I tried the overlapping grip yesterday at the range, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didn't feel like I had as much of a grip on the club and couldn't swing as hard as with the interlocking grip. The ball did seem to go a little more to the left with overlapping than it does with the interlocking grip. It might be something I'll continue to play with, but I don't see myself making a change.

Show me one reputable golf reference (within the last 5 decades) that states the overlapping grip rotates the club more. Then I will gladly rescind my statement to you.

Locking or unlocking your fingers has no bearing on how you can pronate or suppinate your wrists, nor does it change your swing path, nor angle of approach (all factors in shaping golf shots).

DA,

Do you happen to work at the driving range up at Polaris?

You could have been hitting a little farther left because you changed to a stronger (close handed) grip when you switched to overlapping. Again, I'll take a look at the BP outing.

Thanks Thump - it is a terrific facility. So far this year has been our best in a long time. The shop is back under local ownership and the two owners (Tom Brock and Brian Larson) are two of the best people in the business.

I would not be in golf today if it wasn't for them. The Range has been there since 1986 and was there when Polaris didn't exist and the Range was considered out in BFE. Now it's the only greenspace left in Polaris and AFAIK it isn't going anywhere till 2012.

What I like is that you guys have some nice practice bunkers which most places do not have.

Also a spacious putting green.

You guys SHOULD be proud of that place.

Glad to hear business is good!

I might stop over and hit a few balls during lunch. It's a short drive.

I hit some balls on Sunday with the overlapping and was pushing everything to the right as well. It probably had more to with an incorrect overlapping grip than anything else.

I then switched back to my normal grip and shot a 39. Best of the year so far. I think I may have found a fix. I will go hit balls with some wacky ass grip which feels really uncomfortable. I will then play with my normal grip which after hitting a bucket with the uncomfortable grip will all the sudden feel muy excelente...thus allowing me to dominate!!!!
