In this comprehensive guide, Scotty of Scottys Golf Grip breaks down the 'Robertson Grip' and the mechanical secrets required for swing success. He focuses on the 'skin fold' grip technique, a specific wrist roll for backswing depth, and the 'Cutting the Grass' drill to develop a consistent inside-out swing path. By following these structured steps and practice routines, golfers can learn to produce a reliable and powerful draw.
The grip starts by placing the top of the handle into the 'skin fold' between the index finger and thumb.
Approach the club at a 45-degree angle rather than grabbing it straight on (90 degrees).
Perform the 'wrist roll' by rotating your lead knuckle toward your chin to allow the club to reach parallel in the backswing.
Practice 'Cutting the Grass' by making 10-rep sets of divots in the same spot to build a 'slot' for your swing plane.
Lining up your toes to the target while swinging 15 degrees inside-out produces a natural, consistent draw.
