10 fingers all day for me, interlocking just feels uncomfortable.
Same. Thumbs don’t even go down the shaft.
I’ve tried locking my pinky finger and it hurts after a full round. I switched to the baseball grip and it felt more natural for me. I find I have a bit more power this way.
@@dmanthonyX dude same. Interlocking hurts my fingers
Feels like my RH pinky is bruised after constant interlock play - and as a result my grip starts coming apart creating a space between my hands. It’s early, but the 10 finger grips feels really connected to club.
Same, 10 finger smashing!!!!!
the baseball grip seems to help me keep the club square at impact and it seems as tho I hit the ball farther and just more consistently
As an older golfer i changed to baseball grip because i felt i was losing distance with the vardon grip ( finger aches and pains) more than 2 years ago . i think once you get use to a change it becomes second nature , now i find it difficult to go back to a vardon
Dude it’s actually such a game changer in my opinion. With the 10 finger I actually feel like I can release the club thru impact and im not holding off the face and fearing the shit out of a hook. I have huge ass hands too and my grip tends to get too strong with an interlocking style for some reason. The 10 finger just feels natural and my hands fit on the grip so nice and neutral without any manipulation. I’ll tell you what, it’s a god send for the short game too. I hit the nicest little spinners with this grip. Soft forearms and just let the club and bounce do the work. It’s so odd it’s not promoted more because I think it’s the most natural way to hold the club and make it most like other natural promotions in sports.. like a baseball bat swing or holding a tennis racket, if you will. I really don’t understand how it’s so taboo.
I agree 100%, I was always a overlap player until I had three surgeries on my right hand so needed a grip where my right hand would take over a little bit more on impact because my swing plane was good but I was always leaving the face open. Introduce baseball grip and now swing plane is still good and face is square on impact because the right hand is taking over a little bit more so has been super good. And I agree with the short game for some reason you have way more control with the short chips
Baseball grip and Jumbomax grips! (5 handicap) 50 years old and it’s more comfortable than any other option.
I’m 70 and a single digit . Some arthritic and sore hands from all the practice and play. I switched to jumbomax ultralight grips on a few clubs and then put them on entire set. Game changers. Went to ten finger and my hands feel great and have incredible control, more speed and power , got rid of the block right with old grip and won’t ever go back. I’ve been playing 58 years and after playing a few rounds it just feels more natural, controllable and powerful. Can hit balls all day with no sore fingers.
Today I switched to a baseball grip after trying out a "feel drill" I saw in another RUclips video with the hands apart. I took a real swing with the hands apart and topped it. I then put the hands together and it felt like butter every swing since.
It drastically changed my consistency from swing to swing. I can't explain it biomechanically, but for some reason switching from interlocking to baseball grip helped me to consistently find the bottom of my swing from the very first attempt. Even my practice swings felt so much more natural and effortless.
I'm with you man I can't get used to interlocking grip I felt like I had no control or power but with the baseball grip I feel like I have a lot more control of the club and can hit it more flush and further to
Same with me but i find the interlocking messes up my backswing more than anything, like really stiff backswing. Once i switched to baseball, everything just clicked and i could shallow the club with ease & fluidly. It's weird and i really don't know if it's just biomechanics or my technique, but it's certainly strange.
I was missing so much contact when i was using interlocking. Also had a slice. I switched to a strong grip with my top hand and went 10 finger. Amazing how much more control and power you get. The sound alone with contact is unbelievable
Two reasons I use the 10 finger grip.
I’m over 70 and my hand strength is not what it used to be.
Helps me feel the club face.
the 10 finger and baseball grip are two different grips. On the baseball, the thumb on the left hand is wrapped around the club. The ten finger grip has the thumb on top of the grip. There is more wrist flexion with the baseball grip.
