Here is Freddie another super strong grip suggesting a weaker grip for higher shots.The super strong grip for the short game is not recommended as Dave Pelz points out.I think Azinger has found a way to accommodate this.

Because a strong grip encourages the handle to be forward… as I said (and the opposite of what you said).

It is only fair to mention that Azinger has a super strong grip since most people don't ,I think we can agree on that and how this grip impacts the short game.

Since the only thing you've said about how it affects the short game is that a strong grip promotes the handle being back (the opposite is more true), I don't think we can agree to that yet at all, no.

Here we have Azinger at about the :50 sec mark referring to an "artificial" set up.Again, if it works ,great,but I would be careful with it.

He says the heel is shaved down-The Bounce-so he stands the club up to use a little more bounce on the toe. Ray Floyd also said to get as close to the ball as possible-And stood the club up quite a bit too.[quote name="freedrop" url="/t/71877/paul-azinger-golf-channel-academy/54#post_948539"]Here we have Azinger at about the :50 sec mark referring to an "artificial" set up.Again, if it works ,great,but I would be careful with it.

Saw it...was a bit shocked he threw of on pro's, probably didn't mean to but none the less did. I tweeted him out it and he called me a troll. Thanks Paul real class. I thought segment was good otherwise. I even noted tv can be tough!

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
