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.
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.
