Ten finger grip?

Anybody use a ten finger grip?

I've always used the interlocking but today I started chipping with a Ten finger grip and was getting a great strike so later in the round I tried a Ten finger grip on a Drive, Hybrid and a couple of approach shots & I was very impressed. I have been struggling with a hook of late that was caused by my right hand being to far under the club, moving it more on top straighted me up but I couldn't find the perfect place consistantly. I'd think I'd cracked it firing a couple down the middle but then I'd miss left or right and struggle to find the right spot again. This has been happening for about 6 weeks and every time I think I've cracked it the wheels fall off again. With the Ten finger grip today all my chips/pitches were sweet and the 4 full shots I hit were great. I'm just curious to if there is any real reason as to why this grip is not really taught? Should i try to make the switch or is there some reason the interlock or overlap are the two prefered style of grip?

BTW, The best player I know uses a Ten finger grip (plays off 1).
