- A strong grip is one of the most detrimental things you can do to your golf swing. Quite shocking I know because everyone thinks that a stronger grip equates to more power,
More distance, better strikes and it's what the pros do. I'm here to tell you, not as many pros do it as you think and having a strong grip is actually going to rob you of distance and it's one of the most detrimental things you can do for power. injuries to your wrist, things like tendonitis. And if you struggle with a slice, you might be looking in all the wrong places when in actual fact, your grip is causing you to slice the ball into the trees.
A strong golf grip is also going to cause flipping, which is really going to affect your ball striking consistency. It's also going to reduce the height that you hit the shots, which is going to rob you of distance.

Here's what we cover in this golf video.
Which hand do you think controls the angle of the club face?
Did you know that 75 to 90% of your shot direction depends on what the club face is doing at impact the hands they do a heck of a lot more than just grip the club and stop it flying away. Which hand do you think controls the angle of the club face?
Alex Fortey from the Art of Simple Golf gives you simple tips to improve your golf swing. Enjoy this golf video to help you get closer to having YOUR perfect golf swing.
The only thing that really controls the club face are your wrists. And we need to start learning what it is to control that club face so we can get it square more often while the body, the torso, the shoulders, hips, all have an effect on how we deliver the club.

You won’t believe how happy I am for listening this warning… every golf teacher I had lessons with asked for this strong grip. For me it is impossible; I have arthritis what makes difficult to turn the arm.. thank you! I’ll keep my weak grip and certainly I’ll enjoy much more my game the way it is!
I started playing golf a year ago at 48 years old. I thought I had a nice relaxed grip, stance and generally easy swing and then I let everyone get inside my head to change things. Now it's a mess.
This video helps me go back to how I felt in the beginning. Thank you.
I used to watch videos of Dustin Johnson who is one that has a significantly strong left hand, and eventually I noticed how incredibly an athletic he was, because he was able to hold that angle through impact by moving/opening his body so aggressively. I quickly realized that was not possible for us mere mortals. TH-cam instructors that teach this are not doing the “weekend warriors” any service. There’s a reason why Pro golfers from the 60's-90's used a more neutral grip. They weren’t the athletes that some of these modern pros are, who are able to generate centrifugal force with their body. For us mere mortals, it has to come from the hand and arm, which can only come from a neutral grip. Cheers Elliot on a very important lesson.
Really fantastic explanation, particularly the 'punch' analogy. I hadn't realized how strong my trail hand was getting. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this tips. Definitely will give it a try at the driving range.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant, I changed to a neutral grip last night and I was getting a extra 20mph on the driving range , + it felt more relaxed, it works , thank you so much
I am struggeling with contact and i go stronger and stronger with both hands, was senseless. I will try asap! Thank you!
I've been working on this lately. It kind of gives me the yipps because it feels so foreign to me , but I think I'm on the right track.
It may seem strange and look to upper lead arm being internally rotated and below elbow externally rotated at set up. This does not mean locked or super tense. This will help it feel less alien in hands I wager
Great video and I have really been struggling with my strong grip.
Worked for me. I am left handed. Only thing I do right handed is play golf. My natural ball fight is a draw. I get into trouble when I start drawing it to much with over active hands. Making my grip much more neutral increased my ball flight, better dispersion, gained some distance and my GHIN index has dropped from around 3.5 down to 0.9
Been fight a snap hook and shank for a while,will give this a go.
I have recently adopted the neutral grip, and I'm hitting the ball much better. Only downside, is club coming loose in the swing from trailing arm...2405
the REAL reason which i thought he would allude to, is that a strong grip allows you to have a bad swing path(over the top, out to in) you need to be able to hit a draw and fade from a weak or neutral grip to work out your ACTUAL swing faults. most people disagreeing and getting mad, your swing path is a super out to in a neutral grip will make you slice it off the planet. everyone hooking it out will help. also if club is in your palm instead of your fingers you're also in trouble. I'm not saying strong grip isn't an option I'm saying try neutral grip and work on your OTT swing path until you can hit a draw, then when your path is better grip however or makes you better.
Tell me whatever you want, but I'm playing the best golf in a while from using a strong grip. Bye-bye blocks!
