I recently got a custom grip on my putter for the first time...With a Winn grip.
Personally, I like my grip on the thinner side and soft. Being able to wrap my hands around the grip when it's hugging the shaft gives me a better feel with my putter, and be "one with the club," per say. And the soft grip just feels good in my hands, and when I feel good a putt good. The little things fellas.

What kind of putter grip do y'all prefer? Or any grip for that matter.

I have tried them all, regular, mid size and jumbo. I use regular (Odyssey Tempest) I found I have much better feel, especialy on long puts.

The Iomic grips have a flat front which makes it easy to align. I have the Midsize i think, which makes enough room for your thumb to sit nicely. That's why i chose it, even though they are the most expensive polymer grip i think.
What I Play:
Wilson Mini Stand Bag | PING G10, 10.5°, Proforce V2 HL S | PING G5, 15°, 18°, Aldila NV 75 S | PING G5, 19°, Aldila VS Proto By You 80 S

Im the same, my putter grip is very soft and thin, I like to feel like my hands have full control of the putter then I can grip it very lightly and do a smooth stoke

Winn AVS.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

I really love the stock odyssey grips....esp the black series. Just has that thin stickiness feeling to it. I do like the stock Scotty Pistol grip I have on my Del Mar though.

I have been a Winn grip user my whole life until recently. I discovered a new putter grip online made by JBD Golf. Seems like they're a fairly new company and rumor has it they are working on a deal with Winn to move their product into the market on a Winn grip. The grip actually has a ball marker built into the end cap which is really quite ingenious. It is very convenient and it adds a great look to the grip as well.

I use a Winn excel AVS, midsize pistol. I recently switched from a regular, and I don't have any bouts with the midsize. I'd like to try the Golf Pride Tour Tradition, with a few extra wraps under the grip, just because I'm a GP guy.

I had the Winn jumbo pistol on my Scotty Cameron but it took away a lot of the sensitivity and the colors tended to run a little bit. I have the standard Ping grips on all 4 of my putters now (Anser, Anser 2, B60, and Zing) but would like to try the Golfpride V-RAD sometime on one of them to see how they work out.
My Implements of Destruction (carried in a Hoofer Lite bag):

DRIVER: Big Bertha Diablo 10 degree draw, Aldila regular flex
FAIRWAY WOODS: G2 14 degree 3 wood & 17 degree 5 wood
IRONS: S59 3-PWWEDGES: M/B 54, 58, & 60 degree PUTTER: I Series Anser 4 (or G5i Anser, Anser 2F, or original...

I use the standard Ping Pingman Black Putter Grip. I've been using the grip for the last 15 (regripped of course) years on my Anser 2 and even if I get a Scotty, I'll still get it regripped with the Pingman.

Cheers, Allan

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
