Lately, I been using the "dangling" left forefinger for the full swing and I been compressing the ball solidly. I don't need to feel the first metacarpalphangeal joint of my index finger on the grip.
In fact I think having it off makes it less restrictive for the left forearm to rotate and makes horizontal hinging much easier.
Odd isn't it that the mirror image of that joint in the right hand is PP3
Strange too is that when I take my grip I am specific in my hands where not to grip as well as which specifc points to grip.
In my swing,Which areas in the hand not to grip seems to be as important or even more important than the PP.
One difference between interlock and overlapping is that interlocking puts the palm of the right hand more parallel to the shaft. Thus you need to bend your right wrist more to get the same flying wedge.
I recently read that Jum Furyk uses a double overlap. That will give him even more right wrist bend "for free" than the regular overlap. He said that he got a better transition this way. I am convinced that the wrist bend was a bottle neck for him earlier.

I hadn't realized the implication of going to interlocking in regards to wrist alignments. Very interesting find BerntR !

I have tried the interlock and find it difficult on the inside of the knuckles of the interlocked fingers. I cannot wait to put the double overlap into operation.

Do you think YODA just shakes his head wondering what in the world his children are talking about? ...

BerntR,
You are right. The double overlap is the best way to hold the club. I have been trying it out on the range past month and it feels superior to the interlock.
I can feel and monitor PP#1 much better.
PP#2 feels more secure. modifications I made was just slightly smaller diameter grip size on my clubs, nontapered grip. and hold the club with strong left hand grip. The club sits way more into my fingers with tightest pressure over the little finger and progressive less toward the ring finger and middle finger. The left index finger sits on top of the grip with no pressure on the grip.
