Match Your Grip and Club Speed for Better Wedge Play
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify the importance of matching grip speed with club head speed
- Feel the difference between a stalled grip and a coordinated follow-through
- Practice maintaining speed in both grip and club head for improved distance control
Learn how to synchronize your grip speed with your club head speed to improve your wedge shots. This drill will help you maintain a consistent follow-through and enhance your overall wedge game.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.140
This wedge video is matching the club and the grip speed
2
00:00:03.140 --> 00:00:04.920
so
3
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:06.120
one of the
4
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.120
concepts that I really like for
5
00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:12.280
Especially when we get into the distance wedges, but it can apply to the fines
6
00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:13.520
se wedge as well is
7
00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:17.520
working on on the follow-through and
8
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:22.440
Especially kind of the later later stages of the release having the grip and
9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.220
the club head kind of revolving
10
00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:27.560
around the circle
11
00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:34.240
At a similar pacing as opposed to this would be all grip speed
12
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:40.470
Put that down for a second. So this would be all grip speed compared to the
13
00:00:40.470 --> 00:00:41.040
club and if I
14
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:45.720
Exaggerate it even more it would be kind of like that or this would be all
15
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:48.480
Handle speed where basically
16
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:54.240
The point of the grip is kind of frozen in space and the hand the club head
17
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.600
Works past that as opposed to
18
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.600
Having the two of them
19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.020
Kind of matched up a little bit better where the grip and the handle
20
00:01:06.020 --> 00:01:11.720
Almost look like they're moving around a point somewhere in the body
21
00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:17.520
So having that all work together tends to be a look that I see with more
22
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:18.920
consistent wedge players
23
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.660
I like it in the full swing as well, but it seems to be that much more
24
00:01:23.660 --> 00:01:24.160
important in
25
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.240
The wedges especially the distance wedges, but you can work on it in the fines
26
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:31.460
se game as well
27
00:01:31.460 --> 00:01:33.800
So to do that
28
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:38.360
I use a lot of the concept of kind of hit my arms where basically
29
00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:41.920
You're almost trying to match at this waist height position
30
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.880
Like there's as much speed in the grip as there is going to be in the club head
31
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:53.160
So to demonstrate on the way through
32
00:01:53.720 --> 00:01:55.720
You'll basically see
33
00:01:55.720 --> 00:02:02.800
No stall no flip, but supporting it with my body and continuing that rotation
34
00:02:02.800 --> 00:02:06.080
Keeps the grip end of the club moving
35
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:09.800
It's rare to see golfers have too much grip speed
36
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:16.220
But it's very common to see that grip kind of stall and the club head pass like
37
00:02:16.220 --> 00:02:18.160
so so working on
38
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:21.160
Keeping the grip moving
39
00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:25.720
through the release can really help kind of
40
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:30.720
Smooth out some of your contact issues, which will really help with your
41
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:32.000
distance distance control
42
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.720
Especially as we get into kind of the 70 80 90 yard wedge shots
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.140
This wedge video is matching the club and the grip speed
2
00:00:03.140 --> 00:00:04.920
so
3
00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:06.120
one of the
4
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.120
