u/RyanJKaz 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Any advice?”
Agreed and this video has helped me so much that I also think many others could benefit from it as much as I do, always finding my way back to it often especially as I practice more & more to piece together a workable swing that a PGA L-certified teaching pro can help me with in pursuit of getting rid of my horrible slice. It’s one of the best grip lessons, in my opinion, as it shows various ones, and the teacher in …

u/Expert_Elevator2765 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Low snap/duck hooks need help badly”
I had hooks for a month straight; IMMEDIATE fix was my grip. Club was too much in the fingers in my left hand thus whenever I applied pressure to the club the face snapped shut. This grip with it starting in the index finger and running slightly into the palm got rid of the hooks instantly. ▶ this video

u/United-Shop477 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Any help appreciated”
Hi, I think you might need to fix your grip before changing anything else. It is way too strong. You have tons of videos on youtube to get a good grip, it is an easy fix. With your current grip, your club face is so closed at impact. Hope it will help you! Cheers Edit: this video is amazing ▶ this video

This is a fairly good description. It feels awkward at first but it helps. Also at the top of backswing try keeping left wrist straight. ▶ this video

It’s just gonna take practice. I played baseball my whole life and have no problem interlocking, I say rip the bandaid and try it for a while. My hands feel way more as one because of interlock. Tom Watson is a legend of the game, follow what he says ▶ this video

u/Snoo49601 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Tell me what I need to work on”
A Face on view would show more but your left hand appears to be under the grip with your left thumb ON the grip, this does not allow proper wrist hinge during the swing. With the club in front of you, and the club face square ( a straight line ) clap 👏 your hands onto the grip like you are praying 🙏 to the golf gods. So basically your left palm faces the fairway, the right palm faces the opposite direction. Right …

u/MysteriousAge28 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “30-year golfer completely broken. Non-stop, literal 20-in-a-row CONSTANT shanks. Hand-eye or psychological?”
So what i mean is leverage, my 60 yard shot still looks like my normal swing for the most part. Lets look at your hands first, i see zero mobility in your wrists which means your getting no release. The club head needs to rotate in order to create power, i guarantee you you would hit the ball farther swinging 80% with a loose grip than you would now. Im linking a video on grip from tom watson if you actually follow …
