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 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
