Overlap > also called the Vardon Grip, is when the little finger of your lower hand overlaps (placed in the channel) the index and middle finger of your upper hand.  Interlock > the little finger of the lower hand intertwines with the index finger of the upper hand which links both hands as one.  10-Finger (baseball) >all 10 fingers are on the grip just as if it were a baseball bat.  The lower little finger butts up against the index finger of the upper hand (a good grip for beginners and some seniors).
