10 finger grip

I had a little fool around on the course today using a 10 fingered/baseball style grip (I was playing terribly and the round turned into practise) I normally use the overlap/vardon grip and find lately that it doesn't feel powerful anymore. My brother plays off 10.5 and he changed to the 10 finger about a year ago and now he swears by it, says he'll never change back. He seems to think he has more control over the face of the club and reckons he gets more power and distance too. My first couple of drives were big hooks but I hit some very sweet irons and they did seem a bit more penetrating than usual. What's the opinion out there on this grip? What are the pros and cons? Has anyone ever changed to this grip and had more success, consistency and what sort of level are you playing to? I'm interested in any opinions. I play off 11.5 by the way (That's the 1st handicap I've had, I joined a club a few weeks ago)
