https://www.titleist.co.uk/teamtitleist/team-titleist/f/golf-tips/44936/interlocking-grip Yesterday I went back to the interlocking grip after using an overlapping grip the last few years. I noticed that my ball went about a club length longer and there was a baby fade to most of my shots. I could not hit a draw as easily and was wonderingen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.titleist.co.uk/teamtitleist/thread/245294?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 15 Jun 2019 20:17:22 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:9a46d821-8fc7-47c2-8290-890ef31dcbb5Dr OI have always used interlock, it worked for Jack so why not?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.titleist.co.uk/teamtitleist/thread/244842?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 11 Jun 2019 00:20:14 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:5a427d28-2211-4777-9d2a-9c3afac56029TRobertsonI just switched to interlocking from overlapping after many years. I just fell my grip pressure is lighter for some reason. I have always faded the ball so that has not changed but I do feel I&#39;m a little longer and more importantly with what seems like less effort<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.titleist.co.uk/teamtitleist/thread/244818?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jun 2019 21:04:36 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:b135fcf2-6a33-4bf3-9136-4f913048d32fChuck Zirkle<p>[quote user="GStuart"]I&#39;m interested in this thread as well. I read and re-read Hogan&#39;s 5 Lessons book and decided to switch to an overlapping grip after playing an inter-locking grip for 25 years or so. I&#39;m able to control the ball better with an overlapping grip, but do feel like I&#39;ve given up some distance.<div style="clear:both;"></div>[/quote]</p>That is the main reason I went to the overlapping grip. Control. With the overlap I can draw or or cut the ball much easier when I need to with much more accuracy. Yes, I too have lost distance, but I am approaching 73 years of age. My very best distance now will max out at 270 on a good day if the ground is hard. Got that spin of the face of the driver down to 1800-2200 range. Also have an awesome fitter. There is an adjustment period when making a grip change. Adjusting to the distances.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.titleist.co.uk/teamtitleist/thread/244789?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Jun 2019 19:36:45 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:60310826-c1fe-43b7-9e96-9b2f77d2a310GStuartI&#39;m interested in this thread as well.

That&#39;s what&#39;s baffling.<br /><br /> Can&#39;t wait to hear what the rest of the TT community thinks about this one......<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.titleist.co.uk/teamtitleist/thread/244422?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 06 Jun 2019 22:37:37 GMT9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:762244fe-890e-4e22-b6e5-1f4ebfd71f08Chuck ZirkleInterlocking is a stronger grip. Could be that you are cutting the ball more, the left hand is coming more into play. Hard to draw with a strong left hand grip. <br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>
