This might be the one thing that helps me. I won't find out 'til weekend, but I know I definitely rotate my right arm over when I grip it, and I'm very prone to the 'wafter' off to the right. Thanks in advance!
If you are a high handy cap like me this is the most important video to watch after a round yesterday I had the best day of my life drives long and straight irons strikes was the best I have hit. For me to play 4 over golf is a very good day Thank you
This might have legitimately fixed my swing. I’m an ex baseball player with a chicken wing slice tendency. Just drastically changing my grip like this forces me to keep my trail elbow close to my body. Just tried it out on my square golf and I’m finally drawing for the first time in my life 🤯 thanks so much for this! Gonna go practice more
Thanks Coach Lockey, I like this Preswing thought! I think I have been overdoing the idea of straight arms to the point where I was not getting my right arm in the underneath position and this video clarifies what I think I have been doing wrong. I like the point you made about having the left arm above when looking at your swing from behind. In looking at my swing, I could see both arms in the same position, and then causing me to come over the top. Keep the content coming, cheers from Virginia where it is too cold to play golf right now!
Love this "feel" tip. I've used it with several of my players and translates well. Those of us in the PGA or even better players understand "feel" and "real" are two different things. However we are humans and so we need to understand the feel to create the real SHOT. Great content my friend.👍
Yes, my coach did this to me in the autumn and, odd as it felt, I've drawn the ball ever since. I found that an exercise band round the torso, with an arm sized loop around the right arm, helped to cement the feeling while practising too. That's a great tip Matt and, what amazes me is, in nearly 56 years playing the game, no-one had told me this before!!! It works...brilliantly!!! Nuff said!
Subscribed just because of this video. I find that when my shots are struggling I use this information to get me back into what my instructor tried to ingrain in my set up. What was a huge slice is no more. Now got the draws and my miss hits are hooks or laser straight pushes out right. But I know everything starts with my set up.
Thanks CL. A very timely reminder. My trail hand has moved into that stronger and I love the consistent ball strike and r to l ball flight. Cheers from Sunshine Coast, Australia.
i was studying pro swings and noticed dechambeau does a very strong version of this so next time im at the sim i intended to implement this in my practice. great tip.
this is exactly what iv`e been working into my swing during the winter months with a lateral hip bump at transition and keeping the clubface square to the plane ,so less is definitely ...more ,it feels so much more consistent than ever !👍 great vid 😇
A great reminder of something that I have heard before, but unfortunately, I do not always remember to apply. I need to smarten up my set-up process so that I can repeat it every time without thinking.
Hello Coach. New to the channel. I'm a 7.2 and have been a fader all of my life. Couldn't hit a draw if my life depended on it. But I found Hank Haney's video on fixing a slice in 3 swings. His drill has rerouted my path dramatically. I even drop my trail foot back an inch or so to allow what feels like more to come from the inside. Haven't tried your tip yet but I love the thought process it puts me into. But what I'm seeing from Haney's drill is a pull resulting in missing my target left. The ball isn't snap-hooking. It's mostly straight with the occasional draw but missing left. What's causing that pull?
I’ve always wondered about the position of my trail arm. Will try this tomorrow and hopefully this help will clear up my horrible slice from my driver. Cheers Coach.
Unknowingly, doing this very thing took the slice out of my driver. I know it seems counterintuitive to how a grip is normally taught - with the creases of you thumbs pointed up to your shoulders. But I started taking my lead hand and gripping the club as usual, but then coming up from below the club with my trail hand grip. It surprised me that my drives suddenly went dead straight. So I guess I accidently fell right into your tip!
I’ve gone from a driver slice and straight flight on my irons to a straight driver and pull my irons left. The irons don’t have huge hooking flights, the flight is ok but they come off the face to the left. I’m not really sure what I did, but it is very annoying because I lost my ability to have a decent approach shot and I’m missing every green
I’m gonna give it a go tomorrow my man…. Got a comp and will try this will let you know…..I hold a 4 handicap but sometimes struggle still with inconsistent shots… I’m probably the worse 4 handicap out there on an easy course 😂😂😂
I'm always pulling my shots. My shoulders are open to the target and I come over the top. ....will this new position with the trail arm position correct this?
I have told people this 100s of times-it's all about the correct grip.The wedge of your right thumb and pointer finger should point to the right shoulder. If you do this the elbow is tucked against the body and now just swing.
Thanks for the post. Looking forward to trying this approach. I already hit a draw with scoring and short irons. How does this, or does it, differ for long irons? The longer the club, the more fade (ie slice) I hit. Fore right!
I haven't hit a ball with this yet, but I have been walking around the house with a club. It feels strong. But it feels like I might sh*nk it a bit initially. I can't explain why.
Good video but what not to do and what to do with the left arm/hand was sort of conflated. It would be much easier to understand if you only instructed what exactly to do. Good video though but could be better.
@CoachLockey Yes, it's a work in progress. I was using the Paul Wilson body swing and I watch some others like Saguto but I still can't find consistency. I have a divot daddy matt and I can hit a few after the ball, then out of the blue hit a fat one 4" behind the ball with same stance and swing so it's becoming a real trying process. I used to be a scooper which I was fine at, but obviously the ball doesn't go far so that's why I'm changing my swing. Thanks for the kind advice.
🙃🙃 come-on what a load of talking horse shit to demonstrate a small issue of the golf swing. it takes more than that rubbish to produce a repeatable sustainable swing. I have been setting up my arms like that for years and it has not produced any good changes to my shots, so its not an answer to swing problems. all Fake instructions
![[ENG AUDIO/SUB] The start of golf, how to hold the right "grip"](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/B8PPbO-xYGg/mqdefault.jpg)
Finally…..someone who spends more time telling what to do rather most if the time explaining what we do wrong!!! Take a bow!
That is a common complaint of mine. I don’t need to be told over and over how to do it wrong. I want to know how to do it right.
Maybe after this advice, you mean "Take a bowl"?
As above so below 😂
SOOOO good - why isn’t this the first thing you’re taught as you learn🤯