I converted 3yrs ago after a lifetime of overlap & went with the bigger MidSized Plus 4 Align Grips all at the same time. In the other sports I play, Ice Hockey & Tennis, it would just be wrong NOT to have your stronger dominant hand fully on the grip for power & control - no one in tennis I've ever seen would ever consider a two-hand backhand with both hands not fully on the grip for power & control. Every young golfer should be taught 10-finger - it's the future.
evry young player, the first time you give them a club, they do naturally grip with 10 fingers. Then they are told it's wrong
I've used interlock all my life buy recently it's been smashing my pinky so I switched to baseball and it feels much better and more natural
So glad I watched this video. I changed to baseball grip ages ago and many people have commented on why I have done it. I switched because as I got older this really helped with extra power and just felt more comfortable. As I got so many comments I tried to day to switch back and it felt horrible. I have to be careful not to steer the club and I can be more prone to overswing and my right hand losing its full connection with club, but I just need to watch out for this not creeping in. Anyway, after seeing your video I am going to stick with my baseball grip - thanks so so much 😊🙏
I am 33 now witz handicap 4.5 and I am playing Interlock for 22 years now. Currently I don't play bad, however I struggle with some random slices. Tried ten finger grip 3 days ago, and played my second tournament 2 over par, it was almost impossible for me to hit a bad shot, so I guess this will be my new grip from now on.
Mark, I must say that is one hell of a good golf swing you've got there! My own personal experience is that as a teenager I couldn't get on with an overlap or interlock grip due to grip loosening at the top. I switched to baseball grip when I was 19 and never looked back. It's always given me confidence to really grip it and rip it with a driver, plus confidence in striking with irons.
Same here, the end of the shaft felt so loose with the interlocked grip and it was flippy. Since I changed to the baseball grip (grew up playing baseball) my ball striking has been so consistent and I get easy power
I play a baseball grip and I’ve had multiple instructors try and fix it. You hit the nail on the head especially with long clubs. I feel more stability. I can interlock just fine with my shorter clubs, but I stick to baseball all the way.
I've used the 10 fingers on all clubs for about 6 years. I think I improved distance since the change.
AGG is back!! This channel helped me go from 18 to single figures with mind set and practice... nice one Mark!
Tried interlock for almost a year, very inconsistent. A month ago I switched back to 10 finger literally in the middle of the front 9 & instantly became more consistent. As a former baseball player this what I know and will be sticking to
After 50 yrs yrs in woodworking of all types i still have all 10 fingers right pinky is a bit numb, the other day i tried baseball grip on the range & will now be using all 10, but i was having some trouble switching from driver or 3 wood to irons but wow just killing it with my 3 wood like never before .( the shoe rubs both ways )
Thank you so much for the honest review. I too have been teaching young players to only use interlocking or overlapping grips. I have lost some distance lately and have been experimenting with the ten finger grip. I feel way more control and power. You are absolutely correct, we tend to be products of our teachings and sometimes don’t experiment enough. Love your content
I use the 10 finger grip with driver only. I get more power from a better release and the ball rarely goes right on me. I use an overlap grip on every other club except putter where I use a reverse overlap. I’m interested in trying 10 fingers on all my clubs but have yet to attempt it.
Hi. Had a stroke that left me with balance and coordination issues. Changed to baseball grip and pause at top to reset found it very helpfull.
Hi Mark - love your to-the-point style. I have a question. I’m 5’4” , 54 yrs old and have small hands, but still manage an approx 16 handicap. Recently switched to baseball grip and love it… EXCEPT… I don’t know what to do with my left thumb. Sometimes it gets ‘stuck’ on the way down and I’m at risk of getting injured. Maybe my RH is too tight on top of it? I do think it’s probably a RH placement problem. Also maybe I’m trying to hit it too hard. I get max 140 club speed and hit driver about 200 running to 230…. is it too ambitious to think I’ll ever hit it much further?
Bar an attempt to use the interlock for about 15 months, I have used the baseball grip started with it at 13 and still going with it at 65, I just felt comfortable with it.
I think you're right. I changed from overlapping to baseball grip years ago by chance. I was experimenting hitting balls and liked the feel. Tried it on the course and started hitting it straighter. I found I can hit it just as far with a smoother easier swing. It makes releasing the club easier for me. Now only the baseball grip feels natural. By the way, some past tour players have used it. Notably Beth Daniel, Bob Estes (still plays on Champions Tour) and Dave Barr. Kudos for your open-minded approach!
I think Scott Piercy plays it too
Jim Furyk and Paul Azinger, too...
I learned with 10 finger grip and only recently switched to interlocked last year or so. but it turned out it wasn't the issue at all.
I've been using 10 fingers for driver's and wood, and it feels good. I use interlocking for irons. I'm very novice in golf, but interchanging the grip has been helpful for me
Thanks for good honest review. Baseball grip for me. I hit further and straighter. I did long ago use a 10 finger grip but that injured my lead hand thumb.
