probably beaver

I don't, they just don't lace correctly for me. I prefer the standard lacing system.

So not worth the money?

I know some people who love them, it just triggers a funky pressure point when I put then on. Like I need them to be either less right or a little tighter. The setting just don't feel right.

Just went to the range during lunch and hit a small bucket and then did some putting.
I have been toying with going back to a 10-finger grip (from an interlock). I don't know if it is mental or what, but I was hitting straighter and farther with the 10-finger grip. Damn it.
When I started playing a couple years ago I used a 10-finger. I was slicing the frick out of everything and then switched to the interlock probably 16 months ago and it reduced my slice. Now that (I think) my swing is improving, the interlock started to feel like it was impeding my hands. Does this make sense to any of you? Or am I just over thinking everything?

Do not use 10 finger, it'll cause your right hand to take over everything.
If you're going to switch, go overlap

I tried that and my right hand kept slipping off the club.

Try cross handed . Can't figure out how that guy from the big break didn't break his wrists with that

Your grip may need some work then. You also don't need your right hand on the club at impact. Look at Couples. Granted, he flips it.
Look in Hogans 5 lessons for where the pressure points should be in your grip. On the right hand, it's only your ring and middle finger. Which is why a ten finger is a bad thought

He's more specific than that. The middle of those two digits shouldn't really have any pressure being applied.

In Hogans swing, the right hand was just along for the ride so the ball wouldn't go left. Amateur players should be trying to curve it left, then work back from there

Thats how I have been doing it with the interlock. Maybe I'll try the overlap again. If my softball team loses the first game of our playoffs tonight, I might head to the range again haha
ETA: This is what I have been following as far as placing the right hand
quote:
We have identified the right-hand grip as being taken with the second and third fingers because, of course, the index finger is separated slightly from the middle finger and is hooked low around the club.
The little finger, in the overlapping or interlocking grips, does not touch the club at all. In the so-called ten-finger grip, though, the little finger would grasp the club exactly as the second and third do.
In taking our grip we recommend placing the left hand on the club first in its proper position, then sliding the right under the shaft, fingers extended and palm up.
As the club slips into the little groove where the fingers meet the palm, slide no farther.
Close the hand then, moving it up the shaft slightly so that the third finger fits against the index finger of the left hand and the little finger overlaps or rests on top of the left index finger.
The right hand fitting against the left, with the center of the base of the right palm moving onto the big knuckle at the base of the left thumb. You will find that the palm of the right comes up and faces directly to the left, and that the center of the base of the right hand fits snugly over the big knuckle at the base of the left thumb.
Both thumbs will be on the shaft, the, left lying a little to the right of the top (at about 2 o'clock in aviation parlance) and the right lying to the left of the top, at about 10 or 10:30 o'clock.

You're saying work a cut, and try to straighten it out from there?

When I see somebody with the right thumb going straight down the grip, or to the right of it, I smh.
