Does Anybody Like Chip Beck's Grip?

saw him on TGC. it is strong with L thumb on right side of shaft, covered by strong right hand....he makes a lot of claims like how it adds power to his game...certainly worked for him...what do we think?

I love his grip.

Considering that most people tend to miss the ball to the right, I think quite a few teachers tend to teach a grip that is too weak.

I'd say it must be good since he used to be a top player on the pga tour, and if I remember right, was one of the only guys to shoot a 59 in tournament play? Maybe I'm wrong about that?

He was the second to do it behind Geiberger.

I watched him the the event last week and I would say his grip works very well, thank you.

This seems a bit general in description. How far are both his hands turned to the right on his grip? Is the grip in his left hand only in his fingers- all the way to the Pinkie? This would be one heck of a strong grip. How far is his rt. hand turned? Just imagining it makes me wince at all the low drastic snap hooks that would result.

I've not seen his grip, but as you describe it, it sounds like Paul Azinger's. He has a very strong grip, but it works for him.

he does a playing lessons with a pro segment on TGC, if you have it...it is an interesting grip . He credits its with revolutionizing his game, esp straightening shots and adding power.
