Like the title says how do you grip your putter? Like a full shot or something different?

Reverse overlap. I put my bottom hand on first, aim then put my left hand

Posted
Full shot....interlock.


Putting and fringe chipping I use my putting grip which allows the palms to face each other more. Left hand high....left middle finger rests against right ring finger....right pinkie overlaps my left middle finger....left trigger finger overlaps the groove between right ring and middle fingers. Thumbs both on top of the putter.

My best results lately (12 months) have been with straight back--straight through.....face balanced mallet with an oversize grip. I did dable some with more of an arc-ing / releasing stroke, thus the midslant. I may go back when things get stale with this set up.

I've been through many styles over the years, but like Dub, I now use a normal interlocking grip which is strange because I use a Vardon overlap on my full shots. I do a little forward press like Mickelson with my hands before I start my stroke. I have been putting better than I have in a few years with this technique.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

My regular grip: interlocking. Never had a reason to change it. Putt better than anyone else I know, really.

I use a overlap for my regular shots.

Putting I use a reverse overlap (left index overlapping right fingers). Just seems to work for me.

i use a vardon grip on full shots, but use an interlocking grip on my putter, and with my right index finger extended down the right side of the shaft. i'm not sure where that habit developed from, but it feels comfortable, and while three-putts aren't non-existant for me (i wish), they aren't common, either. on average, i'd say two 3-putts per round.

Double interlock.

Something I have been playing with lately is grip pressure. This has made me a better putter literally over night.

I was holding the putter way too tight in hindsight. I am now holding the "baby dove". Ha ha.. It works.

I used to putt this way, recently changed to a reverse overlap grip and am much more consistant with my distances.