Agree 100%. It's just whatever you learn early on and what you're comfortable with. Since my dad taught me to golf he let me hold the club however it felt comfortable for me. If I would have learned from an instructor I have no doubt he would have "corrected" my grip to the more common and accepted interlock or overlap. Strangely enough, my dad played with an interlocking grip.
I use the baseball grip. Switched to the interlock last season but ended up with some wrist pain that went away when switching back to the baseball again. 9!index, trending lower now.
I went to a 10-finger grip with age as I could no longer satisfactorily hold onto the club otherwise. I gained distance immediately. One initially feels the right hand is in control, but "throwing" the club with the right hand (right hand golfer) ultimately keeps your head behind the ball and down----versus "pulling" down with the left hand, in which your head and body tend to lurch forward and down.
I've just returned to golf after 30 years away.
After six months back using my go to interlocking grip and all the pain and inconsistentcy tjat goes with it I've moved to basaball grip and the improvement is seriously good.
i am a 2.1 hcp. use baseball grip and the cobra t-rail irons. easy !!!!
Fair play, well done on the low handicap
Hi Mark! Started golfing last summer and have played multiple times a week ever sense (in season), absolutely love it.
You have just about taught me everything ik. It wasn’t until recently I realized my grip (baseball) is different then a lot of others use, I tried to interlock/overlap but both felt horribly uncomfortable.
Funny enough I’ve never even played baseball, so it’s not like I’m continuing those habits.
All that to say, this video gave me so much relief that my grip is okay, where I feel some teachers are very hard on this style
never used any other grip, 4 hcp.. works for me.. and what works for you is unique to you.😀
same, never used anything other than the 10 finger. Have tried the overlap for a swing or two and would just go back to the natural way we grip everything else we swing
One person. Moe Norman.
He had 10 finger and was considered the best ball striker of all time.
That's all I need to know.
Baseball gripper. 31 yrs old, never had lessons (until recently) been playing on and off for 15 years. Currently play off 9.7.
I've literally been playing six months maybe a total of ten times out with guys that play twice a week. I started with interlocking on my driver and it was a disaster, literally yesterday switched to baseball grip, I'm a former division 1 tennis player with a two handed back hand and boom birdied three holes because I'm finally able to control the driver with this grip. Love it love it and only came up a stroke off the win. 🎉
I changed yesterday to 10 finger for longer clubs and still used overlap on wedges (I don't use irons only driver hybrid, wood, wedges). I was going a little right but shot the lowest front 9 of my life. More distance with driver and woods= less shots to green. Going to experiment some more.
Tried the baseball grip yesterday....and was absolutely crushing it. I felt I had more feel over the club head, and seemed easier to hit down with compression. Playing baseball and softball my whole life, the feeling just seemed more natural.
Great analysis! Validated my new 10 finger grip necessitated by two semi-arthritic thumb joints. I'm 51 and went from hitting 260 average to a long of 330 with this grip so I'm all in! The irons are a more difficult adjustment for consistency but they also go farther.
I've had a wicked pull hook the last three years and after watching these videos I'm more than willing to try out the baseball grip. Hope it works!
I’m using 10 finger more and more now having grown up with overlap, then moving to interlock. I find I have way more control over all of my long clubs with 10 finger. Just feel more confident, particularly with Driver. I do however still interlock with wedges, and softer shots in general. It’s a weird one, and it’s funny to me that people get really hung up on this, but for me, I’ve had massive improvement with driving (distance and accuracy), and get at least 10 - 20 yards more on all irons. Each to their own, but will be interesting to see if it does become more popular. I wouldn’t have even considered it 10 years ago.
Yeah I am 100% the same was always interlocked grip and have come back into the game after 10 years and just found baseball to be a lot better in some ways. I think it's also because we have played golf in the past and we know the biomechanics of the swing etc so even with baseball grip we are able to take the club away correctly and create a good swing plane which of course helps
Ive been using baseball grip with the thumbs pointing towards the head of the club. No overlap or interlock needed and my aim and control are fine.
