2 grips

[wils5150]

I have always used the interlocking grip. I have always had a good iron game. Hitting a driver or 3 wood off the tee would be hit or miss. my miss is a snap hook. The past 3 or 4 rounds I have been using a overlap grip for my tee shots. The result have been a little fade with the driver and I can hit a fade or draw with the 3 wood. i am going to continue with this and see where it goes. Anybody else do this?

Every once in awhile I try an overlap grip on the driving range.  It feels so strange to me, as if I have a death grip on the club with my left hand, and my right hand is just hanging on for dear life.  And the results are not pretty ... so, no I haven't tried it on the course yet. :)

I prefer interlock with my irons, and overlap with my drivers... not sure why, just the way that feels best.

I only used the interlocking grip from day one until a few months ago and now it feels strange to me. I didn't really have any trouble making the transition and it made it easier for me to strengthen my grip. However I recently went to a reverse overlap putting grip and my brain had a tough time with that.

Ive always used the interlock. To me, I feel like I can keep a light pressure with that grip. If I try the overlap I end up death squeezing the club.

Heard them comment during the President's cup that Stricker uses a standard Vardon (overlap) grip when putting.  I think I've also heard he squeezes it hard enough to turn his knuckles white.  Given his success, I guess that means I don't need to change anything (cuz I putt the same way albeit rather badly).

well I played another round with the overlap with my driver and 3 wood and interlock on every other shots. Played the back nine twice its a par 37 shot 38 & 39. Things I have noticed is with the driver I have completely eliminated the left side which I like. I can also hit a cut or a draw with my 3 wood off the tee and the 3 wood off the deck is much better also.

just to piggy back off of my previos post. whats the advantage to 10 finger when chipping? I am just curious

Sounds like it's working for you. ..
