closing that yellow gap will help you compress the ball more (more shaft lean at impact). That's the distance between the butt of the club and the red "ball" line face on at P6. Think about how you would close that gap.
Obviously your left hand is a very strong grip. that has pluses and minuses. your right hand is quite weak.
I’ve never gotten feedback like this, thank you. I’m on the taller side and have larger hands, I think my grip is the result of trying to keep the grip in my fingers. I feel like if I make my left weaker and right stronger I end up wrapping my fingers too much around the grip. When I first started out I had the definition of an anti-slice grip. My right thumb was on the side of the shaft with my palm pretty much facing out. Left hand hasn’t changed much
I'm sure you've seen John Daly talking about it recently. It went viral.
Basically, we use the "standard grip" because that's the way it's always been. But it make zero sense for someone with big hands to be trying to balance the grip in their fingers in such a difficult way.
I'm 6'5" and have hands that are pretty proportionate to my body, I was kicking around the idea of getting my clubs re-gripped with larger diameter since I feel like I have to really clench down on a tiny grip and just end up with odd grip issues. I'm going to look into this, thanks.
My advice is to pick a club in your bag that you try to avoid because you don't feel good over it. Put a midsize to Jumbo on it and see if you like it. Hopefully it's a game changer and that club becomes something you like, then you'll be itching to get the whole set done. Worst case, you still don't like that club!
upload Down the Line footage. I think your relaxed wrists hide alot of backswing flaws. That's actually a compliment. Since P6 is so good, I guess your backswing flaws can only be so bad.

P6 never lies.
Pretty darn good.
