Golf Grip - Overlap vs. Interlock vs. Ten Finger

**jamesfnb** · 06-19-2010, 07:48 PM

Which grip do you use and why?

I grew up using interlock because I was taught that way. Now I overlap, feels more comfortable and seems like I release the club better/easier through the shot. Seems like most people I run into interlock but overall I'm guessing it's probably 50/50.

I can't do the interlock. Just doesn't work for me, and doesn't feel comfortable. Ten finger for me. Just a little better than bogie golf.

I changed from ten finger to overlap and it made it feel like I had a lot more control over the club. Interlock feels completely foreign to me.

I started playing with the ten finger and then moved to the interlock. The interlock seems to help me keep the club face closed for some reason.

Same for me. I definitely had problems pushing shots and switching to interlock helped me get rid of that problem.

When I first started playing I was using a 10 finger but over the years have gone to an overlap. The interlock just isn't comfortable for me at all.

Define your individual grip choice for the guys that dont know the slang.

THANKS!

I guess I didn't think anyone used 10 finger...that really played the game, anyway.

I was taught interlock, but switched to overlap almost immediately as I seemed to have better control. Have never look back.

Interlock except for short wedge shots then it's overlap. I started with interlock so I just never changed.

God gave you 10 fingers for a reason. Put them all on the club!
That said, I'm an awful golfer.

interlock

Interlock, it keeps my hands from separating.

I interlock, but one of the best golfer I know (well at least the best player I know who I play with on a semi-regular basis) uses the 10 finger grip. I certainly don't understand it, as I've always seen it as a "slicer's grip", but his results speak for themselves.
