I play to a 14 handicap been really struggling this year and gone up to 16 my highest ever I’ve never had a lesson I’ve followed this and played today and struck the ball better than I have all year great tip Dave !!
For a very beginner, this is the very best grip video on the whole interwebs. Great breakdown of both hands. I've watched several videos where they tell me what to do but none has been this good with showing me. Thanks a ton.
That is the grip I used to have, but by watching so many "How to stop your slice" videos that dealt with grip I changed it and have been sooo inconsistent off the tee this year. Definitely going back to my old grip. Thanks Dave!!!!!!
So glad to have you back with your advice Dave. Looking forward to your weekly vlog showing how to do things properly. Liam should take note of all you are saying .
Good video and great idea to have a series of 10 min vlogs. Only minor suggestion this one needed Shot Tracer to show the right/left or slice/hook sample shots
Great video, really simple to follow advice without putting to much info to think about, fantastic for people trying to improve, really looking forward to the rest of the videos, cheers Dave
The best tutorial on grip that I've seen (and I've watched a lot of vids). This is going to be a great series with Dave the Pro. Looking forward to more. Now I've got to go try this as I've tried a lot of grip positions lately.
Reading Ben Hogans 5 lessons book, the first lesson in the book is this grip, its nice to see it simply explained in a video as well. it takes time to get used to, but when it’s right, a drive down the middle as a 19 handicapper is brilliant to see and it’s amazing how the top thumb in the wrong position can affect the shot.
Just want you to know Dave that you are really appreciated, as are you Liam for the channel. Your instruction and tips will have me playing better in no time. I love the 2 minute practiced drill. I can't wait for next week's lesson.
This video changed my game. I had grip correctly in fingers, but thumb long and wrong, for 15 years. Driver went a banana slice - 210y long and 150y left. I'd given up and just been playing it, lining up to start it waaay right. Or more often just leaving woods in bag and going WOTP. Dave the Rave pointed out the "short thumb" and the💡went on. 1 range session later, and I've now played 2 rounds and hit 18(!!!) 250y straight drives. 2 bad'uns, 1 per round. Unbelievable. Missed most greens because mid-short irons and wedges now have a little draw on instead of slice. My buddies are even more surprised - couple new subs for you Liam haha. Crazy frustrating that's it's something so small, but thanks so much Dave!!! Seriously, I'm a totally different golfer and excited to relearn how to aim for my new ball flights.
Sliced for years, played a new course yesterday and a bit nervous about how many balls I will lose! Used this method and the best I have hit the ball ever!!! So simple thank you worked a treat
The kettle idea is good for those who don't have pets or small children! Or a Kitchen big enough. Lol. I watched a great coaching vid with Monty recently, and he went into a bit of detail about the pressure in the grip, at address and throughout the swing. It was saying how important grip pressure is to forearm tension I think. Well worth a scan. Oh ye and great vid Dave.
Dave, My Local Pro has made me turn my left hand round more nearly showing 2/ 3 Knuckles as I had a problem om coming over the Top and not Compressing the ball enough! I have had to change my swing path to more in to in to stop this. he placed 3 balls on an angle and I have to hit the middle ball... If I go wrong and come over the Top I would hit the left hand ball and visa versa!! It has gained me distance and a better shot but kills my arm having to grip my left hand so far round!!! Love your video's and rate you very highly! All the Best Nik Bird. West Sussex.
This is great tip Dave I have been playing around with my grip and been hitting pulls and slices . I never realised the relationship of long and short thumb know I have a uniform grip again you can’t improve it just wrong and correct once again great drill saveing all these videos to my library missed your tips on golfmates my more please Luv Baz
I remember starting golf in the mid 70s and had a hookers grip, an old guy who played off a low handicap told me to change it, took 6 months of beating balls to get it right, great tip for beginners and even players who've stuck with the wrong grip their whole life, 👍
What an awesome video Golf Mates. Dave the Pro does an awesome job of explaining what are he is trying to teach us. This program looks absolutely brilliant👍👍👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦
Love this simple to the point no great coaching more please thank you

Love it, can listen to Dave all day long. Not picked up a club for 20 years but will be doing soon.
Looking forward to the follow up videos.
Thanks Dave.... i never knew about the short thumb..... Tried it and found a lot less pressure in the hands..... Thanks.
Great video Dave I’m off to put the kettle on 🏌️♂️
Thanks for the help, also got a new driver so that’s also helped, hitting much better shots now

Short thumb. Thnx Dave, good to see you back.
Thank you

Thanks dave 👍
What you would think is a very basic thing can really turn it ugly when you get it wrong. Great tips there Dave.
The dispersion between the slice and hook just with the change of grip was incredible.
Nice one Dave 👍
Nice. Looking forward to this
The kettle idea is good for those who don't have pets or small children! Or a Kitchen big enough. Lol.

Yeah don’t go left... and enjoy it... take a pic and send it to me
Great advice! You’ve made me realise I have become too weak in my grip Dave. Have been wondering why I’m pushing and slicing most shots 🙄
Dave, My Local Pro has made me turn my left hand round more nearly showing 2/ 3 Knuckles as I had a problem om coming over the Top and not Compressing the ball enough! I have had to change my swing path to more in to in to stop this. he placed 3 balls on an angle and I have to hit the middle ball...

I can't be the only one who hit's the like before the video starts. Where's the love?. Dave the rave makes it look easy.
