I've used both at various times in my golfing life. Which do you use, and what do you think the pros and cons are?
Vardon or interlocking grip?

Vardon myself. Just always felt more natural to me. No idea what the pros and cons are!

both
tended to slice with interlocking and come over the top with overlapping (it's easier to feel more power in the hands with this grip but that's not necessarily a good thing!
hand size and mobility are factors but at the end of the day they both work fine and it's the rest of the set up that's more important than which

Changed to Vardon from my initial Hockey inspired Baseball/10 finger grip.
Interlock just felt strange and uncomfortable when holding a club with a distinct loss of power!
However I use interlock for putting - it tends to keep the hands working as a unit rather than separately.

Only ever played with an interlocking grip. It just feels natural
Unlike the Vardon which feels like my fingers are being ripped apart - uncomfortable and I have virtually no control with it.
Pros and cons?
Not a clue

Interlocking. I have girly small hands

I use interlocking for wedges and putting and Vardon for everything else. If my fingers did not get sore I would use interlocking all the time.

Vardon, having started off with interlock as a junior.
Pros: Vardon grip guarantees you an extra 15 yards off the tee
Cons: it also makes you want to write absolute bollocks on Internet forums

Unless you put a club in my hands... I don't know. I think interlocking...

I changed from interlocking to Vardon as I felt that interlocking was causing my right hand to be too strong. I got used to the change very quickly

Neither.
you pick up a bat and you think "I must overlap my pinky or interlock them to get a better grip" :rofl:

Tried this tonight, as I was hooking everything off the tee and felt very bottom hand dominant. It seemed to work, I'll see what happens if I stick with it .
