Page 12 - The Grip

The Interlocking grip has the right pinkie finger slotted

between the left pointer finger and middle finger.

The main difference between the Vardon and Interlocking grips

is that the Vardon allows nine fingers to touch the grip and the

Interlock allows eight fingers to touch the grip. It has been

suggested that the Interlocking grip is better for people with

small or weak hands, but sometimes it just comes down to

comfort.

The 10-finger or baseball grip is probably a good choice for

children where hand size and strength are initially a problem,

but most good juniors switch later to a Vardon or Interlock with

the main deciding factor probably being the preference of their

coach or parent.
