  1. Where is the thumb on your right hand? Left of center or center and on top of the shaft??

  2. Perfect timing! I Needed a brush up on grip pressure and finger placement, I've been having a wonky feeling in my grip. I do use the overlap.

  3. Older golfer here (69) … I play my age every time I go out … I usually get there by the 15th hole. Because of arthritis in the hands, I've been using the baseball grip. It's OK, but I'm sure I can do better (17 HCP). This lesson really helped me to visualize the overlap grip. I'm going to the indoor driving range this week. I'm going to work on this and see what happens. I'm pretty sure I can have a more stable grip. THANK YOU!!!

  4. I thought everyone said you hang on with the two middle fingers of the left hand and keep thumb and pointing finger light or loose?….

  5. WOW ! This is a GAME CHANGER ! 2 bad it’s being raining here N THE BAY AREA THIS WEEK ! I can’t wait 2 take these changes 2 the range ! Thanks man !

  6. Actually a really good video. I use the 10 finger group because it feels more comfortable for me but I wonder if it’s because I’m not gapping my fingers like you showed. We’ll see!

  7. Now this is the most valuable info I’ve heard in awhile. I’ve always assumed the right pinky goes right on top of the left index, and not in the gap. No wonder I’m so inconsistent.

  8. Love the video. No question with the tiny tweak with the Vardon grip. I agree with the glove hand technique. Brilliant! My only question regarding the Top Hand is the pressure you place with the Index finger and thumb. I was always under the impression that the Middle and Index fingers were the other two that were where "pressure" was placed. Second, do you have any comment on the new SuperSpeed Grip tool? A video would be great! Thanks and Happy New Year!

  9. Can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am to have discovered this channel. I’ve taken many lessons from various pros and none of them ever explained in detail the grip like you just did in this lesson. I can hardly wait to get to the driving range and try this out. Thank you

  10. Ben Hogan in his Five Rules says not to squeeze the index and the thumb but rather the middle and ring on the trail hand. He had a very specific swing so won't work for everyone, but I think it is important to try everything to see what works best for you.

  11. Interesting. Hogan said the exact opposite of what you said. He said that applying pressure with index and thumb on right hand would create a hook (not a fade or push). I find that Hogan is right but clearly I am coming at the ball differently than you with a different release.

  12. I use an interlock grip, but the same principles apply. My pressure is in my pinkie and ring fingers of the glove hand(left) and my middle and pointer of my right hand. I do create an "angled gap" with my finger to connect with my thumb. Glad I saw this video! I might play around with my pressure points now just to see what different results I can get! Great video! Thanks for sharing it!

  13. I am a interlocker, even though my coach wants me to change to overlapping. But I have been pretty much doing what Matt is describing here while working with my swing coach. Great video Matt.

  14. Great tip. Thank you for the detailed and easy to understand instruction in all your videos. This will give me something to work on over the winter. Cheers!

  15. This tip couldn't have come at a better time.. I was, for the longest time an interlocker, then 2 months ago now, I got my left pinky injured and I can't really use it to grip the club anymore to the point that I actually tape it so it stays straight so I don't injure it more.. to get more left fingers on the club, I switched to the overlap, and experimented with what you just explained.. and yes it is more effective to have a slot for the right pinky! This validates my experiment lol

  16. Damn – you explained something I have been experiencing. Now to wait about 90 days to try it out.
