The first lesson I took the instructor immediately pointed out my bad grip, baseball type. I didn't understand how it mattered so I didn't get very far. Nowadays I feel a good grip allows a good wrist cock, which allows access to a large cache of power. If you look at most golf instructional books or vids they usually start at the grip. Someone notable said "I've never seen a good golfer with a bad grip" or something to that effect. Changing my grip was uncomfortable at first but now I feel as if I'm getting some good action out of my clubs. Also after jumping out of the truck and goin straight to the teebox last summer I hyperextended my right thumb. I'd be willing to bet my old grip crept in and got in the way, ruined that round for sure.
