STOP SQUEEZING!#golf #golflesson #golfswing #wildbillmehlhorn #golflife@BEBETTERGOLF

Monte Scheinblum discusses the detrimental effects of excessive grip tension in the golf swing. By referencing the techniques of 'Wild Bill' Mehlhorn, Monte demonstrates how a loose grip allows for a more natural release and increased clubhead speed. Golfers are encouraged to stop squeezing the club to unlock better rhythm and fluid wrist hinge.

• Excessive grip tension prevents the natural hinging and re-hinging of the wrists.
• A lighter grip allows the golfer to feel the weight of the clubhead throughout the swing.
• Tension in the hands and forearms often leads to a loss of distance and poor release patterns.
• Think of the grip as a hinge rather than a clamp to improve tempo and speed.
• The 'Wild Bill' Mehlhorn approach focuses on finger-based control rather than palm-based squeezing.
