For the first number of years starting to play golf, a 10 finger grip came naturally. Handicap got to 14 and the course Pro, who had taken me under his wing, said I'd never achieve my full golf potential until I changed my grip to an overlapping. Within a couple months I damaged my right hand, specifically the right little finger, and after the cast was removed and I could grip a golf club the overlapping grip was the only way I could grip it comfortably. Well my golf game improved over all these years since.
Yesterday evening I was THPing and I think it was on this specific forum I read where someone said that they were in their senior years and going to the 10 finger grip helped his game. Today I played with the guys and went to the driving range before the tee time and tried the 10 finger grip. It didn't feel bad at all so I decided I'd play it. Yeah, it felt a little different. But after 9 holes I got used to it better and after the round one of our group players said "Hey Mick, you didn't hit a ball with your normal cut." I quickly re-played the round in my head and realized I hadn't hit a iron shot with the cut too. Next I want to re-grip my driver with that new Golf Pride MCC Plus4 with the larger than normal grip diameter for the lower hand. My right hand is getting harder to make a fist, 71 years old and it's showing in my hands, shoulders, back and knees.
Going to stay with the 10 finger grip and try those new Golf Pride MCC Plus4 grips.
