set up for sure. Coil/uncoil. Hinge/rehinge. Turn your arms off completely in the downswing. Watch your ball. I will tell you exactly how to fix your own swing if you hit a bad shot. This one may help you:

@@paulwilsongolf , thank you so much for another valuable instruction, Mr. Wilson. Believe it or not, 3 days ago I shot my first ever hole-in-one from 177 metres on a PAR 3. Of course you need some luck to achieve that, but since I have changed from a strong grip to a neutral one according to your tip, my iron play has gained significant precision and I got rid of this destructive snap hook I sometimes used to hit with my driver every once in while. Thank you again, Sir.
That's great. Such an exciting feeling when you get one and that wasn't a short one ... even better! Glad you learned the neutral grip and are doing well. I love hearing it. Keep up the good work and let's get another hole in one!
Great lesson Paul probably the best lesson the grip I've seen. I believe the great Ben Hogan said the grip was 90% of the golf set up and swing.
Thanks for watching!!
Excellent lessons!
Thanks! 😃
honestly out of all tips I always follow yours.
Thanks so much. I keep it simple and say things in way that you understand it and will actually do it. If I can get that, you will get it. Just a matter of time.
Your instructions rock, if so many people looked like your swings.
Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. I will keep saying it and hopefully more and more people start doing it. Uphill battle.
Really helpful video. I have been playing for over 25 years but in recent months I was frequently turning the club over with a severe right to left flight. I realised I was holding the grip in my left-hand fingers rather than across my palm as a direct result of viewing this video. Went to our driving range today with a basket of 60 balls - huge improvement in consistency & ball flight. Thank you Paul!
Very good. I do like a secure connection in the left hand. Glad you tried it and saw the difference. Won't take long to get used to it.
Yo Paul!
Thanks for the tip, I used this method and had an awesome round of golf yesterday. My grip never felt too confident at the top of my swing. Using my pointer finger to cradle the club made a missive difference.
I ended up hitting my first eagle on a par 5!
Wow! Great job. Exciting times for you. Just stay focused and work on precise placement of the hands. It all starts with the grip yet few do it right.
Golfing ⛳️ is hard but great Fun outdoors
Great lesson. Thank you
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
This video was immensely helpful for someone who has had a strong grip for 40 years. I'm going to the range today and will combine this video with the swing plane tips. I'm going to practice an overlap versus interlock. Looking forward to the practice session.
Glad it was helpful! So many people have a strong grip. So many people struggle with this game. Hmmm maybe there is a correlation. AS you found out it doesn't take long to get used to it. Once you do you it is so much better. Overlap is good too. I don't like the interlock because people sacrifice comfort of the pinky wedged in for the position of the hand. If you can have perfect bottom hand placement while doing an interlock I am okay with that grip.
Sound like me strong interlocking grip and major problems ...I will also try this..
Paul, you videos have completely changed my game. Wrist hinge, loose wrists, wrist rotation and using your body and not your arms. Incredible. Shot a 78 at our local simulator and hoping this translates to the course come spring.
That's great. The signs are all there that you are going to have a great season. It's a little different on the course but it should translate. You have the right thoughts so I don't see you not being able to do it.
Thank you Paul!! 5 handicap here but I've been holding off my swing and hurting my back as a result of the strong grip that I was taught (by a prominent instructor). It's nice to let the club swing without manipulating my body to compensate.
Yeah, I definitely don't like that strong grip. The best of all time never did a strong grip so why would I teach it to anyone? Sure, there are some pros that do it but they are pros and spend all day out there hitting balls getting the timing. As you found out it's much easier on the body too! Keep doing it and just see your hand and wrists as a unit that hinges. Looser the hinge the faster it swings.
I watched your video today. Tried it with my practice cage in the backyard. It felt amazing, so I played a quick nine and my snap hook and regular hook were gone. Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. Subscribed and liked.
Yes, if you are hooking without trying to hook it you have a grip problem. I fixed countless golfers with the hooks in minutes just by neutralizing their grip. It will feel uncomfortable for a few practice sessions but stick with it. Thanks for the sub. I appreciate it. Watch these:

Really helpful, thanks Paul 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I’ve been away from golf for about a decade now. I miss the game, and I’ve thought about picking up the sticks again, but there is SO much content out there now it’s hard to pick and choose what to follow. I’ve watched several of your videos, and I admire your training style and the fact that you’re giving so much back to the game. If I do start playing again, your teaching is what I’ll follow. Thank you.
Glad you're back. Yes, there can be a lot of info out there. Find a pro (hopefully it's me) and follow them only. We all have our ideas on the swing. I have taught the same way since 1991 and get amazing results super fast but others reach different. You don't want to get confused.

