Furyk's "Unusual Swing"

I am amused each time I hear one of the so called guru golf commentators comment
on how unorthodox Jim Furyk's swing is.  I believe it is a wonderful arc he makes 
albeit seemingly an outside to inside big loop.

If he were to turn his loop to the inside and then up slightly across the line 
at the top, his swing would resemble the swing of the great Bobby Jones. So 
don't laugh, just copy it.

Stronger Grip for Better Distance

Nearly every golfer who comes to me for instruction has 
a very weak top hand grip on their club. 
By that I mean the V formed by the thumb and first finger 
of the top hand on the club points nearly to the chin of 
the player.  A right handed player should place his left 
palm more on top of the shaft so that he can see at least 
three knuckles from the address position with the V 
pointing towards the right shoulder. Fit the right hand 
on the club so that the V points in the same direction.
Remember, a stronger grip for better distance.
