The 5 Out of 10 Grip Pressure Rule for Effortless Speed

Tight golf grip pressure is one of the most common swing killers, and most golfers do not even realize they are doing it. In this behind-the-scenes clip from a live True Swing Retreat, Erika Larkin and certified True Swing coach, Amanda Beeler, break down exactly what your golf grip pressure should feel like, why wrist freedom is the key to natural lag and speed, and how a simple pre-shot routine keeps your body dynamic and ready to swing instead of frozen and stiff. But first, if you want to put the grip pressure and wrist freedom concepts from this video into a real practice plan, join our 7-Day Swing Reset Challenge. It's seven days of simple, focused drills designed to help you build a freer, more natural swing from the ground up. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4v1r58s In this video, you'll learn: - Why starting with a grip pressure of around four out of ten and letting it naturally increase during the swing produces more speed than gripping tighter from the start - How the wrist flail drill demonstrates that wrist hinge is a passive response to momentum, not something you actively manufacture - Why trying to create lag by forcing the wrist angle actually kills the very speed you are trying to produce - What a golf waggle does for the swing and why it serves the same purpose as a dribble before a free throw or a split step in tennis - How pressure precedes motion, and why staying dynamic before the swing is just as important as the swing itself If you want to experience this kind of coaching in person, check our events calendar: https://bit.ly/4c5ptBU Subscribe to True Swing for new golf instruction every week.
