Hi everyone,

I got fitted recently for a Scotty Cameron Phantom 11 Long and I love it but the default grip (Winn Long 17-Inch Pistol) is too thin for my big hands and I need a thicker grip but the options in 17" inch long grips is minimal

The default grip on my putter is 136 grams so I'm trying to find something of a similar weight.

My two 17" contenders are (in no particular order):

JMX JumboFlat 17 Putter Grip = this grip is 125 grams so not too far away. My concern with this grip is its an armlock grip and I put regular style (right handed: left hand high, right hand low) so is it feasible to put the flat surface of this grip facing forward? I ask this as the flat surface looks quite large

- 2ThumbGrip OG LITE 39 LONG =  this grip is 120 grams so a bit lighter. Is a 16 gram difference between grips going to make a big difference?

One grip that can't be a contender:

- SuperStroke Zenergy Tour 3.0 17" =  this grip is only 93 grams so it's far too light and also this grip is incompatible with SuperStroke's weight system so one cannot add weight

Does anyone have any experience, ideas or thoughts on this scenario?

For the grips that are 125 grams and 120 grams, can you add more weight somehow to get close to the original weight?

Cheers!

I don't know for sure if this would work, but I know when people want the head heavier they add lead tape to the bottom of the clubhead, maybe you could add lead tape underneath the grip?

You might have trouble getting the grip on over the tape, probably depends on what grip you choose and how much weight you would need to add.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
