@shavedhead78 in the past 20 years the average handicap has gone from 15.6
to 15.3. all the tech, video, therioes, and no one geats better. haney has
7 levels of insructors! level 2 is better then 6, why? just get to look at
someone older? what a joke.
@SHANEB731 But, I give tips to whoever wants them. But, I’ll only identify
SERIOUS problems like a happy left foot or other simple and small
incremental changes. The most important tip you can give is whatever you
change in your swing, make them small once you learn to hit the ball. KEEP
YOUR SWING!
It never ceases to amaze me how people that are happy to break 90 or 100
give advise, and more so that people listen to it!! I’m a 3 handicap and
still don’t hand out advise to everyone. If your new to the game only
listen to someone who understands the correct swing. The grip is extremely
important!! I’m not saying that peoples grips don’t vary. A lot of the time
people change there grip to compensate for a bad swing. Find a good Pro to
help you not a friend or stranger that can’t break 80.
no comments..?
@SHANEB731 I’m just coming into to single digit handicap. I was mid to high
teens last year, even though I broke 80 for the first time (at the end of
the season). The grip tip I got from Hank, simplly by relating a story of
one of the first things he told Tiger to change. Move the top of the club a
bit more into the palm. You have more control and more powerful strikes. I
hit the ball tour length and my consistency is rounding right now. Can’t
wait till I get my scratch card.
1, most of the top 100 teachers can’t break 80. 2, people who play golf
really really well don’t know how to explain technique. they just
instinctively play well, and can only relate what they feel which usually
isn’t what is really happening. jim mclean proved this when examining ben
hogans five lessons. and 3, doing what feels comfortable isn’t always the
best advice.
@OldSmellyCrotch Ahh gotcha, my bad then, definitely not just “one way to
do something” in any sport
@OldSmellyCrotch Haha, just because this grip doesn’t work for you doesn’t
mean it’s a load of crap. Golf is an amazing sport in that there’s no
absolutes. There’s no universal way to swing the club, grip the club, hit
the ball, whatever. Every golfer is different, and so you have to do what
you did, just find what works for you. I mean look at Arnold Palmer and
then look at Tiger Woods, two completely different grips and swings, both
legends in the game of golf! Just find what works for you!
Is it possible that the hands can be too unified on the grip? I believe
alot in the basics and to me, it looked like my right hand was too far up
on the shaft. (my right hand lifeline was more on my left thumb pad, and
not so much on the thumb). I moved my right hand down more on top of my
thumb and I was hitting these great penetrating shots and was more on
balance at finish….
hmmm…every great golfer and trainer says the grip is really important…i
just started playing, i wonder if i should take haney’s tip or yours….i’m
taking your tip!!! hank who!?
It all Starts with the grip!?