Another great vid Paul! After 22 years and lately alot of research I’m finally employing a neutral grip as you teach here. Ridiculous game changer. Never understood or had the wrist hinge until now. Most importantly, I wasn’t putting the grip properly along the 2nd pads of my trailing hand, or the fingers always was using the 1st pads, doh!. Holy shit I get it all now and with this new proper grip I now have I can do all the other wonderful things like using my body instead of my arms and hands. Last week i’ve hit the best shots of my life by far and consistently. I can use all my clubs now especially driver
This is a big. It all starts with the grip. Keep checking it to make sure it doesn't fall out of position.
i swear ..I did this today on the course after a few range sessions!! and IT WORKS !! even in the UK 🙏😎👊 thanks Paul
Fantastic! So glad you tried it. That strong grip causes so many issues in the swing. Stay focused and keep at it.
Thanks so much I save videos grip 10 years ago about left hand in palm and right hand in fingers
Glad you found me. Famous pic of Hogan holding the club this way and a video with Annika too. They were pretty good.
Just bought your body swing package this weekend. The grip, I've always had BOTH hands cradle the grip in the fingers. Placing the grip of the top hand into the palm... wow, so secure. I love it!
Thanks for the support. Hopefully, you have been doing daily practice swings working on the positions and building a great swing. A great swing hits great shots. The grip is where it all starts. You should be getting used to it by now. Please keep checking it daily.
@@paulwilsongolf YUP! Just reviewed this video. I had reverted to a bad position with my dominant (lower) hand, I was wrapping fingers to grip while first rotating the wrist so the palm is facing skyward. When in that position it will close the clubface which results in the dead pull I've been seeing. You think you have it then you revert to old habits. Thank you sir!
We always want to go back to what's comfortable. This is human nature. Just have a checklist of things that you always check so you don't get out of position. This is why I keep telling everyone to do daily practice swings. Once a week isn't going to cut it.
Thank you Paul been struggling with a snap hook with driver and I understand why now, it's my grip.
You're welcome. If you are hooking it without trying to hook it you have a grip problem so yes, it was a grip problem. Do a more neutral grip and determine based on how much draw you want. Once you get it focus back on your lower body to hit the shots. Won't take long to fix you.
Foret my question! LOL I should have watched to whole video...Great video once again! Thanks.
No worries!
Thank you for this video! I was struggling with pull draws with every club the other day and I believe it was due to a stronger grip and having the club in my right hand (LH golfer) in my fingers and not in my palm. Thanks again!
Glad it helped! I would watch this one too:
ua-cam.com/video/FOB9geBbyFA/v-deo.html
I'm sure going to give this a go this weekend. I can't say I have ever felt comfortable or confident with swing and grip. Thanks Paul.
Great. When people aren't comfortable with the grip I have them see it another way. The hands and wrist are not hands and wrists. It's a hinging mechanism like the hinge on your door. The hands are one flap of the hinge screwed onto your door in a square (neutral) position. Your wrists are like the metal bar on a hinge. The grip is secure. The wrists are loose.
Watch:

I've battled a hook most of my life, went for lessons and instructors have always said my grip was fine even though I was convinced it was strong. Went to the range the last 2 nights, forced myself to weaken my grip (which feels incredibly arien), the result?? A far more accurate and consistent ball flight, was even able to fade the ball on queue which is a god send for me. Can't wait to take it onto the course.
That's great. Glad you tried it. Yes it takes a bit to get used to but now you've seen some better shots you will want to change it.
Paul.. You have really helped to transform my game with your tips(bought how to hit driver).
I was always taught to hold in fingers of left hand, but felt it caused the unintended cupping so video helped to correct it.
Adapted fairly easy to the neutral grip and striking ball more squarely and consistently now for sure. This along with relaxed arms and loose wrists hinging/ rehinging has me more consistent and longer indeed. Great to see you churning out the tips!
Glad to help. Thanks for picking up the Driver video. I appreciate it. Yeah fingers of the top hand is not good. Covid gave me time to get rolling on the tips. Takes serious work. Plus, I'm finally at the point I am sick of people not improving and understanding it. As I keep posting the snowball will keep rolling down the hill until it can't be stopped. Then we will really shake up the golf world. Be fun to see.
@@paulwilsongolf Refreshing to get meaningful help versus the technical jargon that most people can't relate to
Very good. Simple is the key.
Paul this grip change has really helped me. I was hitting fat shots constantly driving me nuts. My right hand was to strong and to much pressure overtaking my down swing. Really appreciate it.
Yes you are correct. If the arms out pace the body you will hit it fat. Glad you made the switch. Neutral is the way to go.
Best Explanation I've ever heard on how to properly grip the club Paul - thankyou! Taking it to the range this week to hit those 30 balls +. Have 20 years of baseball grip to lose!
Thanks so much. This takes a little work and getting used to the weird feeling. Once you get it though you will then be able to hinge and rehinge your wrists.
@@paulwilsongolf Actually the new grip feels really comfortable - was surprised as how quickly I got into the routine. Hoping that re-hinge will come with practice as will some lag! Now to practice digging in the instep. Thankyou Paul
Paul, I have been tweaking my grip for a very long time. The temporary results were OK for a while then inconsistency reappeared and I’d start the tweaking again. I tried your neutral grip after watching this video. Every thing feels so natural and flows easily. I played with your grip and I had more success than I’ve ever had before. No more tweaking. My net gross was -3 . Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!
Great to hear! Just got to try it long enough to see the results. Glad you did.
Excellent explanation of how to achieve a neutral grip together with the rationale for doing so. I use a strong grip and do regularly send the ball to the left, but when I time it right I get a workable draw and good carry and roll. A bit reticent to go neutral for fear of going right but I will try your bucket of balls challenge to see whether I can loosen the wrists and hit straight. Thanks for your tips Paul
You just have to try it for a short while. You will see that the bad shots will be less and less. Let me know how it works out.
An eye opener if ever there was one, this changes everything, I'm excited. Thanks Paul, I'm 100% behind this, although it's nearly midnight 🤣 can't wait to get this going 👍
Very good. This is helping so many people hinge the club which creates more power. Let us know how you do.
I have watched this video and I can tell you the using of a neutral grip as shown in this video solved a couple of problems. Strangely, Iam a lefty with my right hand dominant. But, regardless, this neutral grip did help me a lot. Thanks.
Very good. Glad you found this and are working on a neutral grip. Keep at it.
