You should update your Member Swing topic with some good slow-mo including a face-on. I looked quickly but mostly saw DTL views.

Will do! but will have to go to a different range for that because of the way the bays are setup at my usual spot ha

So fun stuff, was tinkering with the revised lead and trail grip when I got home and so far it DEFINITELY feels more solid in motion which was counterintuitive at first since my previous grip felt more solid at address but 'loose' during the swing; we'll see what the range holds for me

what I did notice is that when I take the grip with the club off the ground and then set it down, it becomes more hooded at address so I'll have to be careful about that when setting up

Because you’re used to letting your left hand get into that weak position.

2 to 2.5 knuckles at address (without moving your head to the left to look at them).

Everybody is different. I have small hands and short fingers. I use a ML Cadet glove. For years I used an interlocking grip but never really liked it. Overlap grip too uncomfortable for me. Recently I started using a ten finger grip and its working well. I feel much more control.

I don't have very big hands and uses to have a very palmy grip. After getting some advice on here and watching the grip video have gone to a grip in my fingers. Like @sinikstated it felt so much more solid and strikes were much better.

I've actually recently taken it a step further and realized that as I fixed my grip, I needed a thicker club grip than "convention would dictate". I've since changed to midsize and the feel and results have been night and day (so far).

I have small hands (glove size S) and while the golf pride site says I should be using "undersized", I talked to my fitter and my pro and they both told me to not go lower than "standard".. didn't like the plus4 standard, so just as a test I put on the plus4 in midsize on and despite my small hands, I really like them..  keeps me from squeezing a bit when I start the downswing as I feel I generally have a better grip..

I shot one of my best rounds yesterday, so the results are there as well..

Totally. I basically put 2 extra wraps under a Standard for 3 clubs (wood, mid-iron, wedge) and 4 extra wraps under a Standard for 3 more clubs (they were out of midsize; driver, mid-iron, wedge) and then found over a couple range sessions and a round that while the 2 wraps did feel better than normal, the midsize felt great.

Thanks everyone for the posts.  I am curious on where the initial posting person ended up.  Midsized? or change your grip?
