I would like to try a cross handed putting grip, but I can't find anything that suggests exactly how to put the grip together.

How do you grip your putter cross handed? Do you overlap with a pinky? Do you overlap with an index finger? Do you use something like a 10 finger grip?

I've had a good day if I don't fall out of the cart...

You can overlap the pinkie, go ten-finger, etc. Lots of ways. There's really almost no wrong way to grip a putter.

Years ago,I tried gripping my putter cross handed. I found the 10 finger, baseball grip the easier grip to use.

I used it for a few months, but eventually went back to my normal version of the Vardon grip. The same grip I use on all my clubs, on all shots, all the time. I call it my "k.i.s.s." grip.

Experiment and see what feels most comfortable and lets you make a consistent putting stroke.

I have putted crossed handed for 10+ years.  I am a right handed player. Mine is an interlock version where my right hand pointer finger is interlocked between my left hand ring and middle finger.  This keeps my shoulder almost level.  I find the split 10 finger grip makes my shoulders closed and tend to miss right...

When I switched to left hand low I tried different grips.  I ended up with sort of upside down Vardon grip.  But I suspect as several above suggested, just whatever works for you.
