So as tends to happen to all golfers I'm sure - I was looking for a new hybrid and ended up finding a putter.  I wasn't that impressed with my old putter, but as I bought it when I was very new to golf, it done the job,

I bought a Taylormade Corza Tour, blah blah blah putter (the same one that Justin Rose uses I believe).  Anyway, on my old putter I had a 2 thumb grip fitted; simply because coming from cricket I liked the thicker grip and it helped when I started using the claw grip.

Anyway, I have purchased a 2 thumb grip for this putter; however having putted with the new putter briefly, it felt pretty good.  Now I'm unsure of whether to go with the original plan, or whether this might ruin the feel of the putter.

Ideas?

Yes, putt with the new one as is; if it fails, try the new grip

I put an oversized grip on my ancient Cobra mallet and I couldn't believe the difference it made as I am rolling the ball true and on a straighter line. My touch is impeccable on the greens now from 30' and in. Give it a try you might like it. I paid 11 bucks at Dicks for the grip and labor.

This. Use it as is for now; changing the grip, especially to a much larger one will change the feel for sure.

I agree with @Mr. Desmond and @tristanhilton85 . Especially since you disliked the old one enough that you wanted a change. Use the stock one for a while, and if you don't like the feel replace it.

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
