I'n not sure if I read it here, in the magazine or heard it somewhere else, but at the range yesterday I changed my grip slightly so the little finger on my gloved hand was slightly off the top of the grip.

Once I did that my ball striking improved no end, I got a higher, longer more penetrating flight and I can't understand why!

I have standard length clubs and am 5'7" tall, but bacause of a back injury I perhaps don't bend enough so wondered if by having this grip the club is kind of 1/2" longer?

My swing felt the same with the new grip although at first I didn't feel I had 100% control of the club so perhaps the swing was more controlled.

Whatever the reason the ball was flying, no doubt, being Mr Inconsistancy, it'll not work tomorrow when I'm on the course!
 
Cheers Murph, just hit a few irons yesterday (6/8 & SW) plus a hybred.

Not playing a long course tomorrow so may leave the driver out until I've tried it on the range!
