Golf grip/pressure

[fknhippie]

Experimenting with gripping the golf club to get a little more club head speed. I've been trying to grip with only the last three fingers of the lead hand and the middle two fingers on the trail hand.

My contact is actually worse as is my distance.

I seem to have better contact and length when also applying some pressure with my forefingers and thumbs.

I was either doing it wrong or I just need to do what's best for my swing and ignore the experts.

Vardon or overlap?

I could never go back the the overlap that I started with.

I thought they were the same thing. I do the Vardon, the interlocking grip used to hurt my knuckle.

I don't feel like I can get a good grip without the Vardon. Yeah, I guess I meant interlock.

You only have 6 fingers on the club with the interlock. You have 7 with the Vardon.

My lastest hot tip that's helping me is to start the downswing by pulling the grip straight down instead of throwing the clubhead out away from myself.
