Putting grip

[keb]

I am considering going to a left hand low putting grip. Thoughts or experiences with changing putting grip.

I have been using the left hand low or reverse grip for about 2 years now and it help me square my shoulder to the target. I also make sure that the putter grip lays on the crease of my palm and not closer to my fingers to make my grip feel solid and more one piece this help take the wrist out of the putt.

I recently played and had only 24 putts for 18 holes including 12 one putts and 6 two putts. 11 putts on the front nine and 13 putts on the back nine.

well, I read something on golf.com about the putting grip where you try to hold the putter more on the sides, thumbs not so lined up like your other clubs where you need to rotate your hands. It makes a lot of sense especially when you see all these putting training aids where it separates your hands to the side to promote you to hold that triangle made by your forearms and take the wrists out in two ways, rotationally and linearly.

what I like about it is that I got to keep my grip close to what it was so it was quick to take up and see results.

any grip change feels weird as first. sometimes a change is needed if your standard grip isnt working. i sometimes switch from my standard grip to the reverse grip or the claw if im not putting well. i find great success when i change, and even better success when i go back to standard after making the change. its a real confidence booster.

I've used a reversed grip when putting for... years and I don't think I'll ever go back to a normal grip. For me a reverse grip helps restrict any excess shoulder turn or wristiness creating a flatter stroke. It also helps me eliminate a forward press in my initial setup, which helps me keep my eyes over the ball without feeling like I'm striking down on a putt.

The key is to find something that feels comfortable and to stick with it, IMO. Good luck!
