I was thinking about giving the huge KJ Choi grip a shot today. THe golf stores around these parts are having huge discounts and I have decide to regrip my putter with a large grip. Heck I might even regrip my wedges while I am at.

I have used a similar Winn grip on my Scotty Cameron and it works fine, helps take the wrist out of the putt.

1) I also changed my grip. What I now do is make sure that I am gripping with the crease of my left hand on the putter grip, this seem to take the wrist out of putting and make the putter feel more one with my arm or an extension of my arm.

2) I also change my grip to a prayer style grip where my hands are opposite each other.

3) I also found that if I keep the putter low to the ground on my take away that I keep the line of my putts more consistently.

4) I also use a slight forward press.

I didn't like the super size grips, but I recently put a Winn oversize (I think it's the mid not the jumbo) grip on my 2 Ball putter. I love it. Now when I put a regular grip putter in my hand, it feels foreign and I don't feel like I have the same sense of control as I do with my newer grip. About the same time, I made a conscious effort to use the grip recommended by Stan Utley in his putting book (more in the left hand than in the fingers). Between the two changes, my putting stats have improved drastically lately.

I also do a slight forward press with my putter. I feel like I have to since the putter does have some loft to it.

I had the pure pendulum jumbo grip once. No big issue with it.
However, I now have the lady size Winn W8 iron grip installed to my putters. The round shape of the grip give good feedback of club face rotation and the smaller diameter makes the wrist break felt more noticable.
I know it is personal with putters and grips. Now I can adjust my grip pressure for different strokes more easily.

My buddy I play with has one of the jumbo Winn grips on his putter. He has improved his distance control but his accuracy isn't great. I personally hate the feel of how big it is.

    • 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?
