golf grip wear
 

I have always worn my grips where the right thumb touches the grip and I claw (bend) the knuckle and squeeze grip during the downswing. I know I double wristcock at the top and I am trying to change that and I think I must be casting the club with my right hand and the clawed thumb is trying to hold it. As you probably can guess, I don't really have a good feeling for lag or loading.Is anybody familiar with that wear pattern on their grips?
Thanks

That's probably the Standard wear pattern if there is one. Your Hands go one way and the Clubhead goes another. Friction. Using your Thumb to steer the Clubhead back into alignment with the path of the Hands. Typical of Elbow Plane Swinging and Plane Shifting (I'm not bashing).

Consider this: The Club and Clubhead WANT to stay on the Plane they started on. Like a gyroscope. So, start the Club (downstroke at minimum) on the same plane you want to strike the ball.

The simple solution is not to use the Thumb as a pressure point to regain club-head control, but rather use the #3 Pressure Point to maintain control from the start.

BTW, the above solution is a journey. It's much easier to replace the grips. :)

Try this little drill.

Take your grip except place your left thumb on top of your right hand. Take a dozen short pitch shots while maintaining pressure on your right forefinger. Then take your normal grip and keep the pressure on your right forefinger. See if that helps a little.
