Before you flame me, i did use the search but wasnt satisfied with what i read.

Is there any pros/cons using the 10 finger grip (baseball)? I seem to be more cormftable with it after trying all the 3 grips. I can interlock for driving so that i get a tight and confident grip, but with irons specially with low irons, i seem to get a nice high ball flight which i like but (the bad part) i cant get the long irons to work as well. Like most of you think its seems a bit odd to use that grip but we all know golf is about feel, and for me it feels good enough and makes me confident. Now to the other part, can it affect my game or slow my progress as i keep polishing my game? Any suggestions to try and get used to the other grips? i have medium sized hand. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing wrong with the 10 finger grip. Many people use it and even some PGA pros. The only knock against it is that it encourages some players to use too much wrist during the takeaway.

I had my friend start using it on the range to correct his push fades. It helps him feel a proper release. He started hitting the ball better immediately. If it works well for you, then stick with it!

The important thing is to position the Vs formed by your thumb and forefinger in a neutral position - Pointing somewhere between your chin and right ear is good.
