Interlock. Crushed my right pinkie with a bowling ball as a child and it's bent so makes overlap difficult

You're probably flipping. Overlap could help that

I'm going to give the overlap a try since my ball flight is so high.

You know, I think you're right about that.

So 7-8 top 100 are teaching 75% of the future pga tour. Awesome. They must be booked 24/7. Lol. Interlock is going away quickly. Ever since the early 90's.

I have used baseball grip for years and switched to overlap about 6 months ago.

I started with interlock when I first started playing about 15 years ago and have no desire to switch. I'm not good at golf, and I play so infrequently (mabe 3 or 4 times a year) that I don't see the point in switching up and getting familiar with something new.

So question for those that know their stuff. I have big hands and a pretty strong grip but have always used interlock because I have never really known anything else. I have a consistently low ball flight and a slight fade on most of my shots. Would overlap possibly help this?

I don't see where you posted a problem.

I would like to have a slightly higher ball flight on my approach irons. As of now, I often play one club shorter in order to roll it to where I want exactly. I would like to be able to flight it higher and fly it in. I also can't even hit over a tree even with my freaking sand wedge

What about movin it back it a little. The ball position I mean. Would that help?

I have long skinny fingers, so interlock feels better for me.

Generally, interlock might not be best if your hands are too active and you have clubface rotation inconsistency.

Looks like the Interlock is more popular on TD.
