With the 10 finger or baseball grip
I have seen people bash on it and im not quite sure why
Whhy is it bad>

In my Warbird Bag,
I have
Burner Driver 460cc 9.5* Stiff
Three and Five Woods
Precise- 21* and 24* hybridsCCi Cast Irons-4-AW 52* and 56*/14 Vokey 60*/8and i play TP Black or ProV1


Well its what a lot of people start out with, but the usual golfer switches to the more traditional overlap or interlock after a while. Its not that its bad, its just a "beginners" grip.
Sticks
driver- X460 tour 9.5 Aldila NVS 75
irons- X-forged 3-PW TT BlackGold stiff
wedges- x-tour vintage 52, 56, 60
hybrid- FT-hybrid #2 17* putter- Sophia 33" "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough."_Mario Andretti

Like anything in life, if it works for you and it doesnt F(*^&^% with anyone, knock yourself out!

Hey, Bob Estes cracked the top 20 using it, so like tbray said, if it works for you, go nuts.

Driver: Nike VRS Covert

Irons: Titleist AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Cleveland CG12 60* 56* & 52* 

Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 1.5


I think what people find is the main problem with it, is that it doesnt join your hands together is any way, so they can work completely separately, which you dont particularly want in a golf swing.

In my bag:
Driver: G10 10.5 TFC 129 Shaft

IMO, the ten finger grip (it isn't a baseball grip, contrary to popular belief) lets the right hand (or left hand for a lefty) have too much influence in the swing. You have to be much more conscious of pulling through with your left side than you do with either the Vardon or the interlock grip. Just from messing around with it on the range I found that for me it tends to inhibit a smooth release. As stated earlier, the hands need to work as a unit, and the ten finger grip makes it much more difficult to accomplish that. It's a grip that is most often recommended for people with unusually small hands, like small women or junior golfers.

There is nothing wrong at all with the grip, if it suits you then it's the 'right' grip.

Besides who gives a flying f*ck what other people think of you, unless your paying them or asking them for help, ignore them.

precisely! i would really refrain from using it, unless it really does work great for you.
