Experimenting with different grips- stumbled into one that works well for me!

DISCUSSION

Was working on my swing after posting a video. A lot of feedback on clubface too open on back swing. I use the interlocking grip and am lucky I have fast hands because I didn’t have a slice problem like a lot people said I would with my open clubface. But I wanted to get better and have a more conventional swing.

Tried overlap. Not for me. Tried 10 finger grip, actually felt nice but hands moved to fast and was hooking everything.

Then I came back to my interlock. Accidentally gripped it with my left thumb wrapped around instead of under my right palm, kind of like a 10 finger grip but still with pinkies interlocked.

Got dame it changed things. Clubface stayed more closed on backswing and looking at the tape my clubface was square well before striking the ball and I actually felt that unhinging and compressing into the ball.

Think I found a natural grip that works for me and helps me focus on other aspects of golf instead of constantly trying to find ways to square up without relying on quick hands.

Anyone else have a different grip than the big 3?

I feel like you're gonna break one of those two interlocked fingers, on that interlocked thumb, if you hit it fat.
