I saw this in the Digest the other day.

http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2015/04/how-he-hit-that-jordan-spieths-3.html

Long story short, Spieth uses an overlapping grip, but lays his left index finger over his right pinky - the opposite of a typical RH grip.

I have been tinkering with grip strength and right hand position lately. The reason is that I still fight a long, tall hook with mid-irons and am curious if I can solve this hands-only.

Do any of the instructors have an opinion on this technique? Does anyone else happen to have experience trying this?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think it will effect ball flight really but it is way too uncomfortable for me to test it out on the range. The real question is what possessed Speith to try it in the first place?

      Day 14:  I hit a bucket with my 7i and driver, didn’t hit my 7 well but my driver was good.  Played my first “real” 9 holes.  Sure, I had a few mulligans but I kept score.  Lost two balls in the water.  Had to chip from the edge of the water and did pretty good, just rolled too far past the hole.  Par was 33 and I wasn’t double but  I was closer to it than I would have liked.  I had a bogey on 9 so that ended it on a sweet note for me.

      Day 134 - Had a tournament today, played poorly. Same as yesterday where the driving was great, but the second shots were awful. Need to dial that in tomorrow so I don’t finish DFL.

      Day 313: range session. Worked on my feel for getting my hips more open/rotated at impact. Then did a stack session.
