Now many of you use an interlocking grip. Hey, the two best players in the history of the game,
Jack Nichols and Tiger Woods, they both use an interlocking grip. But
there's one thing in there that you are doing a real death move with,
and that is interlocking way too deep. And then you end up having competing hands for
those snuff boxes. What the heck is a snuff box Stay tuned. You don't wanna miss this show.
So if your grip looks like this and you're playing army golf,
you have competing hands for where the wrists are gonna tend to hinge. Now if I'm going fishing,
my wrist is gonna hinge on what we call the anatomical snuff box. So you notice how my
wrist is hinging here on that little cavity, and then I'm releasing my fishing line out toward the
target. So if I'm slashing a sword, I'm doing the same thing. Everything is loading up on that snuff
box. Notice how the elbow's leading, then the hand see the position of my hand cutting through,
and then the sword tip catches up to my hand and releases the hand. And then I've got this
beautiful reh hinge on the other side to slow things down, to keep things we call
self preserved. So release, release, release, that's one of the major natural things that we do.
If we want to throw football hammer nails, it's all done on that snuff box.
So when your hands are, when you interlock your grip too deep,
you end up having your hands underneath and naturally you'll notice your hands. They want
to hang alongside your body. So what happens is, if I was to open up my arms, I'm using a lot of
different muscle groups to do that and I relax. Notice how they want to snap back. They've got
stress memory. Your body has its own structure and your ligaments and tendons and muscles, they wrap
around your bone structure in a very specific way so that you're not a, just a bag of bones hanging
on the ground or flopping all over the place. It's got structure to it. So if I close too much
and I let it come back, so if you've got one hand like this and the other hand like that,
and then you're trying to hinge your wrist at the top of the swing, something's gotta give.
So if I give with my right and I let my right hand hinge, you'll notice now my left wrist is
Boeing like crazy and my club face is ending up facing the sky very closed. This is what you'll
see Brooks Kepp could do. Thing is he's at the top of the food chain. You're not . So I'm gonna show
you something more efficient than that. So if I go to the top of the backswing and I do that and then
I swing, well, what ends up happening is I end up overdrawing the ball to the left of the green
and then it'll also go further in the unusual. Now if you do the, if you do the opposite and
you get to the top of the backswing and your left wrist hinges properly,
then the face of the club is pointing straight down toward the ground, it's wide open.
So watch what happens now. So I'm gonna have to aim way left for this one. Before we continue with

Yes, on the wrist whip through. Wow, look at that. That face ended up super open.
That was really well struck. And instead of 170 yards that I was carrying on the previous one,
I'm now one 40 nutted with a seven iron. So not exactly what you're looking for is it. So
what we're looking for is a grip where your hands are going to be able to hinge together in unison.
All right, so let's start with just a basic karate chop. So if I had a board here and I
wanted to drive through the board, this part of my hand is a lot more solid than this. This is
just a slap and I can't slap through the board. I need to drive through the board. So now you
take the board and you put it horizontal or vertically, and now I'm gonna take it
horizontally through. So watch both hands there. So I want to feel like everything is in unison
moving through the board and into that direction. And everyone has different variability. But you'll
notice that the vast majority of players on tour, Webb Simpson, Paul Ainger, Bubba Watson, man,
the list is humongous as to who has a strong grip and the strong grip far outnumber the weak grips
out there. Okay So they were just comparing, actually, there was Matt Fitzpatrick's grip to
Morikawa's grip and Morikawa's was semi-neutral you know, weak like that.
And he plays fade and he allows that wrist to bow when he is threw the ball. And so he's been able
to lock it in a certain way and very similar to what Brooks Keka does. but then you've got
Fitzpatrick who's much stronger on that side. He brings the other hand over, see how the hands
are. So having a strong left hand and a weak right hand is actually not a bad way to go Moo. You tend
to do that as well. Yeah, right. So, and then you've got the other grippers like, you know,
Paul Azinger and Bubba Watson who are more strong on top and strong on the bottom. And we're just
hammering nails that way. So when I get into this position, notice my wrists are hinging together,
staying together, see the wrists, the, the, the unhinging of it,
and then I'm collecting the ball from here, releasing the ball into that direction.
