Vardon Overlap

Vardon Overlap

Vardon Overlap

A grip in which the fingers overlap. In the Vardon Overlap, also known as the Vardon Grip, the hands wrap around the golf club such that the lower hand’s pinkie overlaps with the fingers of the higher, or lead hand, and rests between the first and second finger of the lead hand. The lead hand’s thumb sits in the meaty hollow in the palm of the lower, or trailing hand (Lamanna, About.com). This is a popular grip and one used by many professionals (Kelley, About.com) and taught by many instructors. This grip is named after early 20th-century golfing great Harry Vardon.