I’ve gone back and forth between grips for years but after going to a golf simulator during winter months for the first time, I saw the results. 20-25 more Driver yards with the baseball grip with little effort. It just feels more comfortable and natural
I've experimented with the jumbo grips that Bryson DeChambeau uses. The size of those grips got me to try gripping the club with the thumb on the LEFT hand wrapped around the club. The heal of the RIGHT hand resting on top of the left hand thumb, instead of extending down the shaft into the palm of the right hand. There's a lot of discussion of a "long left thumb" as opposed to a "short left thumb". What about NO LEFT THUMB???
First of all, thank you for this discussion. I have found little to no information on the 10 finger grip. I must use a 10 finger to take pressure off a fused thumb of my Rt. hand. and a fused wrist in my Lt. hand (LH Swing). Are there any tips anyone has? Position of grip in fingers? Any suggestions would be helpful. When I make good contact it really flies but consistency is the problem. Thanks in advance for any input.
Mark... I realize this comment is long after the video release but I just came across THIS channel of yours and found this video...I'm 74 and changed to a true baseball grip several years ago...Essentially I gripped the club like a bat and just kept it that way... My right hand is very
"strong" on the club...I also changed to midsize grips...The result?... I hit the ball straighter and farther than I used to and lowered my scores... My longtime partners made fun of it in the beginning but not anymore... We don't have to look for my ball!... I'd recommend anyone to try it.
Being a baseball playing American, the baseball grip is logical. Once I went to jumbo grips and the baseball grip, everything magically straightened out and added distance to each club. Fewer thin/fat shots also.
I've just tried 10 fingers where my pinky just slightly goes onto my left hand after years of interlocking. I know feel more comfortable and hitting ball flush much more often after a lot of fat iron shots.
I started doing the baseball grip just recently. Was doing the interlock but my fingers are small and I feel I have more control and power with the baseball grip
I used the baseball grip for as long as I can remember... tried the other versions- to no avail---- im so used to it and have great confidence with everything in the bag, no need to change
I play well and usually win in my grouping of guys I play with...
never once did any of them inquire as to my grip--
usually they say'' he's dam consistent''
ill keep it my lil secret
golf [ aside from a few necessary stroke body mechanic movements, and stances] is in large part, feel.
different strokes for different folks as the saying goes.
Just changed to ten finger grip and feels and plays much better for me I feel I can control the club left hand dominant and my right hand is along for the ride with interlock I felt my right hand was taking over and turning the ball over to much.
I'm unsure how other younger players are taught, but my father made me start with baseball and I played it for more than a decade before I started experimenting with interlock/overlap. I'm very right hand dominant and it's possible that's why I always had a small draw when using baseball. After switching to other grips styles it was more straight/slight fade. I was playing a round the other day in some chilly weather and felt I was struggling with feeing the club so I switched to baseball on the back 9. This ended up being a noticeable difference as I shot 5 strokes better on the back 9 with much more consistent iron play. I honestly am not sure why I swapped to begin with other than curiosity but I'm thinking of playing with baseball again to see how it goes.
I’ve been playing once or twice a year for about 35yrs. With an interlocking grip. Had my second yearly game at the weekend and the second finger on my right hand is red raw and painful from my grip. I’m intending to take some lessons and get out more so for the sake of my finger I’m looking to switch to either overlapping or baseball grip.
Totally hearing this… I mean, look at Fitzpatrick around the green with his grip!
Long shots I prefer overlapping with my right on the left, on short shots (
Excellent stuff. However, as an ex cricketer I cannot find any answers as to why the thumb goes onto the handle. Why can’t you play with all digits around the club? Is there a valid reason? Thanks.
Used interlocking for pretty much 25 years. But I now the beginnings of arthritis in the fingers on my right hand. Today, for the first time I played 9 holes with the baseball grip. Means I can put less pressure on the club. Probably gripping it so much lighter. The result - less hand pain. Works for me.
I use the baseball grip as of late. I’ve done interlocking and I CAN do it, but it hurts my fingers after a while. I had a weird time where I was trying different things and one thing was using my left hand (leading) I would make it very strong, and then my right hand I’d put into the little pocket it made and my thumb would be on top of the club pointing down at the ball. I hit the ball incredibly far like that, but it felt unstable. Been thinking on trying that again.
Interlock for me starts right and slices right. Overlap is a uncontrollable draw. Baseball grip feels natural but inconsistent because of grip pressure. I don't have the grip pressure problem with the other 2 so I use the baseball grip. I will figure out a routine eventually make it work
you sound like a beginner so I will not listen to your opinion
I use baseball grip for my longer irons (4,5,6) and find it helpful. More fingers touching gives me more confidence with not only longer clubs, but clubs you tend to swing faster.
