Hindsight is a wonderful thing - could you honestly say you'd tell him not to chnage anything if he came to you when he was a 22 handicapper with that swing?

Interestng how he still wears a glove on his left hand - even though it's adopting the role of the right hand.

Do you think this is still his dominant hand? Looks crazy

I'm left handed and I have wondered why I naturally seem to play golf and cricket right handed.....I may give his way a go down the range for a laugh

Everything else, I'm left handed, except raquet sports where I can use both equally.

When I was in the army I had to learn how to use the SA80 right handed, it took ages and they had me up at 4am doing extra training....surely it would have been easier for them to just make me a left handed gun!

He swings the club very orthodox. This kind of grip is not new to me as I knew a few cack handers one of which played to scratch.

There's a surgical procedure for this problem, they cut off both your arms and swap them around!!

As I 've mentioned in previous post I started playing with a grip like that and made good progress but bowed to pressure from the members around me as they said I wouldn't get any better and got the piss ripped out of me. I've always wondered what would have happened if I'd stated with it?

I used to always chip and pitch with that grip, having read a book by a Mr Tiger Woods that said you should use the same grip for chipping and pitching as you do for putting. Of course I putted left hand low. Its quite good because that grip stops you getting wristy and stops you releasing early.

I'm guessing in the full swing, you'd find it difficult to turn the ball over with this grip.
