I have just made the switch to cross-handed, and I am putting amazing. I have shot in the sixties 2/3 of my last rounds since making the change. I have an upcoming AJGA tournament and I really hope I keep up my putting.

Cross handed for about 5 years. I also make sure that my life line is down the shaft instead of my fingers and that the shaft of the putter is fairly straight with my arm for a solid connection without movement. my lowest round of putts was 26 for 18 holes.

Cross-handed ... that's just the way that feels best to me ... helps me keep things less "handsie" ...

[right handed phil mickelson]

Regular grip like any other club but with pointer finger running down length of the shaft. Keeps things nice and straight and mostly prevents any balls from running way too far past the hole.

I've been putting cross-handed for 16 years. It works for me and conventional just feels weird to me after all these years.

[Prairie Golfer]

Conventional, but I'm a lefty playing right handed.

I changed to Cross-Handed a week ago, I'm not going back!

[Zeph]

Somewhat like the picture below. Left index finger overlap and go more across the right hand fingers, both thumbs at the top of the grip.

Same grip in the photo used by Zeph. My most basic key is getting the handle into the lifeline of my left hand and using a bit of forward press. I picked up this style from Stan Utley, but I haven't read that book in a few months so I may have modified it to my own tastes at this point.

Went to cross handed last year. Has helped me with the 3-4 feet putts particularly. Took me awhile to adjust on longer putts. Now I won't go back to conventional.