Another question for you Mark - why is it not more widly acknowledged in golf help videos that there is a big difference between top and bottom hand dominance? For example Bob Charles and Phil mickelson are top handed lefties - i.e. they are right handed in everything else and the top hand is stronger. I would be very interested to hear how this affects the golf swing. I am one of these top handers - and for me it is always hard to get power in the bottom hand (my left hand), my top hand completely takes over. Yet a huge am
ount of golfing videos assume everyone is right handed and also assume everyones dominant hand is the bottom hand.
after playing cricket most of my life and getting into golf over the last year - this grip has always felt so natural. The feeling of the interlocking feels so weird. I do tend to fade the ball and think it could be to do with my grip. To counteract this i grip tighter and close the face. Any thoughts would be great
I pure my irons more often than not with 10 finger grip since switching. Only driver i struggle with it but i think it may be a shaft length issue and will try shorter driver.
Oh man, I spent most of my junior years using baseball grip, nothing else felt comfortable. Spent a winter constantly gripping and working on some swings with interlocking grip and now can't go back. My swing is much more in sync and control now.
I am using a grip in which I put my right hand on the club with all fingers touching the club and then I overlap the left hand onto the right. I am a right handed golfer and this grip seems to work good for me. I feel I get much more power into the strike with the right hand in such a grip. Try it!!
This is my exact grip. Started doing it around 3 years ago. Love it.
Ya I just hit nice high shots today with 10 finger. I have been using interlock for 10 years. It honestly hurts my pinky and forefinger. I feel I have more control with 10 finger, probably from the fact I'm not subconsciously feeling pain. I also switch my backhand to be neutral from strong. Lots of changes today and I hit some of the most accurate shots in a long time.
I do feel like you have to be conscious of hand positions a little bit more in the swing. But comfortability is key for me. That should let my timing sync up better. Chipping is on fire too.
Cheers
I've been playing for 30 years and the last 25 of those I've been fighting a hook. I've gone back and forth between vardon and interlocking, but I'm now gonna give baseball a try - my theory is that my right hand can't get a stable hold of the club and remain neutral - as it grips under the load of a swing it ends up a little strong, which causes closed face at impact. So I'm gonna see if i can keep that right hand more on top / neutral with baseball grip.
Alrite Mark, started to play golf late 2019 had a few lessons, COVID hit then July 2020 did my back in that required an op and I had 11 months off work. Not played golf since but went range yesterday and couldn't hit a thing. Last 5 balls tried a baseball grip and had better results, felt so much more natural. Should I stick with it if I've limited time practising and playing? Cheers Chris
Should have read the other comments first. I'm going with a baseball grip. Hopefully booking some lessons and they'll be ok with it
As I’ve lost wrist flexibility with age, now 63, I have a hard time getting good wrist hinge without my grip opening at the top. Is the baseball grip something that could help with this problem? If not, any additional advice about the best way to address this issue would be welcomed.
i’ve broken my right index finger before. i’ve always felt strange with overlap/interlock grip and i’m thinking my lack of grip with that finger could be a factor. my next range session will definitely involve experimenting with this. i’ve always thought this was more comfortable but all instruction has steered me otherwise.
I recently snapped a tendon in my left pinky which basically makes it out of action so definitely considering baseball grip for wood / driver at least
Yeah I'm the same I was always overlap grip until I had surgeries on my right hand and then I struggled to turn over on impact leaving the face open. Going to baseball grip change this immediately with a little bit more control and take over of the right hand on impact just have to make sure you don't get flicky on the swing and that's way better
I’ve used this grip from the start, just felt natural to me (and I play baseball). Have tried to switch but never works out lol
I use baseball grip most of the time, but interlocking when hitting in rough or sand to keep the face flat through contact.
Went baseball about 5 years ago due to a left wrist injury. Find it gives me more control and a lot less “cover drive” high wafty right shots. Tried going back to interlock and it felt awful..
I use hand over hand no interlock. Feels natural, comfortable, and powerful
I’ve been using interlock for months now and I’m used to it. 10 finger grip just feels better tho as I use it for chipping. I don’t know what to do
Ive been playing golf 3 years now and was taught interlock grip from the beginning and still to this day before every shot i struggle to get my grip and stand behind the ball faffing to get comfortable and just generally dont feel comfortable, ive just gripped my club with baseball grip and can grip without much thought and feels comfortable, so gonna give it a go down the driving range
How did it go?
