Problems caused by interlock grip?

[WUTiger]

I've used all of the Big Three at one time or another. Started overlapping - first golf book I ever read said to. Then tried baseball grip - good distance but major control problems. Went back to overlapping for 30 years.

About four years ago, I went to interlocking . Interlocking gives me more even grip pressure - and, I don't tear up golf gloves as fast.

My job contributes to grip pressure problems. I spend a lot of time on the computer doing heavy graphics mousing, and overuse my right hand. The right seems to relax a lot more using interlocking.

I think the key is find a grip you like and blend it into your golf swing. History lesson: Hogan recommended the overlapping, while Nicklaus used the interlocking. If I remember correctly, both guys won a lot of golf tournaments.

I too have tried all the grips. The Vardon grip for me wouldn't let my hands get equal pressure on the club. The baseball grip felt like I didn't have the "feel', so I went back to the interlocking grip, and haven't had any problems so far. All of my swing problems are caused by other things..

^^^There it is.

I can easily make equally bad swings with any kind of grip.

I use the "interlocking" grip and will never use any of the others, I've tried the Vardon overlapping grip and baseball grip but they don't work for me. Whatever feels most comfortable for you.  Look to your right elbow for the cause of pulls and hooks. If you try to keep it pointing at the right hip it keeps you connected and helps return the clubface square every time. Try Harvey Pennick's "MAGIC MOVE"  from his Little Red Book.  Just a suggestion.
