Is there really an advantage to using the Super Stroke shape putter grips, or is the old style Ping putter style grips better? What say you?

I like grips that are totally round, no flat side

See? That's why chocolate isn't all the same! I like the flat sided Super Stroke putter grip. It feels very comfortable to me.

Why does Super Stroke have an optional weight for the grip? I thought you would want more weight in the putter head rather than the grip? I have an older Ping Anser 4 that I’m putting a new grip on.

The concept is known as counter weighting or counterbalance

Be careful adding weight to just the grip end. The putter head will feel very light. Counter-weighting putters also adds weight to the head.

Yeah, that is already a light head.  All the older Ping heads are.  We have a couple at the course and it’s like putting with a straw it’s so light.  I have a Ping Redwood Anser and an Anser 2 milled which are heavier.

Grips are such a personal preference as you can see from all the previous replies.  I use a midsize Pingman grip and build it up a couple extra layers.  I tried a putter with the golf pride Snsr grip and liked it too... not too far off from my Pingman.

 

I have the SS midslim on an old Scotty which is only take out if I’m putting like crap and need a different feel to get back on track.

What do you like on your pizza?
Pancakes, Waffles, or French Toast?
What kind of putter grip do you like?

Kind of comes down to personal preference.

I have one putter with the Golf Pride Tour SNSR and I really like that grip

I have another putter with the L.A.B Forward Press Grip and I really like that grip

The L.A.B Forward Press Grip is winning out to become my new go to grip at this moment with the Tour SNSR fading to back up status

re-grip with a Ping grip and you'll get better money for it.

I have a very old, original, Ping Anser that I just replaced the grip on with a Lamkin, SinkFit, pistol grip and my putting improved dramatically. I’ve never putted with a heavy headed club so I can’t compare it to the lighter, vintage Ping. I just know the fatter grip was perfect for me.

Note that there are serveral types of Super Stroke grips.  I use a Super Stroke 2.0 Flatso grip; absolutely love it...used to have the fatter 3.0 (not flatso).  Either way, I can't see myself going back to the thin putter grips.  Only other one I may try is the pistol grip.  Best luck in your search.

Yeah I’m not sure what I will do now I’ve played 2 rounds with the fat grip and it’s feeling better lol...

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

      By snapfade ·

      If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.

      This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