What size grip is on your driver?
Moe Norman, reputably one of golfs best ever strikers, used a baseball gtip
Interesting. Today I changed my grip and I was surprised at the result. I’ve been doing interlocking for a few years as a lefty (but I’m right handed in everything but golf) and I sliced them all the time. Changed to baseball today and they were going farther and straighter than ever before. Why didn’t I change my grip earlier!?!? 😂
Are you sure it's not to weaken the right hand?
Just switched to 10 finger grip and it changed my game. It feels so much more natural.
I just started
Using this on my driver and my drives are straight and more accurate than when I unlock my pinky fingers. My ball also is traveling much farther.
How do you mentally adjust to playing with much more skilled golfers in your group. Sometimes feel pressured to play better to keep up with with their standard or pace. Even if they are cool about your game
Please know that we do not give a monkey's about how you play...as long as you don't slow the group down, we don't care how good or bad you are. Please do not feel embarrassed at hitting horrendous shots, or feel you need to apologise for said bad shots, or feel like you need to portray a sense of "even I am disgusted by that shot, it's beneath my usual standard." It's ok, honestly. I reiterate, we don't care. And I mean that in the nicest possible way 😊 lol
Question. I've always struggled with swinging too fast. The problem is exacerbated now by getting old and simply not being able to keep up with myself. How do I slow down? If I merely try to swing slower it just feels like I'm leaving time in the swing to second guess everything.
In the alternative, what's a good way to establish a good tempo at the beginning of a round?
this is how I improved my rhythm pretty quickly.... just search for " BEN HOGAN Five Lessons Training Exercise" here on the tube. Having suffered from the same issue as you, (swinging fast from the top), this fixed it for me
I used to swing fast no matter what. Could not slow down. True reason was because I was all hand and arms dominant. Learning to swing from the ground up really works. The speed is controlled with the legs and ground, not the arms and hands.
I played field hockey from as soon as i could hold a stick for 40 years. Cannot do the interlock grip. I really want to put a fat grip on a driver and try it.
For me it’s the opposite cuz I played baseball my whole life, so I feel uncomfortable with the golf grip. Done 10 finger grip my whole golf playing now and it works fine
I just have more confidence with a ten finger grip. For me it feels like I have even more control over the club face with all ten fingers gripping the club. I’ve used all grips and the one that feels most natural is the baseball grip. But I think most Americans would feel more comfortable with a ten finger grip seeing how most of us played some form of baseball during our lives
10 finger grips gives you more control over the club weight. This grip is good if you do not have strong hands or hands that are just not strong enough to control the golf club
I use 10finger grip personally i feel like you dont have less control of the club because you have more contact with the club i feel the cause from error from it is because of the increase in speed so it leaves less room for error.

My whole life was an interlocking grip. Anything else was not the right feel for me. Been chasing more right hand speed lately and at the range, it wasn't a good session for the first 50 balls. Said, what the heck, lets try sonething different. Wrapped my left thumb, and that was it. Control, power, speed, compression, acvuracy was up in spades. Thought, no way I could use this on my wedges. Wrong... controlling the face was so easy, and using mt 54° between the 100 and the 125 yards flag, still straight was surprising. Came home hit 100 foam balls with my 6 iron. No going back for me.
i interlock and my pinky is starting to hurt i think it broke a few years ago. considering going baseball
I’ve used a ‘baseball grip’ since I picked up a club. I just cannot use any other form of grip. I’m off 8 so I go alright - but I’ve always wondered how much better I may have been if I was coached rather than ‘self taught’. Too old to change now!
I use this grip
Couldnt lock my fingers as a kid and never changed as i got older. 30 years in and i feel like im going to let go of the club if i try it now. My daughter started at age 6 and couldnt hold the weight unless she used 10 fingers.
It would be nice to see your numbers Mark with 10 finger Vs your normal grip 😊
I went to ten fingers 4 years ago and never looked back. Erased my hook. Club stays in same position after I swing. With a conventional grip my fingers always moved after the swing. Always wondered why. Now I realize the conventional grip wasn’t natural for me.
Mo Norman used Bball grip
