@arturo28mx,

It may not be a "Eureka" moment. But you might be in a better position with your right hand that could be built back into your interlocking grip or it could end up being your permanent grip.

A pro once told me, as long as your hands are in the proper place, it doesn't matter what you do with your little finger of your right hand.

I figured that out. My grandchildren are Schwartzman. Their father grew up in "Flatbush" and at one time was a "drummer" in a band there.

I was talking to my son's high school golf coach last night. He grabbed a club to show me something he thought might help and I was surprised to see he uses the ten finger grip.

I'm surprised it surprised you.

You guys know what I think of the golf gods. They're a bunch of a-holes and can go... well, you know.

Ha! Love it. Golf fixes initially feel good, like going off medication. But then you start hearing voices again.

@arturo28mx I'm going to try a 10 finger grip at the range today. I'm very curious if you've lost any length, and also whether your accuracy has improved. 

In the beginning I was strongly warned by friends (very good golfers) not to use the baseball grip. I was told the baseball grip has a limited ceiling for getting better. So I have always used a Vardon grip. But I have noticed this year when I did league play that a good number of the guys use the baseball grip and play pretty damn well. 

I have a chronic problem with laying off (usually at the top) causing very sketchy accuracy with my irons and this is why I am stuck playing for bogies. I've tried many different things to fix it, like using a neutral grip and standing closer to the ball. Anyway, the season is just about over here, I see no harm in trying out something new.

@arturo28mx Well I tried baseball grip for about a week but I did not like it. I feel like I'm "holding on" to the club instead of releasing. All my clubs lost distance. And I was starting to hook pretty bad too.

I'm back to the Vardon, which works well for me. But I'm glad I tried something new - you never know. That's why I come to this website, to learn new things.

Yep! Tried the "ten finger" a few years back and I couldn't make it work for me at all! I started out using the interlock (because that's what Jack did), but eventually switched to the Vardon. I had way too much right hand in the ten finger grip!
