What wasn't working with the grip??

Went back to the baseball style grip with decent success at the range but too early to tell.


This could be akin to buying a new club honestly.. you have a lot of success due to confidence more than ability.. it will eventually run its course..

I like 99% of other male children in the south played baseball growing up. So naturally that's how I held a club. It wasn't until my first golf lesson after 20 years of playing did the instructor ask me about my grip.. Told me that trying to move to the interlock or overlap would help my improvement greatly.. At first it felt uncomfortable and unnatural but I found that the clubs I was most confident in using was the place to start.. So I started with my 7-pw, once that felt better I moved up to longer clubs excluding Driver.. Then moved on to driver and then my wedges being last oddly enough.. Probably due to wedge shots being more of a feel shot than anything.. Now at this point of I hold it in a 10 finger grip it feels really odd and I feel disconnected from the club..

Question, do you have standard sized grips on your clubs?? Because this was another thing that helped me become more comfortable holding the club.. at first I switched to midsized.. Then I found the Golf Pride MCC +4 and I used standard in those, but with extra wraps.. Since the MCC don't taper as dramatically it felt much better in my hand..

So what I guess I'm trying to say is don't shy away from the current interlock to 10 finger.. maybe try a couple of changes.. because the grip is the only thing that connects us to the club and a proper grip goes a long way..
