I'm wondering what the disadvantage is of using a power grip on mids/putters. I've heard it said that power grip has less control, but I don't really understand what "less control" means.
Does it mean aiming is less accurate? Or that even with decent form the release is more susceptible to OAT?
Just asking because I go through phases where I don't have any OAT with mids/putters, and phases where I do, using a power grip. Sometimes there's no OAT at all and I don't really notice any issues with accuracy being diminished. Sometimes I can't do that consistently and OAT creeps in. It's frustrating, because I think I have it all figured out for a couple weeks, then suddenly it's like I can't throw consistently anymore. Not sure if I should try switching to a more control-ish grip that is more forgiving, or if my goal should be to be able to throw with a power grip consistently.
