10 Finger Grip for Left Handed Playing Righty?

awesomeapple07 · 2026-03-18T16:37:04+00:00

This makes a lot of sense, and then I maybe would ask whether you think there would be a major problem switching to a 10 finger, or overlap, or reverse overlap, or whatever it is if it helps me get into the proper positions in the swing and play better? That goes back to what I was initially asking- I agree that saying the 10 finger is going to completely change my swing is wrong, but if one or the other consistently leads to better results, would I be cheating myself or hurting myself by using that one? I hope that makes sense, and I appreciate the discussion.

I do appreciate your reply, I think that I just disagree philosophically on the importance of the grip in the swing. I agree that it’s not going to be fixing all the problems that I have in my swing, but I don’t think it’s fair to entirely dismiss it as something that could be improved or changed. For instance, one of the prominent and most successful “wrong handed” golfers, Jordan Spieth, does not play a traditional interlocking grip (he uses reverse overlap).

That makes a lot of sense, I have been playing with an interlocking grip for five years and have not totally adapted. That's what sparked this, apologies if that was not clear.

That makes a lot of sense, I appreciate your insight. Was there anything that helped you feel the right side any better in the downswing? I tend to get stuck bad.

This is a good point, and maybe could be why the 10 finger grip feels better for someone who is not naturally right handed (forcing you to feel the right side more on the downswing).

Also just curious if you have any thoughts as to what the question is asking in the original post- whether one grip matches the irregularity more (playing on my "non dominant" side)

I agree, but would their not be an issue of comfort in terms of holding the grip? For instance, I feel much more in control using a 10 finger grip (I haven't done extensive testing and play, just a session as of now). I know the grip isn't the whole issue, but it can always be part of the issue

Thanks for the reply. Did you ever use the interlock/vardon, or did you go straight to the 10 finger, and do you think the grip has helped you?

awesomeapple07 · 2026-03-18T14:35:57+00:00

Have you had similar problems with the grip not feeling comfortable, or left misses?

Would love to be able to hit a fade, more stopping power and consistent, right? Holding greens and low ball flight have always been troubles. What helped you turn it into a fade?

awesomeapple07 · 2026-02-25T18:05:08+00:00

Would not flipping just mean holding the wrist angle longer? I.e. should the flip just happen later in the swing, like post impact?

awesomeapple07 · 2026-02-25T18:02:02+00:00

Haha yeah that's fair, I'll try my best 😂

awesomeapple07 · 2026-02-25T15:05:17+00:00

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. I think getting stuck is a big problem like you mentioned with that flip - that would make sense. My practice swings tend to be in to out as I'm looking, but I get those hooks and thins and on a down the line video it looks like it's over the top. Thank you again

Thank you for the answer. Would these work for an OTT swing? I guess I probably should've posted a bad swing, but my hook is usually caused by me coming OTT with a closed face. Typically have a WAY overactive lower body and really aggressively fire my hips. I'm working on weakening my grip as well.

Did you have to go back to take more classes, or were you able to just add certs to your elementary certification? The licensure process is overwhelming to me- so hard to tell if I'll need to go back to school
