I don't mean going from Golf Pride to Lamkin, I mean how you hold the club.
I've always been an interlock guy. Never understood how people could do anything else. At my last lesson, my coach had me strengthen my grip a little and fixed something I was doing with my right index finger. With those changes, my swing went all wonky. So I started experimenting--I tried overlap and ten-finger, and found that I'm *way* more comfortable with ten-finger.
I spent some time on the range and in a hitting bay working with it, and I think I'm a convert. I just feel like I have a lot more control of the club that way. My coach linked a video (I take lessons at GolfTEC) explaining the differences in the different grips, and it confirmed what I felt--with ten-finger you have more fingers on the grip, so for some people it feels like you have more control.
Anybody else experiment with a grip change? How did it work out for you?
