Gave this a go yesterday on course. Had to hit a soft high pitch shot off a tightly mown collection area green side. Was a weird setup because it was wet and could have easily chunked it even though it would normally be very firm there. I had played with this a little the day this video came out and decided to give it a try. Opened up the clubface to activate the bounce, applied this grip, and it perfectly bruised the turf without digging at all. Ball went up, one hopped and stopped on about a 15 yard pitch leaving 3 feet for a par putt. It was the shot I needed, there was too much slope in front for a bump and run and anything short would have come right back. Great tip!
A++++ tip. I watched this video 10 minutes ago then I went to my front yard and tried it with my 54*8* bounce and I hit ten shots and everyone was close to perfect!!! I love the tips that actually work!!!
Steve, this Hoviland grip is a brilliant tip. I have been having problems with chips for a while, but today I employed this grip change and relaxed my body and went 8 out of 8 chips within three feet on my round. Your teaching style always works for me. Thank you! Dan, Lincoln, California.
I love this tip! A few months ago I strengthened my grip for all shots. Both the left and right hand. First time out with this, on the first hole at my home course, I had a short pitch over a bunker and decided to weaken my right hand but leave the left hand strong. It just felt right. It was a blind shot but I heard the ball hit the pin. It went in! Next hole, I was faced with a similar shot but with no bunker. Same grip. Same result! This time I got to see it go in. Back to back chip-ins! That was cool! But I thought the grip and results were just a fluke. Did not know it was an actual technique. Now I know why it works and will utilize this. Thank you Steve.. and Viktor!
My friends noticed the changes in my swing today and ball striking impressed them. I told them I was an advocate of Eureka golf swing giving you the plaudits for my improvements made. I would imagine this would be positive feedback so you are informed of this action. I will work on them to join your channel on u-tube to spread the word of your ability to engage with golfers
Totally underrated channel and teacher. Common sense, easy to understand. I use your drills helping a lot of the oldies at my home club. Just getting them to make an easy consistent swing without the bullshit. Keep up the great work.
And here I thought I invented something. Very good information. I experimented with different set ups with minimal success until one day I stumbled into this grip purely by accident. I now use for all my clubs.
Not exaggerating when I say this tip was golf life changing. After years of fighting the leading edge I can't believe how simple and effective this tip works. It's like a huge weight is off of me around the greens now. Thank you so much!!
Steve! I was having a very hard time chipping. Thinning and hitting fat. I used this tip and I was chipping like a pro today!!! This WORKS! 56* and 52* have 10* of bounce
Hi Steve I have just come in from the garden after thinking about this method I decided to try left hand weak and right hand strong to my amazement it worked a dream. Your method also worked but I found the other way more comfortable. Give my way ago and see what you think. Thanks again Steve from Geordie Tim.
Three rounds since English golf has returned, this has been a revelation! It just works, few little practice swings to get the speed and ground contact worked out and boom! Holed out for birdie with a twitchy little lob wedge from 20 ft being the best result. Works all the way up to 50 yard pitches so far for me
Hi Steve, I used to be amazing with my shortgame and am really bad lately, fatting and thinning anything from 50yards in. This video reminded me that a change I made was that I had this exact grip with all my shots and had a major fading problem, but that was the time my shortgame was good. I changed my grip to more neutral with a weaker left hand and stronger right hand... I can't wait to go and do this with my shortgame and see if FINALLY this was the reason I lost my confidence.
Smart tip. I also like the added notion off chipping with higher hands so that the heel of the club is a tiny bit off the ground. This deliberate toe strike has greatly improved my consistency. Thanks Steve for the fine videos.
Tried this at the range today..what a difference in flight and control..a real gamechanger. I had always focused on having a weak left grip for short approach shots..not any more. Thanks Steve!
Another gem of a tip. Clearly explained and demonstrated. I have tried it and found it to be highly effective. Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? Thanks a million Steve.
@@johnmartin4332 all depends what type of shot you are playing? Open the face up for a cut up shot but you still use the bounce John. Just practice in your back garden if you have a lawn to feel the bounce working on the back edge, Steve explains the bounce in the video 👍
@@peterlund6495 thanks for the quick response. I've been opening the face slightly for normal pitches to engage bounce, but this method sounds easier. Again thanks
Nice little pearl of wisdom there Steve, butterfly grip for chipping and pitching. Only 17 days until we can get back on the courses (which will be packed to the brim).
Hi Steve, In my opinion this must be one of your best ever videos ... can’t wait to give it a go .... I just know it will work for me! Best wishes Bill
Steve, what a brilliant chipping video. I have never thought of changing my grip for chipping. I will be working on this now. Thank you very much sir👍👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦
I have always gone extremely weak with both hands (and leave a lot of chips/pitches short). Cannot wait to try this approach and see if it is for me! Thanks!
Totally agree with Nickm113 such great straightforward easy to take this info to the course, which i will be doing on the 29th...can't wait going to need lots more vids from you, keep going
Great video Steve, going to practice that on my back garden before our course opens up from lockdown. I drop too many shots from around the green so looking forward to using this tip. Cheers.
Thank man! I’ll try it tomorrow. Just know- I heard it from you. Not Leadbetter. I subscribe to your channel. Not Leadbetter’s. You may not get credit for creating it. But you get a big thanks for spreading the word!
I would argue that the exact opposite grip, weak Left-Hand Grip with grip also slightly in the Palm of the hand & slightly Strong Right-Hand Grip, gives you more repeatable face control than what you're demonstrating. This Bryson-esque Left-Hand Grip (and why he does it) is much better for consistently delivering the face back to the desired position at impact (also more like a putter grip), and the slightly stronger right grip, puts the wrist in position to deliver that little acceleration through impact that makes for great repeatable high spin contact

