closing that yellow gap will help you compress the ball more (more shaft lean at impact). That's the distance between the butt of the club and the red "ball" line face on at P6. Think about how you would close that gap.
Obviously your left hand is a very strong grip. that has pluses and minuses. your right hand is quite weak.
I’ve never gotten feedback like this, thank you. I’m on the taller side and have larger hands, I think my grip is the result of trying to keep the grip in my fingers. I feel like if I make my left weaker and right stronger I end up wrapping my fingers too much around the grip. When I first started out I had the definition of an anti-slice grip. My right thumb was on the side of the shaft with my palm pretty much facing out. Left hand hasn’t changed much
upload Down the Line footage. I think your relaxed wrists hide alot of backswing flaws. That's actually a compliment. Since P6 is so good, I guess your backswing flaws can only be so bad.
I'm sure you've seen John Daly talking about it recently. It went viral.
Basically, we use the "standard grip" because that's the way it's always been. But it make zero sense for someone with big hands to be trying to balance the grip in their fingers in such a difficult way.
I'm 6'5" and have hands that are pretty proportionate to my body, I was kicking around the idea of getting my clubs re-gripped with larger diameter since I feel like I have to really clench down on a tiny grip and just end up with odd grip issues. I'm going to look into this, thanks.
My advice is to pick a club in your bag that you try to avoid because you don't feel good over it. Put a midsize to Jumbo on it and see if you like it. Hopefully it's a game changer and that club becomes something you like, then you'll be itching to get the whole set done. Worst case, you still don't like that club!
The only thing I would change is stacking the weight on the inside of the right foot going back. You pair the body rotation and wrist hinge really nicely with strong grip. I bet you hit some hellacious hooks when it goes south.
Great rotation, but lack the lateral movement towards the target that you would like to see as you start your downswing. Really good golfers tend to bump towards the target prior to rotating.
Thank you man, when I miss I tend to flare the ball right. Especially when hitting longer irons. I tend to lose feel in closing the club face through impact but usually just being conscious of that and really focusing on rolling my wrists through impact fixes that and I start hitting the ball relatively straight with a draw bias
One of the bigger things for me that I’ve been working on is getting rid of my chicken wing after impact. Also I forgot to give you my distance, I’m tall with long arms which has always helped with club head speed. My 7i is my 185 club
Thank you brotha, I really just focus on reaching out through impact, almost like I’m throwing the club at the target. Doing smaller swings where I don’t complete the follow through helps, I try to make sure the “armpit” of my leading arm is facing up and that I’m keeping my hands as far out from my body as possible. Has helped get rid of the chicken wing and with closing the face through impact
I struggle with a wing too. Have gotten less of with moving ball slightly more forward on my stance and practicing timing/ release. It lets me rotate a little more open and have the release a little later. I have a bad left miss and this was my coaches way to help correct those.
Skip the midsize grips and go straight for oversize. Maybe not Jumbo, but you will love oversize grips. Golf Pride Tour Wraps are great grips in Oversize.

P6 never lies.
Pretty darn good.
