PGA-certified instructor Scotty provides a comprehensive 'dream lesson' to a beginner golfer named Hunter, focusing on the proprietary Robertson Grip. The session moves from the range to the studio, covering foundational movements like the 'Wrist Roll' and the 'Right Side Move' before culminating in the 'Cutting the Grass' drill. The results show Hunter doubling his 7-iron distance from 80 yards to over 160 yards with a consistent draw.
The Robertson Grip uses a 'skin fold' and 45-degree angle in the top hand to create a more natural lever.
The 'Wrist Roll' is a critical component that allows the club to reach parallel in the backswing without excessive tension.
Use 'Cutting the Grass' drills—continuous swings through a consistent divot area—to build muscle memory and clubhead control.
Avoid hitting full buckets of balls at first; focus on low, slow swings to get the mechanics in the 'slot' before adding speed.
Practice at the range for two weeks without playing a round to cement new swing changes.
