I'm a beginner. About 10 years ago I took a class and was taught the interlocking grip. It felt ok at the time. This time around I have tried the overlapping grip. I may go back to the interlock. It felt more natural to me, and that is the key...what is natural for you the individual.

I use the interlock grip because it feels the most comfortable.

I have a question about the interlock grip. I have been using it since I started playing. Recently I made a change to have a stronger left hand on the club. My question is since I am a righty my thumb on my left hand when making it my grip stronger feels weird under my right hand. I started taking the thumb and putting it under my right hand against the side of it. I started hitting more fades and less push slices. Is this a bad fix or is this an actual golf grip.

I use an interlocking grip, have since I started long ago.

Jman..I'm a righty too. My left hand shows 2 knuckles, my right hand sits on top of my left, i.e. my right thumb, sits directly on top of my left thumb, so the V's point up at my right shoulder. This manner of position makes it so that both hands are on the sides of the grip, and not one that over, or under the grip. I find that if I make a good swing, this grip produces a fairly straight ball, or a slight draw with short to mid irons.

When I use to use a stronger grip, I tended to turn my hands to the right, producing a wild slice, or if I did turn them over, I usually hit a bad draw, or hook, especially with driver. The way I explained above may take some getting use to, but it works well for me, might give it a try. BTW, I learned it from Martin Hall on the GC.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
