TRANSCRIPTS
I'm Martin Hall, Director of Instruction at Ibis Golf and
Country Club West Palm Beach. Your grip is too weak.
Now, what does that mean? Well, it means you're going
to hit a lot of slices, and the thing we
all react to the very most in this game with
golf is the clubface. You hang to the only thing
that cuts the clubface so how you get your hands
on the club, absolutely vital. I don't want you having
a weak grip. Here is the best tip I know
so that you get your grip where it should be.
Your grip is too weak. How are we going to
fix it? I've taken two shafts here. I just [unk]
them together. Now typically, a weak grip is where the
hands are turned too much that way. Back of the
left hand probably down to the ground a bit too
much, palm of the right hand down at the ground.
Take a grip, your normal grip with the shaft. But
because it's a shaft it's very easy to turn the
hands without really twisting anything in the shoulders. And I
want you to take both hands and feel that you
turn them both a little clockwise. So, I'm turning the
shaft, I'm going from here to here. Now, my right
hand is going to feel much more under the club
and so should yours. Here's a little two for one
here. Put the back of your right hand against your
right leg. And bring the right hand to the club
that way, you probably should be able to see two
knuckles of your left hand. That's going to get rid
of the weak grip. That's going to get rid of
the slices. So, let's see if I can do that
if we're going to hit one. Here we go, left
hand, I can see two knuckles. Back of the right
hands to back of-- to the right leg. Bring the
right hand to the club that way. That's a stronger
grip. Very unlikely that I'm going to slice the ball
from here. And I didn't, I hit a nice little
roll there. There's no excuse for you not having a
wonderful grip. You may not be able to play like
a superstar but you should be able to grip the
club like a superstar.
