The Grips
Number 3 should be zeroed out or very close to being zeroed out. This will have the putter resting under the thumb pad of the hand or very close to this. Meaning, don't have the putter sitting completely under the heel pad of the hand as you would the 300 yard drive. There is simply too much power there.
The left palm and the right palm should be parallel BASICALLY. The left hand grip is "Lord of the grip" as Lynn says and should be considered the clubface. So the closer it matches the face the better off you are. There are times when a player needs to turn their left hand on the club creating a considerable difference between face and palm but they are rare.
The right hand should have the index finger on the back of the grip and the thumb "basically" down the shaft. It may lay a little right or a little left depending on how close your thumb is held to the hand.
Overlap, interlock, reverse overlap, ten finger are all acceptable. You will know which one works for you as soon as you put your hands on it. It is like buying a Harley- You can't buy from the picture, you must get on it and "feel" the bike to make a decision.
