A lot of good players use a 10 finger Grip. Tommy Gainey and Calvin Pete come to mind. There are a few others past and present. Heck there are still a few out there still using a cross handed full swing Josh Broadaway nationwide tour and Pat Brogden LPGA. There where a few other old timers that used cross handed grip on full swing (Papwa Sewgolum was one of them early 60s i think) Jim Furyk uses an unconventional grip to match unconventional swing. Double over lap.

I do think if you have a hands and arms type swing (one that requires you to time the release/cross over at impact) you may find that you will lose some club head speed.

If you have a swing that uses more of the big muscles and rotation to square the club face you should not see any problems at all (this type of swing has more a gradual release).

My thoughts anyway
good luck with it.
