The Grip: How to grip the club with your lead hand | The Golf Paradigm

Описание: How you hold the golf club is of the utmost importance if your grip is to match up with how your body moves during the swing. Take the grip correctly and your ball striking will reach a new level. Take the grip incorrectly, and your game will suffer tremendously.

The lead hand is what we focus on in this video. We have to give credit to where credit is due and we learned this from the great teachers Mike Adams, EA Tischler, and Terry Rowles. We highly suggest you give them a follow across all social media.

To determine your lead hand and how it should be put on the club do the following:
1) Assume an address position holding the club the way your currently do.
2) Make sure that the leading edge of the club is flush against a straight edge; rope at the range, board, etc.
3) Move yourself to an impact position, with the hips and shoulders slightly open, and the shaft leaning slightly towards the target. Hopefully the leading edge of the club head will remain flush to the straight edge you use (rope, board, etc.)
3) Go back to set up position, but this time remove your trail hand from the club.
4) Again, move to impact position - shoulders and hips slightly open and shaft leaning toward the target
IF
The clubface opens (toe of the club head moves away from the straight edge) you need to strengthen your lead hand grip and repeat the test until the leading edge stays flush to the straight edge the entire time.

The clubface closes (heel of the club head moves away from the straight edge) you need to weaken your lead hand grip and repeat the test until the leading edge stays flush to the straight edge the entire time.

For some this 'new' lead hand position maybe uncomfortable but because it is how your body is designed the adaptation should not take long at all.

What is The Golf Paradigm (Pair-a-dime)?
The Golf Paradigm is a theory that encompasses a Whole-In-One approach to improvement. It begins with the overall paradigm; i.e. the game of golf. Followed by two parts that are always to remain in balance; i.e. the golf yin/yang - ‘improving’ and ‘enjoyment’. Helping to maintain that balance are the 5 elements of the game; the swing, club fitting, health/fitness, mental, and integration. Knowing which area to focus on and how the other areas supplement that helps to form the golfers ‘recipe’ for improvement. As the golfer improves their recipe, or what is focused on, changes and this is what allows them to reach levels of play they never thought possible. It’s not magical, but it’s close.
