Definition: About Golf contributing pro Michael Lamanna explains how to use the interlocking grip: "Take the little finger on the trailing hand and intertwine it with the index finger on the lead hand. The lead hand thumb should fit in the lifeline of the trailing hand." The lead hand is the one that will be holding the butt-end of the shaft.
The Interlocking Grip literally locks the hands together by intertwining the little finger of the bottom hand (trailing hand) with the index finger of the top hand. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods both use the interlock, along with many LPGA players.
