I was working on grip just this morning!  Good video - I have gone to gripping in the air since taking an instructive thrashing over several months from a certain online instructor a couple of years ago 🫢.  Still never quite got it right 🥺

While there may be many grip styles used by the best players in the world, there are certain commonalities of a functional golf grip and I wanted to put this thread together to help illustrate what th

I shot these in a mirror and then flipped them. I progressively close my fingers and grip on the club in each one. And no, my watch is not too tight. It's medium, and when I have the ulnar deviat

@Shindig, I made this quick video that may help. @iacas, please correct me if I’m off.

I ask nearly all my students to grip in air in pre shot routine. Much easier to set in fingers.

      Driver vs 3 Wood

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      As usual, this is difficult to answer without seeing your swing. So, my first suggestion is to start a My Swing Thread.  After that, my next best guess is that you fade (slice) your driver more than your 3-wood.  I once played with a guy who had such a glancing blow with his driver that I could out drive him with my 6 iron.  Get with a good instructor and learn to hit your driver properly. Even with 93 mph swing speed you should be able to hit your driver 210-230.

      Driver vs 3 Wood

      By Sclaffer ·

      I recently returned to golf and got a Swing Caddy SC300i. It has confirmed what I have suspected for some time - I hit my 3 wood as far as my driver. This is backed up by similar swing speeds of 93 MPH. I have had 6 months off golf and exercise, so my speed is down a bit on what it was. Driver is 12 degrees, D1, Cobra 70g stiff shaft. 3 wood is 15 degrees, D0, Cleveland Gold 65g stiff shaft. The 3 wood feels great to me and flies straight. The driver feels dead to me and tends to slice. A local pro thinks the shafts are both a little on the soft side of stiff (which suits for me). The only difference I can see is the driver total weight is 340 grams and the 3 wood is 320 grams. My question is what is going on? Surely 20 grams should not slow my driver down to the same swing speed as my 3 wood?
