I've tried to grip the club like this, and find it so unstable with the right hand. With the right hand, are you "gripping" the left hand, or the club?
I regard the usual (single) overlap as perhaps the most neutral, middle ground grip here.
But I don't see why different golfers shouldn't modify towards double overlap or towards interlocking if that puts the right hand in a better position throughout the stroke.

My right hand covers my left hand. The only part of my right hand grip touching the shaft is my right middle finger and a bit of my right index finger at the 1st knuckle.
Even though my right hand is holding mostly my left hand I feel like I am "gripping" the primary lever assembly(left arm and clubshaft) 6-A-2.
Double overlap works only if I have a strong left hand grip. If I weaken my left hand for whatever reason, then I revert to grip with interlocking or 10 fingered.
Curiously, I find the vardon grip to be least desirable. I feel the need to either interlock to stablize the grip, or double overlap to stablize the grip.
The 2 finger overlap feels very much like a 10-2-D grip.
When I was trying to feel comfortable with this grip, I was doing the Sergio thing at Bethpage.....the constant regriping. But after 1 hour of hitting balls the grip felt was very comfortable.
I want my left wrist cocking motion to be inline with a bent right wrist. My left hand has three knuckles showing.
I just find that the double action works better with 2 finger overlap rather than single overlap.
When I use the interlocking or ten finger I tend to default to a strong or weak single action Grip. If I try to use double action with interlocking or baseball grip, it feels like my hands are fighting each other.
I noticed that when I "waggle" my hands I am adjusting from a double action to single action grip.
When I "milk" the grip I trying to achieve a double action grip.

Ok, I understand. I was able to grip it more solidly after reading this post. That said, I prefer the interlock. My left side is stronger than my right, and I find that the overlap and double overlap seem to keep my hands from working together. The left just seems to take over and drag the handle through. The interlock seems to balance things out.
