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 59: just a short bit of mirror work and foam balls. Working on the leg stuff throughout the swing. 
    • Day 601 - 2026-05-25 Short-ish day with only some later Skillest lessons, so I stayed after and got some swings in. GEARS Hybrid was set up for a lefty, so… not that. 🙂 
    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.
