A Truly Bizarre Short Game Tip

This tip from PGA trainer John O'Leary III over at golftipsmag.Com is one of the most weird I've visible... However it would help some of you, so right here it is.

No doubt you have visible Jim Furyk's double-overlap grip. He uses it on his full swing. If you are having trouble together with your short photographs, O'Leary is recommending a triple-overlap grip to take away scooping. (Note that this is for photographs of 40 yards or less ONLY.)

Triple-overlap grip

The primary idea right here is that with the arms overlapping this a good deal, your trailing hand can't take over and flip the club on the way to get the ball up.

I can see in which this might assist if you're having issues together with your chips and pitches. It basically teaches you the identical aspect that the old drill of swinging a weighted string did, except the a great deal stiffer shaft lets in you to see your fingers main the club head into the hitting region.

One key to making this work that isn't mentioned in the article is to make sure you're gripping the club firmly with the ring and pinky fingers of your lead hand. Otherwise you can lose your grip on the club, which won't help your short game at all!
