Surely you have watched videos about how to place your hands on the grip, but rare are those videos where we actually talk about the true purpose of the grip while in motion. The grip’s true purpose while in motion is to collect a ball from in front of you, release and deliver it into a flying picture that brings it to its final destination.

I believe this information is quite vital to hitting better, more consistent golf shots. Enjoy the video!

    He’s just trying to sound scientific with words like ‘static’ and ‘dynamic’even though he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

    The “grip” is always static when locked up to the golf club handls. It’s the wrist joints and forearms that are “dynamic”.

    Great video and succinct as ever. Your analysis of the handgrip at address and at impact perfectly explains how the clubhead changes position throughout the golf swing.

    Nice video, Shawn, but there was one biomechanical error, but it was a small error which is negligible to swing mechanics. Overall you were spot on.

    Good vid. It’s amazing how much distance and pain-free motion one can gain by getting their release correct through their understanding of the grip.

Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.

Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.

You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.
