Putting Grips

[trebmalenad]

Now I'm talking about the actual grip on the putter, not your grip with your hands. I've heard rumors that fatter putter grips have a better feel. Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm looking to shave off some strokes

I actually switched to the Winn jumbo grip this week for my Ping Anser. I like it. Seems to help me keep my left wrist quiet. Made three par putts longer than six feet yesterday which is pretty good for me.

Thats really a personal thing, I dont belive there is really a "better" putter grip. Its what feels best to you. I havent experienced the jumbo grips but I would imagine they add more weight to the putter and make it feel clumpy. I prefer the skinny pingman grips because i can get the feeling better of my hands fingers and putter shaft being one if I have less obstruction.

I totally agree.

There is no better putter grip > just one that works best for you . Bigger/fatter grips are great for people who tend to collapse/break their wrists at some stage during the swing.

Your putting grip is obviously a personal choice, but here are some rules of thumb that might guide your decision.

-If you have trouble breaking your wrists, consider a larger grip. A bigger grip will inhibit wrist breakdown.
-From most reviews I have heard as well as mine, a smaller grip will create a better sense of distance control (this may or may not prove true to you)
-If a grip feels good to you but is too small, get it and have a few extra wraps of tape put in it. You will get both the right size and the right feel then.
-There are two main shapes of putter grips: pistol and paddle. The pistol gets larger in the back of the top hand, while a paddle grip is fairly constant in size all the way up.
-If you struggle with grip pressure or hand and wrist pain, consider a softer putter to fix that issue.

Best o luck finding a good grip.

Definately get fatter grips. They really give you more feel on the putting greenand if your are playing a tournament and there is a lot of pressure you won't tense up when you are putting and pull or push the ball. It keeps you're hands relaxed through your putting stroke.

fat grips are a joke.

tht sums it up. it makes the putter heavy and harder to swing in a rythmic stroke.
