interlock. only thing to watch out with it is the overuse of your right hand.
i also don't have big hands, so it helps to have a little more on the grip IMO.

think overlap is probably the better more traditional method, but its all about preference.

Overlap.

I have tried (and continue to try) the interlock, but I find that my right hand gets too involved and I push or slice more. Overlap allows me to feel like I'm pulling through with my left arm.

Baseball grip. Just the way I learned and never changed.

Interlock now. Did overlap for years and made the switch about 5 years ago. For me, it's a lot more consistent.

Overlap. It used to be interlock for as long as I'd been playing, then about 2-3 years it randomly felt unnatural. It's been overlap since.

poor form! Grip is too strong.

Make Vs with the thumb and index finger.





I honestly don't care, I'm just joshing.

Overlap on putts

I've tried overlap on normal shots, just doesn't feel right to me.

Jack, Tiger, and I think Rory.


Dunno 'bout Rory but Daly also uses an interlock.

I think Bob Estes was/is the only PGA golfer to use a baseball grip. Steve Jones ('96 US Open Champ) had a quirky grip due to an ATV accident. Impressive that he was able to come back after that, change his grip, and win the US Open. Now back to our regularly scheduled program . . .