Love it, nice work bruh
Best coach on YT in my opinion! Great advice, some welcome humor, and always positive and upbeat. Golf is supposed to be fun!

Really well explained
Great! Thank you. I'm going to try it out on the range tomorrow. This might be the key.

Thanks for taking the time to share this. Really appreciate it 👍
Tried this last week on the course and I struck the ball so much nore consistently. Thanks
Yes cupping my right hand keeps my right arm at my side through the swing. It seems to really help my control of the club.
Good stuff, ive found this tip really works, particularly with my driving.
Matty janner , one of your top instructions so far ! Well explained and simply described ! Well done mate ! Oh and its time for a course vlog !!!!
i was studying pro swings and noticed dechambeau does a very strong version of this so next time im at the sim i intended to implement this in my practice. great tip.
I was trying to do this and was managing it but must've went back to old set up till I seen this again tried yesterday ... well done lockey 😂
Definitely going to give this a try, wish someone had told me this sooner, I have now subscribed
this is exactly what iv`e been working into my swing
during the winter months with a lateral hip bump at
transition and keeping the clubface square to
the plane ,so less is definitely ...more ,it feels so
much more consistent than ever !👍 great vid 😇
This has worked very well for me - great thought
Being do this for a few years now, took a while to sort out my wrist and grip though. Totally changed my swing for the better once these felt normal
Every incremental piece of advice helps thanks
A great reminder of something that I have heard before, but unfortunately, I do not always remember to apply. I need to smarten up my set-up process so that I can repeat it every time without thinking.
excellent video Coach😊
Ive tried this and it works 👍👍
Good to hear 👌👌
Excellent tip Coach! This is a set up that I always use! Well Done Sir!!
Great breakdown of a simple concept! I love it and earned you a Sub!!
Awesome, thank you!
Been doing this a while now and it really works

What's causing that pull?
Never thought about this . Thanks great video .
Well done,,, precisely explained,,,
Thank you. The wrong way is exactly how I grip my club. This makes so much sense. Great video.
I’ve always wondered about the position of my trail arm. Will try this tomorrow and hopefully this help will clear up my horrible slice from my driver. Cheers Coach.
Good luck 👌
Update. This has worked for me. My big slice has seemed to all but disappeared. Also ball speed has moved up from 130 to 140. Cheers.
With time I forgot about this tip, will try tomorrow!
Lockey 🥳🥳🥳 thanks lad
Went out on the driving range after watching this morning and wow what a difference. The big test will be out on the course. Here's hoping. 🙂
The most difficult part of this is to maintain the “curl” and its feeling when starting the downswing. Any tips for this?
Once again, thank Mo
Wow, what a difference! Thx!
You bet!
😅enjoyed , simple instructions…. Subscribed
Love this
Excellent
Awesome! Thanks!
No worries!
This worked great!
Glad it helped!
Thanks, I’ll try that Saturday.
Guy Canada 🇨🇦
Dry food advise. Thank you. I will try it this week.

