As Annikan says the grip is an evolutionary process! I recall listening to Jack Nicklaus saying to grip the right hand in the fingers...to "add some snap" to it I believe he said. Like Yoda says if you are gripping the club in the fingers of the right hand "...you don't have it." Thinner up top...thicker down below makes sense. You can't have everything!

Pity, that I regripped my clubs recently! I am going to give the reverse taper grips a whirl. The buster grips were originally for a guy with arthritis. They come in pink as well. Good for hitters perhaps, Daryl?
I've heard of people playing with them. Really. I don't know if their out of the Loony Bin yet or had their Clubs Re-gripped since then. Don’t do it. It sounds like a crazy idea. Keep your Grips. Extensor Action. But I am considering adding a piece of tape to thicken them a smudge.

Sorry man, someone had to tell you "no".

I will not go quietly into the night
I will try to get a grip! Too late...I have ONE on the way! I'm going to put it on a "spare" for Justin. Just in case it works! I believe that Ralph Maltby varies the thickness of his own grips, but not uniformly i.e. he adds a bit for where the right hand meets the grip. Ultimately, I agree that with good alignments and extensor action you ought to be able to pure most anything. I guess I am still harping on the idea that given the importance of gripping under the heel pad with the left hand it should not be the thickest part of the grip...unless you have bangers for fingers (ask Neil) I will sacrifice an old Titleist 962 B 7 iron to find out! Then...the revolution will begin.
