    Just want to get an idea of which grip is the most popular amongst Boardies and why people use their particular grip. I use interlocking myself simply because I was told to when I started playing but am thinking of switching to overlapping.

    Interlocking here,

    It was just what I was shown as a kid so never really considered anything else.

    Started off with 10 finger grip when I was playing P&P as a kid, but was shown interlocking very shortly afterwards and have stuck with that since

    Interlocking. Using that since I started playing 20 odd years ago.
    If it's good enough for both Nicklaus and Woods I see no reason to change......!!!

    Vardon grip (Overlapping) is the best and i always thought, themost common and how I was taught. With Rory, Tiger and dare I say it the golden bear himself all using interlocking it will surely become the most copied

    Well to be fair you can't say the overlapping grip is "the best", it's just an option. There would be no way to conclusively show that one grip is the best. But the fact that the two best golfers to ever play the game (and possibly a future best ever in Rory) use the interlocking grip, that's very strong justification to opt for that grip.
