Update: put on a Lamkin Crossline standard size and the club started to click immidiately. Im really surprised by the difference it made.

With pushing down you mean, push down on the grip to try to hold or increase lag a la Sergio Garcia?

Thanks! A lot of interesting points as usual from you. My backswing is very much Stricker like. Some wrist hinge but I never add more after p3.

Yes, have changed the grip now, was just curious to why I couldnt handle the thicker grip!

Yes, your questions are very interesting and something I definitely have to think about!

But have to ask: do you think a different swing path will lead to fat shots? Had a discussion with Adam Young and as I understood him bad weight or pressure shift caused the fat shot, not swing path. Do you have another view?

Yes good point. My pull miss with other clubs is ok, cause its playable, its not a big miss. Most of the time I still find fairways or the light ruff from the tee.

That is very true and a good point. But I demoed another 5 TM hybrid a lot on the range before buying and loved it.

Yes, very interesting. My grip is on the weaker side, grips lasts a long time, and gloves are the same.

Yes exactly. In a way the fat grip maybe reveal a swing fault in my case. If I swing more Tommy Fleetwood style with good syncronization with body and arms and less hand action the fat grips work, but at the same time we need our wrists to add speed and in my case feel.

Yes! Very true, good answer, thanks! the grip will of course be different and many pros say the grip is the most important thing and need to be matched to your swing! A lot of stuff when it comes to golf is of course player dependent, swing pattern etc. My miss is a pull, it happens when I hang back a little, get lazy with rotation, armsy, maybe thats harder to time with a grip thats fatter and also leads to less feel. I always been a feel player with descent hands, although my swing mechanics are descent and on an on plane when I play my best. Long time low hcp so not completely hopeless. This has been frustrating me. I will of course change the grip, but I always wanna learn more.

All my clubs have Lamkin standard size grips with one layer of tape. A month ago I added a 5 hybrid TM to the bag and it had one of these GP MCC 4 plus on it. Never liked the feel of those grips but thought I use it til I get around to changing it. Weirdly is that my tendency with this club is to hit it fat, which rarely happens with my other clubs. I do know that duffs comes from poor low point control and not moving enough pressure in to the lead side, but could the grip size somehow have an impact on the fat shots? Pls share your experience!
