Hand Square to Target Line Golf Grip

Video Transcript

"This tip is on the role of the right hand and it's a square right hand. Most people, when they hold the club, their right hand is turned to the right with a line going at their shoulder, perhaps to the right of their shoulder. I'm suggesting a different right hand grip which will encourage you to use your right hand in a slightly different manner. And that is, if you were going to slap a ball, which Bobby Jones talks about. He says that the hand action through the ball should be if you were playing hand ball and there's a ball at impact and you want to slap that ball at the intended target. In order to do that, the hands will not turn over but actually slap with the wrists going in that manner. Now if you like this impersonation, call Jay Golden at Bobby. We're trying to encourage a release with the wrists going in this way. Ben Hogan also talks about that in his book, "Power Golf." The hands release in this manner. To do that, you have to start with your hand in that manner and to start with your hand in that manner, it's considered a weak right hand grip. So I'm going to put my hand square and then I'm going to close my hand on the club. As you can see, that line goes more towards my chin but with that, I can now use my hand in a manner that will slap the club head into the ball and towards the target. Thank you. I talk like this because I'm from Alabama. Try it, you might like it."
