Question for interlock grip users

[S17er]

Do you chip with the same grip or revert to conventional? I'm beginning to think the interlock is not compatible with 'soft hands' and finding conventional better.

You can use the grip you find works best.

Interlocking is good for full shots but I bet many move to normal for pitching and chipping.

What’s “Normal”?

I use it for all shots and can’t see any benefit of chopping and changing. Quite the reverse in fact.

I agree don’t see why you’d change

Changing adds another variable and most of us have too many of those as it is...
But, if it produces results...don't knock it

I've never putted with interlocking grip and as chipping is a putting like stroke it seems sensible to use the same grip as for putting. I can do both but thinking that interlock makes me hold the club tighter/more tension which is no good when trying to gently flight a 60 deg 2 yards onto putting surface with dead hands.

I wouldn't say changing the grip adds a variable, since its not a range of deliveries, its more changing the equation.

i can't quite make up my mind which i prefer TBH, Used interlocking for a while, then switched to overlap and have spells where i use either.

I don't know why you grip the club tighter with an interlocking grip, there's no need.

Unless the change of grip is automatic, you have to think about changing it.
And thinking on the golf course is bad!!!
Especially during the swing.

 

[One Planer]

I personally don't change as I don't see the point.

Stay with the interlock for all types of shots, always used it and happy with it. Only time i use an over lap as for putting as it just feel better for me, I will use an interlock for putting if going left hand low which I try out from time to time if struggling with putting just to get a different feels.

 

[Curls]

Interlock for everything except putting.

Don't ask me for advice on putting

 

[Robster59]

Interlock for everything for me. Never even considered changing. Golf can be complicated enough, why add extra complication?

I interlock for all shots except putting.
And with chipping, I'm not particularly 'handsy', I prefer to use rotation of the shoulders as my preferred technique.

What ever works for you though, plenty of ways to play the game.

 

[njrose51]

I use interlocking. You just relax the hands for that soft shot. No drama.

 

[NorwichBanana]

Interlock for all shots, even putting. Although I am left hand low when putting...with a Fatso 5.0 grip !

 

[Hosel Fade]

Yes still chip with an interlock, so does Tiger (the only tour player I know for certain that uses interlock, obviously there are plenty of others)

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I'd keep it simple and stick to the interlocking. Practice. Use a lighter grip and work on the technique

 

[garyinderry]

I can hit full shots with interlock and overlapping grips. simply cannot chip like that. Lose all fell. I always chip using 10 finger grip.
