Shankster Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Green hat, and a severely open face. And he looks damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiftyNiblick Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Scotland is cooler than most of the US in the summer, but wouldn't it be cool to dress like that in the fall? Tom is wearing long trousers, i notice. Didn't he usually play in plus fours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgewalker Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The left thumb to me. Hard to tell but it almost looks like part of it may be missing? Or it's not totally on the club and hiding beneath his right sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I agree with Kenny, Matt, and Rev. Actually I thought it was a 10 finger until a few minutes ago. But after closer inspection I realize it's an overlap. Darn... I thought I had you hackers stumped and that Old Tom was a 10 finger man like myself.

Kenny B Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I thought it was an overlap grip because of his left hand trigger finger looks like it. However, I can't figure out what it's overlapping. I see 5 fingers of his right hand, and the left hand isn't overlapping any of them!! Rev is right. The left hand is very weak, but the right hand is very strong. An odd combination.

Kor.A.Door Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It's either a ten finger grip or he has 11 fingers, it looks like the index finger on his left hand is overlapping, but there's nothing there to overlap unless he has an extra finger on his right hand. Otherwise he is just not even putting the index finger any where near the shaft. ridgewalker and Kenny B 2 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Ward Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 He is using the reverse overlap grip, Young Tom Morris used the same grip if you look at the monument erected after his tragic death. I have found that of all the grips it is the most natural and the most accurate. If you have never tried it, set up with the right hand with the blade behind the ball square to target, put the left hand on naturally with the left forefinger overlapping, then swing, you’ll be amazed at how relaxed it all is. You’ll find your accuracy if you take dead aim will surprise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
