Don’t hurt yourself now so look who’s back now I’ve always been jealous of this one’s swing and it’s only getting better every day I have to catch up I just had this amazing breakthrough last Sunday copying this girl’s grip and I figured how to instill
The right task to benefit from that grip and I can’t wait to show you it gave me 15 more yards throughout the bag my blade seven iron which is at 172 is now 185 stock less effort and my swing looks more compact on top of that yeah and now
I’m over 300 yards carry with the driver and I’ll because of her it was a good good move I made there so before we get into the juicy details please take the SUBSCRIBE! time to subscribe to the channel and
Take the time to comment or question down below when we’re done give us a nice thumbs up it really we we we would love to get that help in the channel we really appreciate it so without further How the lead hand setups with a
Strong grip for your golf swing Ado notice I have uh this was set up by a student of mine and here’s what I feel as a lefty because I my left-handed swing has been two to three miles an hour faster than my right-handed swing
Lately and I also have to have a slightly stronger grip from the left-handed side and we’ve been talking about how a kinetic chain from a human being you can’t push on a chain and my dominant hand is my right hand and I had
A tendency so consciously to push a little too much with my trail hand so going and taking a page out of Savannah’s book I get into a position here with my lead arm and this is is what it feels like when I want to tag a
Nail so I’m going to tag that nail through the door frame here and notice how strong that grip needs to be let me show you something that’s really going to wake you up as far as strong grips are concerned by the way 150 out of the
200 top players in the world have a strong grip so it’s worth listening to so if I’m going to hammer down notice how the bones of my forearm the radius and ulna are stacked on on top of each other for
Compression now when I want to go that way I’m not going to turn the hammer this way with my neutral grip and try to hammer the nail like this imagine I had to go back and Hammer that first nail now see how crazy that looks so this is
Not the strongest and most efficient position to be in to really compress so now I turn it this way and now it feels feels like I can really tag it so what I did is I reverse engineered that and turned it over
Right-handed so I got my hammer right hand did the same thing so if I put the club in my hands now and what I’m trying to do is I am imagine that I’m going to hit this shot with just my lead arm on it and where would I need to be with the
Grip in order to feel like I can square up the club without the help of my trail hand so if start to neutral and the Hand leads that’s way too open now I’m going to have to bow the wrist now I’m going to have to do a little body English to
Get this sucker to really square up whereas if I start in a position here where all I got to do is just let it fall now it feels like it can square up on its own have a look at Sav real quick Sav
Notice with that lead hand right now you How Sav setups with a strong grip for her golf swing could easily square up the club this is how Sav needs to be there’s her grip now put the other hand
On and that’s why you see that the hands you got a forward shaft lean here in our setup because it’s exactly the same thing as if you take a hammer here you do it right now get ready to hammer that
Way yes notice when you get ready to hammer this way the hand leads the hammer so if you’re going to hammer down this way the hand would lead the hammer y now when you go that way it’s doing the same thing right yeah fantastic so
When you deliver with weight so I’m using the weight of my arm Hammer unit to deliver so now if I do it this way from my left-handed swing that feels like I can really tag it so I do the same thing right-handed get in there
And now it feels like I’m really using momentum to pound through it feels a little more Awkward because it’s not my dominant hand but man is it effective so watch us hit a few shots right now you’ll see what I
Mean so sa’s got a six iron here at 185 and look at that perfect little thin on that one and you hit that thin yeah so imagine that a six iron that was carrying 180 and that was thin yeah very cool there oh
Yeah now you’re talking look at that had to close the face a bit just close the face a little more that was compressed that was almost 200 yards so you carried that one 187 right now you had crept up to my
Distance he yeah and I am now feeling like I can breathe a little easier now so this is my blade seven iron that I used to my stock distance with this was 172 okay so now I’m taking that super strong grip of yours and I’m feeling
Like I’m going to be able to square it up with just that lead hand and I put the trail hand on now I’m going to do is feel the weight of my arm Hammer unit and deliver through with the heft of that
Hammer and look at that so I’ll uh I’ll hit a second one too there Sav all right 183 carry and that was a little thin mhm seven iron yeah like I’m blown away because that was my beefier seven iron from last year
Because technically you should be a club longer than me well okay Jesus now you put it now you brought me back to earth right so I’m feeling the weight of that arm Hammer unit I’m going to give it a little bit of
A see that momentum that I’m using now I’m feeling the weight of that arm Hammer unit I’m going to use that and look at that a shot look at that right yeah let’s see what we got with the Sav demonstrates her driver swing with the strong grip driver
Oo look at this one stretch out oh my goodness Sav holy do holy look at that man I got to chase that that’s crazy this 293 carry that was absolutely gorgeous don’t hurt yourself now so Savannah says don’t hurt yourself trying to chase after that one I’m going
To try my best to maintain my composure Shawn demonstrates the performance of the strong grip here and just use momentum to deliver my task in that direction C I’m going to hit a little fade down the left side and bring it back to that Center Line here we
Go that’s good yeah that’s real good yeah you got me oh man as you should though what’s sap That’s so exciting your swing is a lot more assertive now isn’t it yeah like that was 313 carry I can’t remember the last time I did that
On even on these machines I know and you’ve been consistently doing that the past we week and a bit so like I’m super thrilled and I hope that that analogy really helps you Shawn completes the golf lesson out for all of you who tend to force with that trail hand it’s actually
Sabotaging your swing because you get up here and you force it all you’re doing is imploding the the accordion but if you keep the the focus here on that lead arm with that like that hammer gather and feel like the kinetic chain is pulling this through and you’re not
Pushing and sabotaging with that trail hand Magic’s going to happen and stay tuned we’re going to have a nice little series on that on our premium channel to really help you out wisdom in golf premium.com so stay tuned with that and I can’t wait it’s so exciting

Zalatoris swing looks like he uses his lower body much more now.
Great stuff! I want some of these extra yards 😛
Love it as always 👏👏
Not sure if you've touched on this, but do you have any issue with a 10 finger grip (even if I'm someone built pretty large similar to Mu)? I'm a former baseball player so it feels super natural to me, but I know most common golf instruction always suggests against this.
Is your stance a little closed? I’m going to try this grip, because I’m left handed playing from the right side.
Sav is still pound for pound swing queen. Great video as always
183 with blade 7 iron. That is amazing❗😮 Cant wait to see that series on premium channel 👍😀
Shawn, watch a few Bobby Jones videos. He said he got in trouble when his right hand became active in his swing. So you just revisited the secret of the great master.
I do love that you walk your talk.
Hey Shawn, I have switched to this grip recently and find that it just feels right… however, I can’t seem to open the face enough to hit fades any more. Could you help me if I’ve gotten used to hitting draws and now can’t “see” how to hit the fades? It feels like my grip, stance, ball position, and use of momentum are all jacked up and uncomfortable over the ball for the fade. Do any of your students experience this problem? And best suggestions on how to fix? Much love!
How strong was your grip while playing fade with the Driver
Been watching you for years,I'm sure you've shown the hammer style grip before,used it last year and gained at least 20 yards on wedges to 5 and hybrid, not so much with 3 wood and driver but shots are more consistent.
