Question 585 

I lost distance with a baseball grip!

From Roy:

I have switched to a baseball grip after 30 years of overlap due to arthritis in my left little finger.   I have lost a full club with my irons now.   Is it because my right hand is now about an inch down the shaft( in essence choking up) or am i just releasing the club a little earlier now?   Will extensions help ?

The baseball grip can cause loss of distance but not necessarily so.   Chances are you are releasing the club too early.   Try downloading the shaft if you still have distance loss go to shaft extentions.
