For me, one of the problems with the baseball grip is the tendency to scoop the ball, because the pushing hand is lower down on the grip. I have tried and rejected the baseball grip for use in long-driving.

What about overlap? Furyk uses a double overlap, in fact...

Me, I'm strictly an interlock kinda guy. Always have been. Baseball feels far too "wristy" to me. God when you've got a bat in your hands, bad when it's a club.

I've stuck with an interlocking grip after a short foray into the baseball grip. The baseball is too wristy, as Erik described. The interlocking just feels solid, maybe not as solid as the overlapping, but good. Jack Nicklaus recommended the interlocking for small hands in his book "Golf My Way."

I use the interlocking grip too but occassionally my skin starts ripping up on the inside of my right pinky. I'm pretty sure it's because of my death grip and I've been trying to fix it but I can't loosen up. My shoulders and hands often get very tense but I cant help it. Any advice?

Do you feel like the club will slip if you don't squeeze it tight? If so, try wearing a glove on both hands so that you won't need to grip it so tight.

oh yea i forgot to mention, i wear my gloves out very quickly... not a pretty sight
my best guess is my grips... i use the stock corded grips that came with my titleist 704.CB's and i don't find them comfortable at all. I was thinking about getting my clubs fitted and by fitted i mean my lie angle flattened a little and my clubs regripped.
but first, i'll try to loosen up and not try to smash the ball every time
i think i have subconscious urge to crush the ball that makes me to grip it hard and swing at 110% every time...
oh and i'll try using two gloves thing =P
