00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This video is my view of taking the grip.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So we've got the video on how to take the grip.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I'm just going to show you what my perspective of that looks like.

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
So first thing I'm going to do, I'm going to take my left hand and I'm going to

00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,000
karate chop or place this bone from the heel pad right there, right on the line

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
in the middle of the grip.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Then I'm going to curl my fingers down and put my thumb just off to the side here.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
So this would be my left hand grip.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,000
You can see that it's gripped.

00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
If I were to open it up, it's gripped in the fingers, not up here in the palm.

00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So what a lot of golfers will do is they will try to put it in the fingers like this

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
and then they will slide the hand and it will end up looking more like that.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So if your grip looks like this, we want to karate chop, get the fingers in place just

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
like that.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Now the right hand we're going to slide down until the ring finger of my right hand is up against

00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
the index finger of my left hand.

00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And then I'm going to take the lifeline right here and I'm going to put it on the corner of the thumb.

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
So not directly on the side, not directly on the top, kind of in the middle between those on the corner.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
So it's going to go right on the corner and then that thumb pad is going to come across just like so.

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And then I'm going to make a little minor adjustments until I feel like there's very few gaps.

00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000
So this gives you my perspective of what the grip looks like.

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Oftentimes you will have this left hand in a weak position or this right hand in a weak position like so.

00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
You can have spaces between your grips kind of like so.

00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Those are things that you want to avoid.

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
You want to try to create one unified piece that works mostly in the fingers of the left and right hands.

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So we'll go through it one more time, karate chop, put the fingers in place thumb just off to the side.

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Just like so so I can see two and a half three knuckles.

00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And I'm going to take this right hand, slide it in place just like so.

00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
With a help that's my view of taking the grip.
