So while playing a match against my partner I fell apart in the first 9 and fell down by 5 holes.

As we came around to the back I made a grip change and put the club more into the lifeline of my left hand ( right handed so top hand )
Boom. Out drove him, straight with a little draw at times. I managed to come back to within 1 hole.

Anyone grip the club like this? Any forseeable reasons to stop doing it? I felt it helped me keep my left wrist flatter and under better control, which was translating into straighter shots.

In my bag:

Big Bertha 3 Wood

Top you mean the one closest to the butt end of the club? Because when i hear top i think the one that goes ontop of the other, if so then you have a cross grip, because usually for a righty the right hand is wrapped overtop the left hand.

But more in the lifeline of the left hand, its a presonal preference, there is no wrong answer here. I would say if it helps you out, go for it. I play with people with strange grips and they can kick some butt on the golf course.

No good players have the club in the lifeline of their top hand.

I start my grip under the left thumb pad...keeping the top side of the clubs grip (the part of the grip you see at address) and then i just wrap around that into a Vardon grip...im not sure what your mentioning by the "lifeline"? but i was told to do this through a video by a very good instructor named Martin Chuck. He also developed the Tourstriker training club which has helped me immensely on consistent contact.

anyways...by lifeline you mean...?

Proper Golf Club Grip

What is the secret to a great golf game? A perfect golf swing. A great golf swing begins with proper golf club grip . Golf pros, executives, weekend hackers, and average Joes from all over the world will say, that for you to have a perfect golf swing, you must get a grip. A proper golf club grip that is. You may not have known, but there is not just one proper golf club grip – there are many.

The Vardon Overlap is the one most used by the best golfers. This grip is also called the overlapping grip, because the overlapping of your hands help them work together.

The Vardon Overlapping grip is done by taking the little finger on the trailing hand and place it between the index and middle finger on the lead hand (for right-handed golfers, the lead hand is the left). The lead hand thumb should fit in the lifeline of the trailing hand.

Uh, yeah. I said the top hand. And the grip.

Not the trail hand and the thumb.

no need. why don't you grab a club, take a grip with your top hand and your handle going through the lifeline. you're not going to be able to hinge your wrists.

      That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.

      No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.

      I'm bad about taking pictures, but here are a few Hole 1 on Duke, looking toward the green. The elevated green with bunkers surrounding it was a theme. The other theme was pin placements that were tough - this one is pretty far left. There were basically no easy pins on this day.     Hole 3 at Pine Needles. An extremely cool hole. Hole 5 at Pine Needles. The picture doesn't do the green site justice. Green of 6 at Southern Pines. A wild green, and a really cool setting at the edge of the property: Hole  Tee shot on 5 at Tobacco Road. Flag is on the flag, the huge fairway is to the right. Hole 8 at Tobacco Road. Downhill, medium length par 3 with this pin in the front part of the green. Really cool looking shot. A look at the pin placement and cottage on Tobacco Road 14. I hit one of my best shots of the trip here, to about 15 feet.

      Yes, but season 2 being all of six episodes is a bit of a let-down, even if the season itself wasn't.