Steve Johnston is a brilliant instructor for all levels! Thank you Steve.
Great Lesson Steve! Love this! Can watch you chip and pitch all day! 😊👏
Such an underrated channel mate, love your straightforward approach with much less jump cuts in your videos than certain other TH-camrs

I ve been hitting perfect plastic balls into the kitchen just bruising the carpet with the bounce in the hallway. Best tip ever! Thanks
Jack Nicklaus said this in Golf My Way. It's a wonderful tip, and proven at the highest levels. Thanks Steve!
Tried this today, works really well. Find myself concentrating only on rhythm and not face of club. Top pro tip, thanks Steve

Even for for full swings?
This is why I watch your videos: New ways of thinking about the game of golf. Thanks, Steve! I'll be at the practice green.

Steve! I was having a very hard time chipping. Thinning and hitting fat. I used this tip and I was chipping like a pro today!!! This WORKS! 56* and 52* have 10* of bounce
Also good for bunkers too , saw Pete Cowan advocating this grip for sand play ...using the bounce
I have no idea why your channel is not bigger.
You’ve got a great way of explaining things.

I actually use that grip for short putts, 4 feet and less. It has helped me hole more short putts.
My short game is pathetic so I tried it this past weekend. Wow, it really works! Thanks Steve and Victor.
This change in my short game grip has drastically changed my short game strike and feel. Way better strike and feel. Brilliant!

