different grips?

i went through all three. when i made the first swings at the range, just for fun back then, i was using baseball. i then saw a video which talked about both the interlock and vardon grip. after playing with the interlock for a short while, I switched to the vardon (overlap) and i'm now much more consistent with my shots (i have no idea whether it's the grip or my "improved swing").

When I was young the old man who showed me how to hold a club taught me the interlocking grip. I've never tried anything else.

Overlapping a la Ben Hogan. Started with an interlock, but know that feels to constricted.

Double Overlap. You did not include that in your poll.

I use the interlocking grip. I feel that both hands are able to work as one better this way. I used to have the baseball grip, but that was when I just started and was not very consistant. Switching grips feels weird at first, but over time, you grow used to it and it feels really weird if you try to go back to the original.
Whatever is most comfy and consistant, go with it.

Interlock. A couple years ago, read that the overlap was recommended (by various places) and tried it. Used it for a while, then decided it just wasn't comfortable. It causes rubbing between my finger joints in an uncomfortable way. The interlock just fits together much better and lets me get a repeatable grip without thinking too hard.

I currently use an interlocking grip.

Played with the overlap for the longest time until I began to develop a pretty serious callus/gash on my outer left index where the pinky sits between index and middle.

That thing was gnarly and I didn't want to go through that again so I started interlocking...this was about a year and half ago.

I just changes to an overlapping grip as I think I have more controll with it, let's see how it will work out this season

I currently use an interlocking grip.

Your hands are sliding around if that's happening. You will develop some minor callous there, and perhaps have some discomfort, but it shouldn't last long. If it continues, however, then that's something to look into. I think 9 times out of 10 it's a sign of swinging too hard.
