Episode Description

Todays Monday Mini is inspired from a voicemail from wolfpacker Asher in New Zealand who has a question about his irons.


Asher was listening to our recent ep where Kell was on and was missing to the left with his driver, and Asher is interested to know rather than cutting his shaft, does gripping down achieve a similar outcome?


Nick and Mark run through Asher's question and kick around grip techniques, and talk about some pros who grip down. Mark talks through swing weights and how to ensure that if you dod cut an inch off your shaft, how to ensure your club is weighted appropriately.


And we finish talking about a gun Tour Pro with perhaps the most unfortunate name in golf.
