re: Anyone here use the 10-finger "baseball" grip when gripping the club?

I played baseball growing up and through high school. I didn't start playing golf until about age 4-5 years ago at age 33-34, and tried the traditional golf grip with my right pinky interlapping under my left index but I never felt I had control of the club with that grip. I will admit that I did not take any lessons early on like I should have, but I did go to the range a decent bit when I first started but it still just never felt right.
Baseball grip felt more natural to me so that's what I stuck with. I'm a 19 handicap, I'm sure "proper" grip wouldn't hurt but at the same time I don't see that being the key to me saving strokes.

It's absolutely a key in saving strokes. I feel that most people don't take the time to work on their setup. They are more focused on the swing. The majority of high handicappers are setup to fail before they even move the club. Having the right grip, posture and alignment makes the swing a lot easier. It's so difficult to make a good swing when your setup is all wrong.
