My grip

[tgwise]

I have only used a baseball style grip. I have tried inter-locking , overlapping grips I feel as though I will lose the club and get someone hurt. I have recently started hitting down and thru the ball which I am getting good results with. My question is: would a different style of grip benefit me any? Is the baseball grip a bad thing or just a preference? Not sure if a change would help or hinder me. Thanks in advance.

i think you will be fine with your current grip, its whatever feels comfortable as long as the setup is right, and like you say, your getting good results!

My grandpa used a baseball grip his whole playing life and that man was a solid golfer. I'd say find something that feels comfortable for you and stick with it.

I still sometimes like the feel of a having you your right hand thumb on top of the grip instead of the V shape. I think Tiger still does it with the thumb on top, I dont do it but I like the feel of it

Not too many years ago the man who held the record for shooting his age or better (since deceased) played crosshanded his whole life... And, a baseball grip has been played on the PGA tour. So, while the Vardon (overlap) and interlocking grips are likely the most popular and recommended choices, if you get better results with a different kind of grip, I would not worry about it. However, with an 18 handicap, I would suggest giving the "normal grips" a serious chance to see if you can improve. There is a reason most golfers use the overlapping or the interlocking grips -- they eventually get better or more comfortable using one of these two choices. There is no absolute best recommendation for every golfer, only the most successful range of grips and swing characteristics that work for the majority of golfers.
