i have a winn giant pistol grip and i love it. my putting problem was i would be way to wristy in my stroke and would never put a good roll on the ball. with the new grip i roll the ball much better. fyi, it took me a while to regain the feel on long putts. idk if its just me, but long putts with the new grip have a different feel now. that being said, i never go back to a standard grip

i put one on my putter less than a week ago. i personally think it helps me with feel, and keeps my wrist out of the equation.

i added a SuperStroke grip to my Odyssey 2-ball putter after getting yippy on short puts. It really has reduced my hand/wrist action. Note at least for the original SuperStroke, the putter didn't feel right for a while due to the weight of the grip. After several big strips of lead tape on the putter head, and voila, it feels normal again and my putting is a LOT better now. very happy with the decision.

I agree with all the posts above but one thing I noticed when I added a bigger putter grip is that it made a big difference in the feel of the putter. It really deadened the feel off the face for me but I've gotten used to it now so it's fine.

The theory behind a larger grip taking the hands out of the stroke is good, but if your wrists are breaking down, a grip the size of a redwood tree isn't going to help. You need a sound putting stroke from the get-go. A visit to YOUTUBE and search "putting tips" would be a good start. Or a lesson from your local pro.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

    • Day 12: did the yardstick putting drill for a bit while watching tv. 
    • Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length. 
    • Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!
    • Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground. 
    • Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
