Grip is important!

Look, the point I was trying to make is that the grip is not as important as people want to make it out to be. If you grip it in the fingers and it's anywhere within a range from, say, Ben Hogan to Paul Azinger, then you're probably fine. Hit the ball and see what you're doing. At 15.2, any grip within that range is well, well down on the list of things to work on and improve.

I agree that it isn't an important factor in solid contact. I was simply pointing out an inconsistent grip (from ignorance about the grip) causes inconsistent ball flight.

Well, it was important to me and high on my list, as I thank Sean for telling me of the trigger index finger, as I shot my all time low today using it, an 82 with less than 15 full rounds played in my life. And now it is a 14.3. So, thanks Sean for helping me with my grip. My index finger is now in the right position and it has made a big difference.