I'm somewhere in between. So the key here is there's a natural release that's going to
occur. So the first thing you do is you give it some slashes of the sword. So you notice
if my right hand is gonna release this way, my left hand is going to release underneath it. I
don't want to hang on with the left because then that holds the right hand underneath.
So I take a grip that allows me to hinge and release very naturally and then I'll take it
through the golf shot. So I want my peak speed to be out there. So what we do at Wisdom and Golf is
we provide you with a task that is through the ball. So if I take grass clippings from
here and I whip them into the wall, my attention is on the wall and I'm gonna take momentum some
and send some grass clippings out there into the wall.
That's even better. That felt like peak speed was a little bit more out here than down here.
So now I'm gonna do the same thing here. I'm going to allow my arm club unit to load and release into
that picture with complete freedom. Abandon no interference. Here we go. So I release it out
there and with the right amount of ingredients get in. Oh, nice job. How about that So
I am, three feet offline of where I ended up, but that looked like it almost went in
the hole. My ho my holes at 180 and that carried 180. So I probably missed the hole by an inch.
And so yes, and we do have holes in one on this thing. I got two last week, the,
11th and 12th since we started here. So I'm zoning in on what works for me.
So the key is whip that way through a specific intermediate point. So I'm going in that direction
with my grass clippings and I'm whipping the grass clippings out towards my target
and I observe my ball flight. So a, when you interlock,
don't interlock all the way in. Can you see now how my hands have been compromised
You'll notice the best interlocks like jack and tiger, they interlock partially not fully. So this
is what it's gonna look like. I use an overlapping grip. So if I go from there to overlap, notice
my grips pretty much the same. And if I went 10 finger, it would be the same. So notice how I'm
always in a position where both wrists can hinge together on those anatomical snuff boxes. They're
going to be allowed to hinge, allowed to release and re hinge in my finish. See that reh hinge
You're gonna see the vast majority of of PGA a tour players re hinge on those snuff boxes in
the finish. So it looks like this. See that So it hinges together, releases and re hinges together,
and then you see how the ball flies. So if you have both wrist hinging nicely together
and you whip through and the ball keeps going out to the right, well, all you gotta do is
let go of the grip. Watch how I close this, close the face. Notice my grip is the same.
Close it more. That's obviously way too close. But notice my hands hinge, hinge,
hinge. If I did this, oops, how am I gonna hinge Now you can't close your grip like that.
This is in a very compromised position. There's been a lot
of wrist injuries on tour that required a lot of surgeries. Don't be one of those.
This is the most powerful position for your hands. It's the same position that we use for baseball.
It's the same position that we use for tennis. You never go through a tennis ball like this.
You get your wrist ripped right off. You don't hammer nails like that. You get your wrist ripped
off. You don't cast fishing poles like that. So you can see where I'm going. This is how human
beings on planet earth deliver, you know, tools. That's the best way and most efficient way and
the least prone to injury that you can possibly have. The only, I'm glad you stuck with the video,
this really important information, isn't it And then, hey, if you have it too closed,
this is what's gonna look like. I'm gonna send grass clippings out to the target. Here we go.
Send the clippings. Whoa. So notice that started straight,
big time, long notice. I got more distance. It's like a six and a half iron that I just
hit with. So as 190 yards carry, but 2000 spin to the left. Now if I have a two open
and I'm gonna send those grass clippings out there to the target,
Get out there. Whoa, that's way too open. And that's what people don't realize. That
looks open. But then at impact it's gonna be here and the ball just glances off the face
and off you go. And that was 1 43 carry with 3000 sides spin to the right. So
back to my normal position, it feels now that when I send those grass clippings in
the direction I want the ball to start, that the ball will behave in the air the way I want it to.
What's that gonna look like again What's that feel like Oh yeah, send those grass clippings that way.
And there you have it. Ooh, that might be close again.
Woo, right over the flag stick. Enjoy that. See you next week.
