I weakened my grip to 1.5 knuckles, first starting with chips and pitches. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I hit the ball significantly more consistently. It also made a difference in my full swings as well. It much easier to feel like you can go after the ball w/o fear of it going left.
Also, I tried hitting the X2 Hot 3 Deep, as I was considering a safe driver/two-wood.
Didn't care for it at all. My 15* TEE was longer off the tee and deck and easier to elevate.

In the end it will make it easier on your body and easier to repeat. I think it's a pretty smart move.
same reason I'm not a big fan of dust in Johnsons swing
