Scotty from Scottys Golf Grip demonstrates the effectiveness of the Robertson Grip, an unconventional technique where the lead hand is placed upside down on the club. By flushing pure shots with various 'junk' clubs—including a 1930s wedge, a kids' driver, and a left-handed wood—he illustrates that superior ball striking comes from grip technique rather than expensive modern equipment.
The Robertson Grip involves placing the lead (top) hand in an upside-down position on the handle.
Equipment quality is secondary to the golfer's ability to square the clubface 'surface' at impact.
Using vintage or poorly-fitted clubs can highlight whether a golfer's technique is fundamentally sound.
Traditional grips (interlocking/overlapping) are not the only way to achieve pure ball striking.
For unconventional setups (like hitting a left-handed club right-handed), play the ball further back in the stance to square the face.
