Thumbs down the middle... :)... newbie Q

I don't think you'll have too much of a problem.

The norm is definately nowadays to think in terms of having the Vs pointing towards the right shoulder/ear area ( always has been in my memory), but if your wierd and wonderful grip works for you, do it your own way. There's nowt wrong with being unique as long as the ball does what you want it to after you've hit it. Watch old Lee Travino clips as proof.

When you have tried the slightly stronger grip, how do you go about gripping the club ? I would try holding the club right handed at the base of the grip. Put your left hand on the grip as usual, then, whilst holding the club firm with the right hand, just gently twist your left hand a fraction clockwise.

Then regrip with the left hand, and just add the right hand comfortably as you usually do.

It helps that your Vs are pointing in the same direction, the biggest problem people seem to have is when the Vs are pointing in different directions, so the hands can't work together.

Good luck with the evaluation.
