Overlap Grip

The most common golf grip style, also known as the Vardon grip, where the pinky finger of the trailing hand overlaps between the index and middle fingers of the lead hand. This grip promotes unified hand action, provides excellent control, and allows proper wrist hinge during the swing. The overlap grip is used by the majority of professional golfers and is recommended for players with normal-sized hands. Proper overlap grip technique involves appropriate pressure, correct finger placement, and unified hand positioning that promotes consistent swing mechanics. This grip style helps prevent independent hand action that can cause inconsistent ball-striking.
