@adamyounggolf1 has a similar grip drill that I also quite like. Depending on your particular shot pattern – especially if it's not functional – close or open the face, then take your grip, then rotate your arms/shoulders to bring the face back to square in address position. Great way to experiment and have some fun, too!
Tried this and it absolutely works a treat.
Hi Mark,
Great video, I tried the grip technique at my oval.
I normally hit a 7 iron with carry distance of 160-165 yds.
After I used grip technique, I was flushing 180-190 yds carry distance.
The iron drives were penetrating.
Wow, i was impressed.
Its a joke I will now need to revise the carry distances for all of my clubs.

Brilliantly simple. I tried it and noticed my left hand was in a great position. Roll on Saturday to get this onto the course!
Great explanation Marc.
When are you going through trail hand addition?
Great explanation Mark – I used this to check my grip which I was pretty happy with ( slightly strong) and works a treat as a check great way for a novice to learn how to put hands on club 👏👏👏👏
Mark this is brilliant this is one part of my game I keep fiddling with now this makes perfect sense and so easy to implement.. Bravo sir 👌👌👌😊
So in essence you have a neutral grip just addressing the club face closed/open?
I find what add's to the issues around grips is the conflicting information from coaches. I had a great lesson last year where the coach identified I have an open face through my swing and do a lot of manipulation to manage the face on impact. He moved me to a stronger grip and after a bit of getting used to was hitting these low, penetrating irons.
However through some fittings over the last year, it's amazed me how many other fitters and coaches have asked where did I get my grip, and they just don't seem to agree with it.
Think it goes to the mantra that there just is no right way, and it's about what is comfortable or you can make work. I have seen a trend of coaches now advising intentional weak grips for chipping, and other coaches saying to move to a strong grip on a driver. Whatever happened to just having one grip for everything 😀
Wow. Gee Whiz. Great thanks Mr. Crossfield. Nice one. Appreciated.
😂. I can totally see how people would have a hard time with the feel of a new grip. Love the drill though! The whole thing with having some confidence in regard to the relationship between the hands to the face…money. Funny enough I think I’m about 15 min from the NorCal Golf Academy. Even if this isn’t totally yours though I’m glad you put this out there!!!
AMG golf likes this too. They hold the left hand straight out in front with the top of the hand flat and the club face rotated slightly up.
Makes so much sense, can't wait to give this a try. Have so much trouble with consistency in shape, this could help bring it in.
This is absolutely brillianr
This video is very helpful. I have a weak grip but hit hard draws/hooks for some reason that no teacher has been able to help me correct (I think it's the way I take the grip on the club). I used your method to grip in the club in the air, my grip is MUCH stronger than before and I hit baby draws with many shots even staying right. it must be how I was taking the grip – I am going to work on this method. thanks!
Been doing this for years. Holding the club in front with face perpendicular to ground then tweaking it closed…..then take your regular grip
Is it just me or this a really long winded way of saying keep your left thumb just right of centre?
Your comment "it's really quite tricky"is what stands out to me. If you struggle to do it all while having Pete stand behind you telling you what you did, well what hope is there to me. I will go try it but I don't know if I can implement it. Thanks Danny.
Great idea
Just tried this , but first, I used my normal grip and then see if my face is square with the back of my hand , to my horror it was quite closed 😢 . Tried the method you showed in the video and hit some airballs into the curtains and wow totally different.. I can't wait to try this down the range .. thank you ❤ and norgolf
You never fail to impress.
Makes perfect sense, but all you illustrated was the left hand grip, nothing on the right hand grip. Does the right hand crease in middle (Carpal Tunnel) just fit on top of the left thumb? Which begs this ? where does the left thumb sit?
what about pressure? how hard should we hold on? I've heard super firm and I've heard very light (at least with the trail hand). thanks!
Excellent Mark on how to get the "perfect golf grip!" Something I will definitely be paying attention to!
Did he make the club stay up right at 5:05? Am I the only not seeing another object holding it up?
I am sure it's coincidence, but this video is a perfect response to my comment on your video from yesterday about the club face angle when the club reaches horizontal just before impact with the ball. With the slight closure of the club face when taking the grip, the club face now aligns more to the spine angle than the vertical at this important horizontal consideration.
Thanks for yet another great video.
Love this, as been struggling with what I thought was a neutral grip, but was getting a closed face at impact….. big pull shots. Weakened my grip at weekend and saw straighter shots. This explains it so much better than me playing around blind
Issues with reference left hand as club face: most amateurs are not sling or left side golfers. They all focus and swing thoughts are their right arm and right side. They are more of a throw golfer. My solution to those golfers is what JV preaches. Have your setup, shoulders align square or closed. Get comfortable then gripping your clubs as the last thing. This will give u your natural grip, so it’s repeatable. There is no 1 grip or 1 swing that fits every body type and swing type. Your grip needs to match your wrist hinge and release style.
I changed my grip from weak to strong (sometimes showing 3 knuckles) and it made a huge difference, especially with my driver. It took a solid 3 months to really get use to it though.
I went to three knuckles on the left and flushing it now but now struggling with short game. Working on changing grip just for short game.
Do you still square the face to the ball after you open or close it for your grip?
Changing your grip must be one of the hardest things to do in golf. I've even felt during the swing my grip reverting back to its "natural" position which for me is a very strong grip.
