I've used an interlocking grip for putting ever since I started playing and was wondering if anyone else does? I'm think about going to the overlap...any thoughts?

I do. I've used interlocking for everything since I was eight, save for a short stint with the left hand low with the putter a few years back.

I do. Same grip I use for my full swings. Have always done it that way and putt pretty well, so not gonna change any time soon.

I use a 10-finger grip (baseball style) when putting. It helps me keep from getting wristy with my putts. I use interlock on all other shots.

I interlock my grip, and I putt cross-handed.

I putted using the interlock grip when I was younger and then my golf coach taught me the overlap grip to use on my putting and chipping to be less wristy but Im thinking about going back to interlocking it just feels more natural to me

I interlock on everything BUT the putter. I use sort of a 10 finger grip with my right index finger going down the back of the shaft.

Yep, me too. I do it all interlocking. But, when putting I hold my right hand index finger a little lower... it just feels right.

Interlock for everything.... golf is already too complicated, I don't need to be thinking about a different putting grip too...

to quote Tiger Woods, "one grip for all shots."

Tiger doesn't use one grip for all shots. In fact, he changes his grip for his pitch shots and things depending on what feels best. And his putting grip is nothing like an interlocking grip.

Not sure where you've seen that quote, but I'm incredibly confident in what I've just said.

I'm constantly fiddling with my putting grip. However, I have been left-hand low for several years and find it impossible to go back now. Currently, I use a grip where my left hand overlaps my right by two fingers and my palms are very much on the side of the grip, maybe even facing away from me slightly. Really, what I'm always trying to find is a grip that unifies my hands as well as immobilizes my wrists. Right now, it feels pretty good.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.
