I'm not so sure I agree with you there Dariusz. I use an interlocking grip and have no problems making my right hand as weak or as strong as necessary for whatever I'm trying to do. Whether using a Vardon or interlocking grip, the depth of my pinky HAS to change depending on how strong or weak that right hand is. Through impact the club is just much more secure in my hands with the interlocking.
I wouldn't go THAT far with assumptions. I'd better say that more difficult as big is the impact of the position of both hands on the grip on mechanics of the whole motion.Quote:

That's why I used the word "usually", Johnny. The whole disadvantage of the interlock type vanishes in case one can get rid of the feeling of security only in the extremely deep pinky position. Otherwise, two of the greatest golfers ever wouldn't have decided to use interlock...Quote:

Forget the right hand. Get it neutral in the left hand first. There is no way you look like this:

At address, get that left shoulder high , right shoulder lower, hands more forward and less bend \angle in the left wrist to the forearm. You look like you over rotate the left wrist on the takeaway but forget about that for now.
Grip and setup don't look right to me , I would start there.
Use a mirror and watch the setups on TV, and really discipline yourself to look exactly like the pros.
A good setup \ grip is very hard work and requires lots of discipline.
I noticed too, you seem to set up with the shaft leaning away from the target at address. Probably because of that left hand grip, but I think that is a little unusual unless you were trying to expose the bounce to hit a flop or something. That picture Shot Limit posted is spot on though. IMO the still chickenwinging is because of the strong left hand grip, and holding that cup through impact. I think some cupping is fine at the top to feel a certain looseness in the wrists, but I think you've got that left wrist way too cupped at the top. I also like a cupped wrist at the top and have experienced some similar issues. Maybe if you weaken that left hand you can still cup a little at the top but apply twistaway on the downswing to get rid of the flip. I thought twist on the downswing was how Kevin Shields said he banished his flip for good.
I'm not even sure his left hand is that 'strong' at address. Yes, it's cupped, but it's facing pretty close to the target , maybe a little turned \ strong. But it's that ridiculous angle to the left forearm.
And impact zone .. it comes back. (with the bent left arm \ chicken wing)
If he's going for neutral, this is far from it. If this isn't strong, then I don't know what is. If he held his arm out like in the Manzella picture above, the clubface would probably be pointing 45 degrees away as opposed to straight up.
