Hi guys!

Long term lurker, first time poster.

Curious if anyone has has had success with such a grip for a RH player.  TLDR; I ruined my grip and game trying to cure driver slice-- was a bogey golfer but just couldn't get off tee.  Tried strengthening grip on both hands but that just amplified slices and caused sporadic pull hooks. (Probably over the top swing)

Used to be a decent iron player and could get around course okay.  Now I have shanks with shorter clubs and don't feel comfortable over ball.  This grip is only one that seems to minimize shanks and square face.

Not much analysis, literature, or instruction out there on differing hand strengths so curious if I should continue down this road or go back to drawing board. 

Cheers!

Can't really answear your question, but I think this is probably the best thread out there about grip (You've probably seen it):

Like this Shawn Clements video about grip aswell:

Just remember there are no absolutes in golf as is often said here. If you feel weaker right hand grip is helping you with current swing, that is probably good to use/experiment around.

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

      Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question.

      Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.

      A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
