I work different…😄 In the fingers like that and I'm slicing off the planet. Just can't get the club to release through impact… I have mine base of the index finger to half inch above the little finger in the 1st crease on the palm… Also works the same if I try and go stronger grip with the lead hand, it just won't release so I'm more neutral/weak with the lead hand…
People throwing their whole arm forward a-la Bryson, no! Make equilateral triangle at the hands rather than a right angle down the forearm and straight to the club.
That setup puts the face way open at address and even more at impact, it’s anti hook but in a very bad way.
I hold it like the second grip, but do strong grip from there. I still end up slicing it sometimes but more consistency with my long bombs straight. Never can draw it at all still. But can still do 275-300 yard drives if I don’t have any slice, with the slice I get 230-250. Not sure what my issue is minus maybe swing path, but sometimes I do shoot the ball like 20 degrees left but dead straight that way.
Something that could also help is make sure your Left foot is semi-close to the ball so that when you swing you get the right hit it helped me so I hope it helps you

Just learn't this recently, also helps to loosen the grip slightly. after all your not swinging a sledgehammer.
Boa

Nice
Imma left. But did mostly whatever could work including this which is good. My club head in. Stands fixed. But i dunno tho.
Having smaller hands I find it harder to hold lower. Is this something you’ve seen before?
It’s weird how we preach big or strong muscle groups in the golf swing till grip, then say let the weak fingers take charge over the powerful palms

It starts with proper grip. You can manufacture any type of swing as long as you have proper grip.
Went to the range and it helped a lot. Needed the reminder.
Nope I have a strong grip but still slice

The first is actually the correct way to grip a club.
Yeah I realised I'm right down the palm, will go closer to the base of my fingers…….find out tomorrow!
I’ll try that. Hope it helps.