Same here, have a new PR for 370 yards off the tee… what every teacher has gotten wrong about strong grip, they think the trail hand is supposed to be underneath the grip. WRONG! Trail hand is supposed to be neutral! Strong grip is supposed to not cause any twisting or bowing into impact… that’s why the best players use it, as well as it loads and releases the club much more powerful than any other grip. Everything he’s says about strong grip has been completely pulled apart and proven wrong. I cured my slice with a strong grip, yet this guy is saying strong causes a slice 😂It means he’s not gripping the club in a strong enough position with the lead. Funny how ppl like us have to teach a teacher lol. I’ve seen more people injure themselves by swinging neutral or weak… specially Bryson Dechambeau injuring his wrists seriously using a weak grip.
Thanks man…. That is all. Short and SIMPLE.
I was literally about to message you about this 😂 Surely we all need a coach who posts fixes before we even ask? 🎉
That’s great lol! Hope this helps clarify the thoughts and how tho tackle it! 💪🏌🏽
I am going to love trying this drill as I hook the ball let’s see what happens 🎉🎉🎉
In to out, out to in, make up our mind!
I needed this explanation!!
every coaches let me change to stronger grip from neutral. I feel more confident until I watched this video. Strong grip is really uncomfortable when I swing and hinge the club , furthermore I have to learn the “shallow “to force my arm can return the set position.
marvelous advice thanks again
How was Moe Norman’s grip? If you hold a hammer and you want to hit the nail down you swing down. If you want to hit the nail in the direction you want it to go you need to turn the handle. If you swing down you’re going it go over the top.
I don`t have a strong grip, but I was told I need to have the grip more in my fingers, I guess I am a little to much palm, so that is my task this year, let the club lay more in my fingers.
That will help a lot! 👌👍🏌🏽
It's depends on the golfer really
Yes but more fall into categories they don’t realize
This gets somewhat confusing as there are some fairly famous you tube instructors who actually promote a very strong grip? In fact, one repeatedly states that 150 out of the top 200 professional golfers have a very strong grip? You all make a very strong and believable case for your thoughts on the grip but who is one to believe??
So basically our ideal grip is one in which if we were hammering down it feels the most natural?
Yep
Brillant!
This is BS.
From bad to worse - congratulations
Well, I have to say there was nothing simple about that video to follow all those steps. I’d be turning my swinging inside out. Not saying you’re not right, but I am saying it would take me a whole off-season to implement after using a strong grip for so long.
If I may, that statement is a belief. If you believe you can’t do it, you won’t. The question should be, how do you learn this (if appropriate for you) in the shortest possible time and in a way that allows you to play this season. Again, not meant in any way to patronise, just highlighting a way of thinking that might help get better outcomes
@@chrisrainger6578 well you are correct that commitment is key to success in a swing change but taking a swing change like this to the course and expecting immediate success is highly unlikely. Committing to a change like this is neither immediate or simple which is alluded to in the video by recognizing some of the pitfalls (“it will go right or pull left”). A grip change, as mentioned, sets up so many other swing changes that it must be implemented gradually with practice to achieve the desired result, something I would prefer to do in the off season
Well said indeed 🏌🏽💪
It’s simple in that it’s understandable and can be applied. I didn’t claim it was an instant “fix” but more highlighting a hidden cause of why waaay to many golfers struggle. 👍🏌🏽
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Ok --- I'll give you that one! 🤣
Enjoy the videos, keep them coming
Mate, you need to redo this whole video on strong grip, and quickly… you got literally everything wrong about strong grip… including how to grip a strong grip. You owe all the golfers you mislead with this video. Strong lead hand and neutral trail. The whole visual of the hammer is so idiotically wrong, and you proved a point against yourself… hitting the hammer down proves what happens when you point the hammer face towards your target… look at your wrists now… it’s exactly a strong grip! lol, you can’t be wrong by accident, I’m sensing nefarious reasons… the phrase as well, lower loft means lost distance. It’s the opposite mate!!! Lower loft means MORE distance because the ball has less spin which gives massive gains in distance. More loft means less distance. Where are you getting your information from?!
