Over the years I've fiddled with all sorts of ways to hold/grip these clubs.
I tend to favour putting my left Index finger over my little finger rather than the conventional Verdon grip.

I was just wondering if others have tried or settled with this grip?
I find that my ball striking is solid, I'm able to steer the ball better
and in chipping it helps to keep the club from flipping.
 
Initially I found the little finger was getting crushed but by weakening
my right hand I found the little fingernail sat between the root of the
left hand ring and little finger.

I also tried moving the overlapping index finger over to the right
hand ring finger and that stopped the crush but I preferred to weaken
my right hand grip to a more neutral position.
