I start golf late in life (55) and started with Interlock grip. After a few months I realized I had a heavy grip on the club and was not getting any lag or whip at the bottom of swing. So no distance or launch. I tried overlap at the range one day just to see. I instantly got more lag, whip at the bottom and a little more distance. I've never tried 10 finger but now that I've been away a bit, I should. This was very informative. Thanks.

I have the overlap grip.
I lately have struggled with my chipping around the greens.

Years ago I had trouble with my top hand rolling over and shutting the club face. An oldtimer told me that instead of interlocking the index finger on my right hand (I'm a lefty) between the pinky on my left hand I should interlock it between the ring finger and the middle finger. Well that worked. It locked my top hand in place enough to prevent me from rolling the top (left) hand over. Eventually I went back to the regular interlock however, occasionally the dreaded rollover happens and I get the big time PULL. So I saved your video and will review it again once the 5 month frost delay is over. CHEERS

Started 10 finger/baseball and switched to interlock 6 months in..def help take the hands out just a bit..

Grip was/is one of my biggest issues. Always trying to figure out what works the best for me. I started interlocking this year. I will apply these tips! Thank you

Thanks for the reminder. I used to use interlock until I got away from it because of slight nerve pain in hands. Trying it again, it seems to be the best at keeping my grip solid from address to finish.

I struggle right now with driver distance. I’m carrying 170-200 yards and I carry my 3 iron just over 170 so it’s a real problem. I know I’m hitting down on the ball but I can’t seem to get a handle on it. Ive hit 260-280 with my driver before but that’s just a couple of times. I feel like as I’m gaining more distance with my irons and hitting my wedges better my driver is just getting worse and worse. At least it’s fairly accurate though! Except for the pull straight left occasionally

Excellent video, I have used the interlocking grip for the 62 years I have been playing golf. The palm issue you mention can easily be seen by the wear on your glove.

Thanks for the great tip. My grip didn't feel right and I now know it was because I was "jamming" my hands together.

Where at the golf ball do you aim at address and backswing? I've had several people tell me several spots, so I'm just wondering where you recommend.

Thanks for vid. I'm a new golfer and been really practicing hard this last year trying to get my game to a reasonable point. My 2 largest struggles are 1. My miss is usually a push. No slice, but just a high push that loses me 15-20 yards and obviously right of target. 2. My driver. It's gotten a lot better, but my miss is still a big push slice. This is what is holding me back the most. I lose a lot of balls right on the course. It's odd because I know I must be coming over the top but it doesn't feel like it and I don't slice my other clubs. I think I'm swiping across the ball really late in my swing. Don't know if you've seen that before or have some suggestions. Any help is appreciated!

I switched from interlock to overlap grip because I tend to put a lot of pressure on my grip and my right pinky would flare up in the joints.

[zachwoods]

I think I struggle the most trying to figure out how close you need to be to the ball and how far your feet need to be in width with your wedges, like a 52, 50, 54 or even 56 degree. And how far does that back swing supposed to go

[peterguildford]

Im now an interlocker, and i do both the first and third mistakes! Opps!!. Biggest struggle for me is face control, im all over the place.

[jamesjerding]

I’ve always used the interlock grip since I started playing as a little kid.

[joetrigger]

Nice shirt! Planning on playing there next year!

[brianmccully]

Interlocker here. Changed my game for the better.

Hi Matt, I just returned to the game in August of 2021 after about a 25 year layoff. I played when I was younger but found skydiving and golf took a backseat. I used to have a baseball grip but in my return decided to try the interlock. Not for me! I feel as you do I have more stability with the 10 finger grip. I know you have the teaching by video program via the app. I don’t have the disposable income to enroll in something like that at this time but do you have an option to view my setup, swing and release one time?

[robbiegolding]

Biggest struggle is short game. Switched to a chipping iron because I'm losing so many stokes skulling chips and pitches

[dennismcintosh]

A lot of the principals of this are in the Ben Hogan grip. I'm an interlocker but Hogan was an overlap guy. I pretty much follow his grip except I interlock. Those two fingers on your right hand are everything and should be firmly gripping the club your thumb and index finger on your right hand should be weak. If I flex my thumb on the right hand it activates muscles in my shoulders that cause an over the top motion and a slice.
