Every golf swing instruction is useful to only some, nothing works for everyone, or there would only be ONE way to swing.
You can find evidents to disprove every single golf instruction ever given, is that helpful, doubtful.  |
People swing it different, but fundamentals like the grip are not negotiable.
Your post advocates spreading ALL the fingers of the right hand and having a BIG gap between middle and forefinger. The example of support using spread fingers not allowing the club to drop to the grond is a weird one too, because the ball is on the ground, so the club needs to go down, not be held up in the air.
Spread fingers is weak, doesn't allow for clubhead feel and top speed, and is the fastest way to callus all your fingers.
