I actually found it was helpful in cutting down the wristiness in my stroke, but my arms were still pretty flexible.
I've really found it hard going from cricket to playing golf - in cricket I held my bat fairly loosely and relied on being wristy to make my shots, often letting the face of my bat open at impact to deflect the ball over to the right side, while falling away to the left to exaggerate that motion. Can you imagine how devastatingly BAD it is to naturally want to do that when you take up golf?
I'll be back down at the range again this week to see if it continues, but it was quite a considerable difference yesterday just by gripping slightly more firmly.