Great video Steve Pete Cowen calls it his Butterfly grip and he knows a thing or two keep them coming cheers
I’ve been playing for 35 years. Never seen this. Thank you
Tried this... particularly turning right hand left (slightly of course!) and it does what Steve says!
This grip is known as the butterfly grip. It does work. Thanks for sharing.
Smart tip. I also like the added notion off chipping with higher hands so that the heel of the club is a tiny bit off the ground. This deliberate toe strike has greatly improved my consistency. Thanks Steve for the fine videos.
Pete Cowen talks about this as well. mostly for bunker shots. Love it
Nice one, will give this a go..... Chilli dips and cocktails... brilliant!
Pete Cowan has been recommending that grip for bunker shots for years
Yep
Tried this at the range today..what a difference in flight and control..a real gamechanger. I had always focused on having a weak left grip for short approach shots..not any more. Thanks Steve!
Another gem of a tip. Clearly explained and demonstrated. I have tried it and found it to be highly effective. Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? Thanks a million Steve.
Love this. I tend to take small divots or some chunks☹️👏
I have always chipped that way and never even thought about it great video Steve 👏👏👏👏
Do you open the clubface before taking your grip? I plan to try it on short pitches
@@johnmartin4332 all depends what type of shot you are playing? Open the face up for a cut up shot but you still use the bounce John. Just practice in your back garden if you have a lawn to feel the bounce working on the back edge, Steve explains the bounce in the video 👍
@@peterlund6495 thanks for the quick response. I've been opening the face slightly for normal pitches to engage bounce, but this method sounds easier. Again thanks
@@johnmartin4332 normal shots John just square the face up and engage that bounce the more you practise you will get that feeling
Nice little pearl of wisdom there Steve, butterfly grip for chipping and pitching. Only 17 days until we can get back on the courses (which will be packed to the brim).
Thanks for the tip,been struggling with short pitches and chips😎
Great Teaching video. Thanks i have also tried to open the face or twist the club to get the ball to fly higher and stop quicker.
Hi Steve
This tip is brilliant. Used on the course yesterday, chipped in for birdie on a par three.
Enjoy your videos!
Thanks again,
Victor
I'll definitely give this a try, my short game is good but allways looking to be better
You have the most entertaining tips in the internet!!!
Steve. You make it look easy, well done.
Can't wait to bounce to the Club on March 29. Clive
You always give me a chuckle along with great advice. Thank you very much.
Wonderful tip! Used it last round. Never better in the short game
Thanks Steve. Brilliant instruction as per usual.
Never heard that one before. Superb big yin 🏴☘️🇨🇮👍
This is the best tip ever .
Thankyou Steve. I am off to check how much bounce I have on my wedges.
Great tip. Leadbetter calls this the butterfly grip used in his A swing.
Hi Steve,
In my opinion this must be one of your best ever videos ... can’t wait to give it a go .... I just know it will work for me!
Best wishes
Bill
Tried it tonight it is brilliant .
Excellent video! Another month and I will be on the practice range.
Marvellous Steve, can't wait to try that out.
Great video, very informative, will go out and try it.
I will try this once my club opens,can't wait.
Nice explanation of the grip for proper bounce, which is what I struggle the most with. And the reason why I don't use my wedges very much ⛳⛳🤙👍👊
Can not wait to get to the course to try this .... sounds like a good thing ...
Thanks
Brilliant tip! Thanks Steve. Going to try that in my back garden this week
"Golf my way" by Jack Nicklaus described this. I suggest catching more tips within that video.
Seems so easy when you do it Steve, will try this as this is the worst bit of my game. Thanks.
golfing today, will utilize this tip.. what is there to lose... not chipping good now, why not try it, it looks so simple.
Steve, what a brilliant chipping video. I have never thought of changing my grip for chipping. I will be working on this now. Thank you very much sir👍👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦
Excellent as always from Steve, and that’s why I keep coming here for any new upload, and leave with a 😀
Very good tip I have been looking at ways to improve my short chips- many thanks.
Just read this tip in a recent Golf Digest article featuring Victor Hovland. Great to see a video on this approach.
Great stuff Steve,
Cheers Stephen
that was a great tip cause i have trouble chipping with my wedges
Tried that grip tonight at the range brilliant feeling when striking the ball hope it works just as well off the grass cheers 10/10
Great tip and good to see a local pro 👍
Great tip Steve. Trying that this weekend.
I must try this. I haven't tried the left-hand-to-lef- pocket yet too! You do give a lot of homework!
Can’t wait to try. Another tip that’s going into the bag my next time out
Thanks Steve, great tip.
I have always gone extremely weak with both hands (and leave a lot of chips/pitches short). Cannot wait to try this approach and see if it is for me! Thanks!
Totally agree with Nickm113 such great straightforward easy to take this info to the course, which i will be doing on the 29th...can't wait going to need lots more vids from you, keep going
Your tips are always spot on - keep up the great work
Steve, this is brilliant ! Can't wait to try it.
Nice one will give it a try! Thanks.
Great video Steve cant wait to try it thanks.
Thanks Steve! I give it a go today!
Another thing to try, thanks Steve.
Great tip Steve tried it on my fake grass can’t wait to try it on the course. Nothing looks worse than a chunky chip shot that travels a few feet.
Do a bit of chipping in my back garden-tried this it seems to work !
Great video Steve can’t wait give this a go. 👍
This tip really works, some refer to it as butterfly grip. 🦋
Amazing. Will try out.
Can’t wait to try this! Could use all of the help I can get.
I’ll be trying this tomorrow
Great video Steve, going to practice that on my back garden before our course opens up from lockdown. I drop too many shots from around the green so looking forward to using this tip. Cheers.
Great video .some call this the Butterfly grip.
Great video, butterfly hands.
Ah the butterfly grip, great to keep loft on club!! Works v well
You’re sooo good and funny.... great video
Am trying this as am watching . mate you might be on to something here am gonna use it on Saturday 👍👍🏴
Thank man! I’ll try it tomorrow. Just know- I heard it from you. Not Leadbetter. I subscribe to your channel. Not Leadbetter’s. You may not get credit for creating it. But you get a big thanks for spreading the word!
Great tip I tend to be a digger when chipping ! ive just tried this and it works!
So simple. It works
You got that magic touch Steve ..
Simple and brilliant.
Butterfly grip that Pete Cowen recommends for bunker play
Cheers
