When Lynn changed my swing, putting, and chipping grips, he made par possible for me, no lie. I practice it daily!

Thanks, PB. I concur wholeheartedly. I have only heard Yoda and one other teacher give much attention to the "anatomical snuffbox." Probably the least fully understood concept in the grip, to me. Overlap, Vardon, baseball (10 finger) grips make no difference whatsoever if that snuffbox is not placed correctly. After that, things have the opportunity to fall in place. If not, all is for naught, in my humble opinion.
