Mine is usually interlocking, but if I ever start to pull the ball, I'll switch to the overlapping for a few swings...

Interlocking. It was the way I learned and I've never even tried the overlap, except at the range and it felt like the club was moving all around in my hands. Either will work.

Interlocking grip for me. It's how I first swung the club.

I learned with an interlocking grip but as I grew older I switched to overlapping. Overlapping IMO feels so much for comportable.

deronsizemore, how long did it take you to get comfortable after you switched ? Just wondering, I'm happy with my interlock.

It took me probably about a month to get used to it. It did feel weird at first, but I like it much better now than interlock. It does feel like the club is really loose in your hands though when you first switch.

Definitely overlapping. I've tried interlocking, but I can't get comfortable with it.

Interlock for full shots, overlap for chipping/pitching. With a light grip, I feel like the club is going to fly out of my hands if I use an overlap grip for full swings. And I use a cross hand, 10 finger grip for putting.

Like a few people already I use an interlock grip on full swings and an overlap grip on chip shots. While putting I use a double overlap....
