I don’t care that you’re making golf swings. Go ahead. But make them with the right grip!!!!!

It feels so right/correct when I grip the club. Just like my video above. Clearly I am gripping it in my fingers at address. Not sure why something changes with a swing. It’s not like the club finds some way to move around in my as I’m holding onto it with my fingers in both hands. Can that be the an illusion from the angle created as my hands get “deeper” behind me? It shouldn’t be this hard to simply grip the club correctly and maintain it throughout the swing.

It might be a bit of an illusion. Technically we’d want to see the camera plane square to the back of your hand.

Just do yourself the favor of being super diligent about it.

I have noticed the feel of the ball at impact is much better as of the past 2-3 days of working on this.

It looks better. It is going to feel odd for a while because you are making a change as to how the grip feels in your hands. But after a few weeks, a palmy grip will feel odd. Keep a club in the house and just pick it up a grip it when you walk by it. Do it just like you would at set up.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing! Great minds think alike. Thanks man

Being cognizant about my grip this afternoon...

my heel pad is atop the grip which is in my fingers...right?

 

at A5-6:

grip is still in fingers with the butt of the grip still under heel pad...yes?

That’s what I see, but that may be wishful observation.

So let me get this straight... you went for a walk with your wife, in public, while practicing golf stuff. Then you had her take a picture so you can post it on the internet?

I'm sorry man, you're beyond help 😜

I’m not there in person or anything… but just double check it.

Admittedly, those pics look a little incriminating, but I am 100% sure I am good with the grip.

It's not a bad camera angle or weird artifact or something.

It's a grip that creeps into the palm.

And… I can stop mentioning it if you want me to.

I never want to you squelch your advice. And I did already notice the grip seemed palmy when I posted these last swings and completely expected your response. I do think my grip is “better” at times than what it seems on camera, but I definitely concede it’s palmier right now. I’ve had to take some time off from practicing as of late with fostering a little girl, so I need to get refocused. I’ll start working on the grip again. I appreciate you taking the time to look at the swing, blow up the pics, and respond. 

My lack of progress may cause YOU to feel like you’ll want to give up on me, but I don’t ever want you to hold back, especially if you think I’m just not getting it...like in this case.

    • When you're quite overweight, you burn more calories just existing than someone much thinner just existing, so it's easier to lose more weight more quickly, too. A very large person can lose 10-12 pounds in three weeks without being unhealthy about rapid weight loss. If you weigh 170 and want to weigh 160, though, you should take your time getting down there.
    • I figured it was questionable as well. I too thought it was funny when he said how easy it was to set up compared to ‘more expensive devices.’ Yeah, it’s a real mess turning on my Mevo and setting it down. Maybe it’s ‘useful’ for someone who doesn’t want to spend a dime on a monitor and only wants to know distance, on a clear day.😗
    • Is all about the balance between calories consumed / digested vs calories burned though the day. The best way to lose weight is to keep your mouth shut! eat less. Consume less calories than your body needs and you will loose weight eventually. Slowly but surely. Off course you can ad extra workout to your day to burn more calories but it's a lot easier to avoid eating that 2nd burger than going out to run an hour or more to burn it. I went from 75 kilos down to 63 in 1 year just because I wasn't able to eat without pain. In that year I didn't exercise at all in that period, I was feeling bad every day. It was all about not eating enough.  2 years later I regained all my weight, just because I started eating more because I was feeling better. Also in that period I started to hit the gym and play more golf. Burned a lot more calories but also eat a LOT more food.  Fast and slow metabolism is a thing but is just an excuse to quit. If you have a slow metabolism and you want to lose weight is going to be harder for you to lose weight than a person that have fast metabolism, but is possible if you really commit to it.  Bonus track... the bigger the muscles, the more calories they burn during the day even when they are resting. So lifting weight while dieting is better than dieting with cardio.    What is real in a diet? The ideal number is to eat 500 calories less than you burn per day. In 2 week you will be 7000 calories down. That equals to 1 kilo or 2 pounds. So the idea is to loose 2 kilos / 4 pounds a months... it seams to little but over a year is a whopping 24 kilos / 48 pounds. Remember... if you commit to loose way Slowly but surely you will lose weight. Never believe when someone try's to sell you, that you can loose 20 pounds in one month. Is not possible or healthy.  Another thing when you start to diet is don't get discouraged if after a week you stop going down in weight, even you start to go up. is normal, when you start to diet, you normally loose a couple pounds in water, yes that water is from water retention from your previous diet.  Just keep on grinding and you will keep loosing weight eventually. Also worth pointing out, the body always tends to stay the same. If your weight is 100 and you start a diet, you body is going to notice that the calories intake is been dramatically reduced, so in order to keep you at 100 kilos is going to slow down your metabolism in order for you to burn less calories. Eventually this is not going to be enough and you will start to loose weight but your body is not going to make it easy on you.     
    • I feel like that video was an incredible waste of time. Because the guy kept saying carry and clearly the device is saying total distance. With carry distance also on there, but he's not calling that out. They when he's comparing it to the Trackman he continues to say "carry", when again the device says total. With his being so inexact in the use of the terms carry and total distances I literally have no idea how accurate or inaccurate that thing is.  I will say the putting was kind of neat. 
    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