I’m not really sure what I did, but it is very annoying because I lost my ability to have a decent approach shot and I’m missing every green
Simple solution, aim more right with you rights if you keep missing left. Or you need a feeling to move path to the right more.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Great tip
Glad you think so!
I have used this method to improve my iron and fairway wood striking but now my driver is an over the top duck hook. Any suggestions?
Yes, that will do it!!
I’m gonna give it a go tomorrow my man…. Got a comp and will try this will let you know…..I hold a 4 handicap but sometimes struggle still with inconsistent shots… I’m probably the worse 4 handicap out there on an easy course 😂😂😂
Great!
Tried this yesterday and definitely increased my distances, but many of my drives were pulled left (not hooks just straight left). Any suggestions?
.
I'm always pulling my shots. My shoulders are open to the target and I come over the top. ....will this new position with the trail arm position correct this?
2:05 i feel attacked
I have told people this 100s of times-it's all about the correct grip.The wedge of your right thumb and pointer finger should point to the right shoulder. If you do this the elbow is tucked against the body and now just swing.
Thank you for the reminder about having the forearm point to the sky.
Wow didn't think about that.will defo try it.thanks
You’re welcome 😊 hope it works
Simple and easy to understand for a pre shot thought. The follow through and finish ain’t too shabby either. 🤙🏻
Good tip. I fight a hook so I will have to be careful with this.
Great vid. Sub 👍🏻
Great video. Thank you for getting right TO it!
So now I have to go to the range today = D
Nice! Thank you..:-)
Where does the left elbow point? Is the left arm similar to the right.
If you’re right handed. The more you twist your lead arm clockwise, more likely you are to close the clubface/draw
Thanks for the post. Looking forward to trying this approach.
I already hit a draw with scoring and short irons. How does this, or does it, differ for long irons? The longer the club, the more fade (ie slice) I hit.
Fore right!
Watch this 👍👍
th-cam.com/video/YU5Q1zKU4NA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d4HvwG57IZsy0EwJ
hold on I am a 72 year old off 6 and a fader used this tip,shot my age last week gross 72!
Just like Saguto golf has been saying for a long time!!
Classic Hogan
Knew this from Stack and Tilt. Standard there.
I like the camera angles to see the grip. I always struggle with the grip for certain shots.
Tom Suguto has been teaching this for the last year.
Good stuff 👍
Now my swing thought is about his bicep
I haven't hit a ball with this yet, but I have been walking around the house with a club. It feels strong. But it feels like I might sh*nk it a bit initially. I can't explain why.
So just what Porzak golf (on TH-cam) is teaching.
Are you watching that channel too buddy?
I dont follow no.
@@CoachLockey you should. He’s amazing. Let me know what you think of him.
coach lockey golf swing clean up with a bowl of soup
Great advice. Started playing again after many yrs now I know the answer to my slice 💡💡
Good video but what not to do and what to do with the left arm/hand was sort of conflated. It would be much easier to understand if you only instructed what exactly to do. Good video though but could be better.
High wafters…. I know them well 😂
Tried it. It doesn't work Why? Because the hand sets the elbow, not the elbow setting the hand.
Wait till you get a little older hair will appear on that part of your arm also
I’ll let you know when I’m that old 😂😉
Puberty.
I watched until the bicep flex at 2:15 and then got all hot and bothered and needed a lie down
😂
I tried this and I’m now hitting everything left?
Bit of shaft lean forward and you will be golden
Tried it, and hit it fat all the time.
Time to sort low point out. Ball position back, more of a shift towards target on downswing or push harder in the ground with lead foot 👍
@CoachLockey
Yes, it's a work in progress. I was using the Paul Wilson body swing and I watch some others like Saguto but I still can't find consistency. I have a divot daddy matt and I can hit a few after the ball, then out of the blue hit a fat one 4" behind the ball with same stance and swing so it's becoming a real trying process.
I used to be a scooper which I was fine at, but obviously the ball doesn't go far so that's why I'm changing my swing. Thanks for the kind advice.
Going to try this I swing to the left 99% of the time slice the driver and hit irons left so ya all over the place lol
Again, a video that could have been done in 60 seconds. We don't have all day to listen to you.
Thanks for the view
Only show us how to do it; repeat; repeat. Cut out the argy bargy, please.

I don’t say it solves everything 🤦♂️ good luck getting better. Sorry you aren’t very good 😂
Dang you are bitter!
Great lesson
