00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.320
this video is my view of taking the grip. So we've got the video on how to take
2
00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.100
the grip. I'm just going to show you what my perspective of that looks like. So
3
00:00:10.100 --> 00:00:12.420
first thing I'm going to do, I'm going to take my left hand and I'm going to
4
00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:19.180
karate chop or place this bone from the heel pad right there, right on the line
5
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:23.060
in the middle of the grip. Then I'm going to curl my fingers down and put my
6
00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:28.350
thumb just off to the side here. So this would be my left hand grip. You can
7
00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:28.500
see
8
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:33.040
that it's gripped. If I were to open it up, it's gripped in the fingers, not up
9
00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:33.300
here
10
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:37.020
in the palm. So what a lot of golfers will do is they will try to put it in the
11
00:00:37.020 --> 00:00:40.140
fingers like this and then they will slide the hand and it'll end up looking
12
00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:44.550
more like that. So if your grip looks like this, we want to karate chop, get
13
00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:44.660
the
14
00:00:44.660 --> 00:00:48.860
fingers in place just like so. Now the right hand we're going to slide down
15
00:00:48.860 --> 00:00:54.640
until the ring finger of my right hand is up against the index finger of my
16
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.590
left hand and then I'm going to take the lifeline right here and I'm going to
17
00:00:58.590 --> 00:00:58.740
put
18
00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:01.940
it on the corner of the thumb. So not directly on the side, not directly on the
19
00:01:01.940 --> 00:01:06.230
top, kind of in the middle between those on the corner. So it's going to go
20
00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:06.440
right
21
00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:10.700
on the corner and then that thumb pad is going to come across just like so and
22
00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:14.700
then I'm going to make little minor adjustments until I feel like there's
23
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:22.580
very few gaps. So this gives you my perspective of what the grip looks like.
24
00:01:22.580 --> 00:01:27.440
Oftentimes you will have this left hand in a weak position or this right hand
25
00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:27.600
in a
26
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:33.320
weak position like so. You can have spaces between your grips kind of like so.
27
00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:36.640
Those are things that you want to avoid. You want to try to create one unified
28
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.960
piece that works mostly in the fingers of the left and right hands. So we'll go
29
00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:49.240
through it one more time, karate chop, put the fingers in place, thumb just off
30
00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:53.860
to the side just like so. So I can see two and a half three knuckles and I'm
31
00:01:53.860 --> 00:01:59.140
going to take this right hand, slide it in place just like so. What it helps,
32
00:01:59.140 --> 00:01:59.220
that's
33
00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:02.740
my view of taking the grip.
