How do you grip it?

Wombatman

1. Strong, neutral or weak?

2. Interlock, overlap, cack-handed or baseball?

3. Tight, medium or loose?

Me = Strong, interlock and medium but would like to be more neutral, interlock and loose.

Neutral interlocking medium for me, could definitely be a little looser but try to stay conscious of avoiding getting too tight

Switched from interlocking to overlapping about 2 years ago.

Neutral, Interlocking, Loose

Loose is really helping me away from the left rough.

Grip it and rip it!

TheDoc

Strong interlock, verging on tight

A.Partridge

Neutral, Vardon as light as possible.

Be interesting to get some feedback as to why.

I interlock because it feels comfier and like I'm more on control of the club. And in fairness its how I first learned to grip.

I lean towards strong in order to get that draw...but can make minor adjustments to shape differently. Was neutral for along time but strong feels good now (hope I haven't mixed them up )

I try to be firm and tight as it makes sure I don't to twist the head on impact. Habbit I had that makes shots fire straight left or right depending. Also let's me accelerate slightly just before impact to get a crisp strike with more spin if required.

Interested to hear opinions on those with a loose grip. Tried it for a while and wondered how anyone could hit solid shots with it.

And an interesting fourth choice would be "fingertips?". Yes or no.

I remember instructions always trying to correct me that my fingertips weren't grasping the club. Hard to describe. But my fingertips kinda reach around to the underside of my hand. Been wondering lately if I need thicker grips

Played 20 years with Vardon and then about 5 years ago started using baseball as I was getting a better wrist cock...stayed with it for everything bar putting.

Loose grip as possible for me, your hands naturally grip it tighter when needed (at impact) so its not an issue.

Yes played for 30 plus years with Vardon but started using 10 finger (baseball) grip for putting, then small chips, then irons & each time the results were better. Eventually in the last year or so reached the stage where I use that grip for everything except the driver (feel I lose that a bit at the top of backswing with the 10 finger grip). Grip would be neutral I would say.

May have given up a small bit of distance with the grip but much more accurate. I think it's a good alternative especially if you don't have large hands.
