I have small hands and have used the baseball /ten finger grip for many years. I don't believe I've read anything on this forum about this type of grip and how it can or cannot be incorporated or interpreted by TGM. Any comments would be welcome.
I am no expert...but I do have the book. And I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night. See 7-1 and 7-2. Homer defines all grips that do not overlap as Baseball Grips. Adhere to 1-L #3 "There is no wobble in the clubshaft attachment (Grip)". Maintain your Flying Wedges and a Flat Left Wrist. Strong Single Action (V/V/A) is recommended for both stroke patterns. (10-2-b) The #3 pressure point (right index finger) and the Left Thumb are on the Aft side of the of the Clubshaft in an On Plane Location for Impact support. Wristcock only--Single Action.
Gentlemen,
I too spent the night in a Holiday Inn Express...the futher apart the hands are from each other ...the shorter the"effective" left arm radius is and requires more clubshaft lean at impact to maintain structure and pressure...example... ice hockey players with a split grip...so if you have a ten-fingered grip...try to keep the hands closer to each other to help with better leverage and structure...

PS. I have worked with several ice and field hockey players...this is where these findings are supported...I didn't dream it up last night at the Holiday Inn Express!
Thanks for the replies. By ten finger grip, what I mean is that I have no interlock or overlap of the left hand by the last finger or two of the right hand. I do however still have my left thumb covered by the right hand, so I guess my hands are as close together as I can get them. It is good to know. Thanks again.
