From: pmchugh on 6 Nov 2006 17:31 The four finger grip drill. Now that's the beginner golf lesson I wish I'd been given all those years ago. It's not just a lesson; it's like having your very own trainer by your side every time you want to find the perfect swing. The first time I saw this drill, which I have found to be an ideal beginner golf lesson, was on a coaching video by golf guru, Greg McHatton. He was just showing everyone how dynamic the golf club is without exerting too much force from the hands or arms. What I didn't realise at the time was how easy it was to actually hit a dynamic shot with this grip. I remember watching the video and Greg explaining that it was difficult to influence the club's gravity and swing path with this grip. As this was a video, I was only able to see the swing he made and not what happened to the ball. All he said regarding this was, "It's quite surprising how far and straight the ball has actually flown." It's a wonderful drill which I use to warm up before every game. In fact, half the time during a lesson I'll use this grip when I'm demonstrating the swing. Has anyone had similar experiences? Awrabest S.MacD.
From: KnighT on 6 Nov 2006 19:35 Can you explain this drill ? I am unfamiliar with it. What video did it come from ? I have been thinking about purchasing the DVD's from Greg McHatton. How far and straight can you hit a ball with say your 7-iron compared to a normal grip with the same club ? pmchugh(a)online.de wrote: > The four finger grip drill.

From: pmchugh on 7 Nov 2006 04:44 I am in the process of explaining this drill further in my free info web site. www.online-golf-lesson-and-more.com/beginner-golf-lesson.html. I forget the name of the video but it's not important as Greg only demonstrates it once to explain how dynamic and precise the club is without using the hands. He doesn't really advocate it the way I do but I am very thankful that he did mention it. I use my nine iron with this drill and can hit it constantly 110 to 120 yds straight at the target. Especially when I don't interfere. What is also astounding is the ball flight is so high and pure. I will be doing a short video on the site with this drill. By the way this drill has brought me to a completely new playing level and I recently achieved a 5 under 67 at my course (in late autumn). Hope I have been of some help.
