I may have to try the larger grips as well, or at least eliminate the taper in the grip. I wonder if having grips the size that I may end up with would affect the performance characteristics of the club (shaft flex, swing weight, overall weight)? Who knows...

will,
my driver came with a paralell grip on it....it feels very nice (and it doesn't seem to affect draw or fade) in the hands and apparently a lot of pros have their grips built up under the right hand too....
The guy i first learned this from (ex touring pro) was originally put on a machine which measured grip pressure, and with the taper grip, at the top he was gripping much firmer with his right hand.....with no other change than the parallel grip, his grip pressure reduced, both hands having roughly the same pressure, which must be a good thing...

There is a long round putter grip used on the long putters that is not tapered and larger than stander grips. Give it a try. It works great for the 8 finger 2 thumb baseball grip. You can use it for the Vardon and interlock as well.
He shouldn't need to do that GH, the one on my driver is a Golf Pride Softie...
All he needs to do is ask the grip fitter to build up the shaft (with tape) before he fits the grip..

what's a parallel grip?

I think it is a grip that isn't tapered
Correct...the grip under the right hand is the same diameter as the grip under the left.....
These are close..

I'll have to check golf pride's site to see if these come in full cord...

I dont know why people have such a problem with the interlocking grip... I used that from little on, and it always felt much better than the 10 finger grip, I have zero controll with a 10 finger grip... I use the vardon grip now, and I have only been using this in the past 2 years, but by far... I have the most controll with this grip.
watch some old clips of Bobby Jones, and the grip... even he was against the "baseball grip".

df,
I tried the interlocking a while back...I found it painful TBH....lots of rubbing and pressures on the four fingers and joints involved...

I have to say that the tip Brian gives in this thread is great. I have found that I too like flyers66 have found that my right hand pulls off the grip increasing a flying elbow thus creating inconsistent results. Letting go with right hand and then placing it on more solidly (covers my L thumb better, looking weaker ).Then I readdress the ball. Good drill. Hands stay connected longer through the shot and I don't slice as much. I always noticed my R hand sliding off and found to be in a stronger position post impact with slices before. Thanks, guys.

Hands stay connected longer through the shot now and I can see how I should grip it at all times. Thanks for the thread and help quys.

I've tried all of those retarded grips... My father was a Nicklaus fan, wanted me to call myself the brown bear, and taught me Nicklaus's interlocking grip as a kid... I played poor golf with that grip, then I tried the Vardon, and it didn't feel natural either. My solution is a long left thumb, and a right hand grip where all four fingers are on the grip. I hit the ball pretty now!!! High long draw.

Why don't you try a double overlap grip? I found that has also helped me. Also be careful to get your right thumb over the left thumb properly and hit shots with a penny in between to ensure you are maintaining that #1 pressure point.

This thread got bumped at a very serendipitous time for me.
I'm having big troubles with my right hand disconnecting with the grip near the top of the backswing. Efforts to concentrate on maintaining that grip have turned into weight shifting backward and a case of the fats.
I've used an 8/2 grip for the past few years and have tinkered with Overlap and Interlock but found both of those to be uncomfortable at address and painful at contact.
I'm going to try Brian's drill at the range this evening and check into some parallel grips.

can you explain #1 pressuer point?
It's in the lower abdomen when you have to tinkle.
