There is no way that I could do 7-iron, 185 yards carry with that kind of compression
without a solid grip. Now, there are five ways. I'm going to show you how to guarantee a proper
top handgrip. This is one of the things that I see the most in the industry when I'm walking
down the range, or I have a new student that comes through my door. This is where there is such a
lack of understanding of the functionality of the grip. So you really don't want to miss this show.

your learning process by decades, literally. Okay. Now have a look at my son, Riley. He is now Quebec
champion, and you know, you gotta hang on to these handlebars when you're BMX racing. If you ever,
you've never seen BMX racing. It's been an Olympic sport since 2008. Riley is now number one in
Quebec, he's Quebec champion, and number five in Canada, you got to hang onto your handlebars
when it comes to stuff like that. Look at how he's holding on. So you got your handlebars here.
Notice how the forearm and the handlebars are at a straight 90-degree angle. Okay Or very similar
to that. And if you look at this angle, notice how we were to open the hand, how the heel pad of the
hand is on top. So when he's pushing down on his bike and supporting his body weight with that,
you gotta be able to secure that heel pad on top. You can't be holding on to the bike through the
center of the hand this way, like so many of you do, how do you get into that predicament Well, you
put the sole of the club flat to the ground. And what ends up happening is now the S the, the angle
of the club is way too upright. And now you try to grip it around that angle. This is absolutely
crazy because there's no way that you're going to be able to wrap your hand around this.
Look at the big gaping hole that you have in here now. So when I'm trying to hinge up and down from
there, the extra force is going to have that club rub all over your glove. And you're going
to open up big gaping holes here. This glove is well over a month in, in use. And I, and I
wear gloves every day. I hit golf balls every day. So notice there's no wear on this glove.
That's because when I hold it, like my handlebars, this way,
notice I can hinge up and down and nothing is coming apart. Everything
is vacuum-sealed and air-tight. So now I have a veritable compression chamber right here.
One another one for all you baseball players out there.
If I'm holding my baseball bat, waiting for my pitch,
I'm not going to hold it like this, right I'm not going to go very far.
And it'll probably get knocked out of my hands. This is where you hold that baseball
bat. Don't you. Then you put the other hand on top. Notice how everything comes.
Now. I've got, I can wait for my pitch. There's where the impact's going to be.
And then there's going to be a nice release of that action. So this feels like I've got
really good support to have that ball rocket off that face or rocket off the bat. Okay So
this is how you would hold it. Now, once you've got that grip on the baseball bat,
all you got to do is put your thumb on top and that's it. So we got a nice grip thumb on top,
and we're done. Notice we got the same thing you want to play while it's raining.
And it's very windy. Well, this is how you're going to hold the umbrella, correct
If you don't hold the umbrella like that, if you hold the umbrella the same way as
you holding your golf club, you're going to get wet here. It is thumb-on-top simple. Now,
if you're traveling in a suitcase, well, look at this. If I want it to carry this bag,
I'm going to put my fingers underneath the handle and bring the handle to the heel pad of my hand,
see these fingers. And then I bring it to the healed part of the hand. Now I can really support
something very heavy. So notice the fingers are supporting on the other side. So I know many of
you are saying, well, is this more in the fingers, or is it more in the Palm I call it the hand.
So if you're using your hand properly to take the club, what you're looking for is pressure.
The ability to create pressure. So imagine this was a hose, and I'm going to hold this
hose in a way that I'm going to clamp down and cut off the circulation. There it is.
Last one. Hey, if I'm in the gym and I want to do some push-ups while I'm holding golf clubs,
this is the only way to go noticed on right on my knuckles. It feels very, very solid.
Now I can go ahead and do some pushups. Notice where
I'm holding that club exactly in the same place as I'm holding my handlebars,
holding my club. That's it. So now I've got a grip notice where I'm grabbing it from, I'm not
going to put, I'm not going to ground my club or sole my club. I'm going to take my umbrella,
or I'm going to take my baseball bat, or I'm going to get it onto my bike.
And now notice how the toll of the club is off the ground toe. The club is supposed to be off
the ground because as I stopped coming down and start going back up again, on the other side,
all the G-forces in my swing are pulling down on the toe of the club. And this club is going
to come and sit itself down, and that's going to bow the shaft forward. This is a very stiff
golf shaft, right So notice how much bend there is in there. So there's a lot going on in the
golf swing. So I've got my solid grip posture. Notice how that brings my posture down as well.
I'm getting ready to collect the ball from the ground. So I want the sole of the club to peel
the grass along the surface of the ground. That's what's going to put the ball on the clubface.
I'm not getting ready to slap the ball. I'm getting ready to deliver
grass in the direction of the target. So notice my posture now, because I have a sound grip
it's going to relate to a better posture dynamically. And now all I got to do is gather
and release that club out there. Hear the sound of that sucker. Woo. That's fun. That's one 90
that flagstick. And I got seven and in my hands, seven iron I'm 56 years old. And I'm certainly not
a gym rat. That was 180 7 carry. Okay. So this is how you get compression. When you're able to
compress the ball, the ball is going to come off the face with a lot more speed. So we look at the
efficiency. That was 1.38, right So almost 1.4, I was able to transfer a lot of compression from
my body through the clubface into the golf ball and my ball speed on that was 130 miles an hour.
Okay. So I hope you enjoyed and appreciated what a solid lead handgrip is going to do for you.
As far as the trail hand, the grip is concerned. In the meantime, go see a video,
an oldie, but goodie of mine called a knife, the grip, Shawn Clement,
and on our premium channel, you'll see the grip. You go down our list of videos by date
toward the bottom is a fundamental city. And that includes the grip. So you see grip and grip part
two, which is the trail hand. Enjoy that you guys can't wait to see you next week. All the best
