Your grip is what determines the relationship between you and the club. If we understand our grip we can understand when the club is straight.

Let me help you get an effortless golfswing with speed and accuracy. I call it the circle of speed. A good release will help you to a better impact and longer drives and irons without slice and hook. How to swing a golf club need to be adjusted to your skill level and experience.
Long and straight is the goal for everyone but it takes time. Try to focus on one thing not everything when you practise. Impact, face control and swingpath will always be the most important part to drill. We focus too much on rotation but no good golf shot will be executed just by rotating.
I’m naturally right handed but all my tips works for both left handed and right handed golfers.
We also need to understand that many myths in golf are misleading. Everything that you find on the internet isn’t true. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead are two of the legends that are often misunderstood. To understand golf we need to take it step by step and learn every part of the swing before we move on to the next. It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle that we all can figure out.
Some pro’s that hit draw: Rory McIroy, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Reed, Sepp Straka and many, many more.
We shall not keep our head still, only start with the hips, look only at the ball or keep the left or right arm straight. Understand what do do with the club and let your body find the best way possible.
If you use callaway, ping, titleist or taylor made clubs doesn’t matter you can learn to hit good golf shots. Your loft or your shaft on the club will not change but you can always get better.
Find what inspires you. Golf basics are the same for everyone. The pga tour, longdrivers or other good golfers can all help you find better golf shots. Watch what they do instead of listed to what they say. Listen mostly to your body and figure out what you need to do to produce the same results as the pros on TV. Be careful when you watch a golf swing in slow motion. The result isn’t always what the golfer is trying to do. Feel and real are seldom the same.
Mike Malaska, Mike Austin, Mike Dunaway, Pete Cowen and Steve Pratt are some of my favorite golf instructors online. Find the tips that make your golf better. Decide what you want to hit. I teach a draw but many like a fade and nobody likes a hook or slice.
Your hips or your lag is not the key to golf. Your hands will decide the shot and you can do like Tiger Woods and trust your hands. Teach your hands to hit different shots. Hit big hooks and slices to understand what happens. Only straight is not gonna teach you anything.
Bryson Dechambeu and Kyle Birkshire can inspire you to hit it longer. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson can give you inspiration and motivation to test new things and new golf shots. Linn Grant, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can show you the future of golf.
The Masters, Players Championship, The Players, The Open and US Open can make you love golf even more. See the best in the world solve all the problems we all need to master any golf course. Golf is a craft and you need fantasy, feel and skills to master it.

The grip is the first step among a few in the golf swing so it has to be right
But what is right…I play with a neutral grip because if I want to move the ball one way or another for me neutral…it works
But the strong grip for others also hit the draw shot with a preset grip…it works
Nothing wrong with preset hands to hit the shape that’s at least 50% what we wanted …it is golf 50% not bad
But the neutral grip I will admit is preset also … to palm it straight
It works
Great subject matter
Gidday my friend.
Working on my grip at the moment – too strong. And, getting a sore left wrist.
Thanks for this tip and reminder to push and not pull. 👍

4m is 13ft. 4 yds is 12 ft. That's a full 12" or 30cm difference 😂
Keep on keeping on buddy. Have a great week.
Hi Marcus, I love your videos, your explanation are so logic and they help me a lot to understand what I’m doing while playing golf. Thank you !
Thank you, Marcus. I had a birdie and an eagle today.
You are spot on. As I continue to struggle with my game, as soon as hit the ball with a change in my grip, I can feel it travel left or right…..immediately. It's actually good to experiment with this as it will help you 'center' your grip and then hit a straight shot.
Really like the “slap the ball” and “palm power” thoughts. I feel like I hit with my left hand even more than my left arm. Is that wrong? I had a teach once who kept telling me to “slap it! Slap the ball!”
Interested subject.
I find with a weak lefthand, top hand, I flip the club with snap hooks and lots of toe hits. My solution is to keep the strong lefthand grip and weakened my right hand grip. For me, a weak lefthand is a complete no go, I almost can't hit the ball. Not sure whether it is just the way body is structured that I can't hit the ball that way. It's created a lot of frustration with that horrible left shot.
It is hard to feel because the hand is closed not open. Understanding grip as you say is the key.
When you slightly raise up and hover the clubhead off the ground does your front wrist relax so that there is basically a straight line from right shoulder to clubhead? I was trying this today and hit really well. It occurred to me that this is common is single plane swings. I don’t know that you are trying for that at least I’ve never heard you say it just curious if that is what’s happening. Thank you. Great teaching!!
I have a strong grip…. I will try this next time…. time to spank the ball!
I like to practice with a flat putter grip. It´s very unnatural to use a strong or week grip with a putter grip.
Love this! I have changed my lead hand grip a number of times depending on my misses, but I always have the trail hand as you say so I can use the palm to feel like I slap the ball. Excellent in combination with your video of how to ensure you dont miss right and left.👍
I have a pretty strong grip and my left wrist gets a little sore when I really try to put some zip on it. I can hit it fairly straight, but, I might try neutralizing it a bit.
Thanks coach!
