Hey guys. I think we all know theres a million different ways to hold your scotty cameron or odyssey while trying to hole a 15 foot putt. What do you feel is best and why? I prefer the traditional grip, being the left hand's index finger down the fingers of the bottom right hand.

I grip the putter in the fingers of my left hand with my thumb pointed down the shaft, then with my right hand I wrap my pinky and ring finger around the index finger of my left hand. Then I point my right index finger down the right side of the putter shaft. This grip really gives me a light touch with stability to boot.

I haven't developed another type of grip other than my usual interlock grip that I use for the other clubs... Maybe with lessons I'll change my grip, but I'm learning to work with it as is (with minimal putting experience.. putting green sessions and a couple rounds of golf).

What's in my Tartan Precise TS-869 Bag:
Woods: Northwestern 1W, 3W, stock grip
Hybrids: 855 Graphite shaft 3H, 4H, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Irons: 855 R flex steel shaft 5-PW, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Wedges: PureSpin Tour Series Diamond Face 52* AW, 56* SW, 60* LW, Golf Pride...

This is my lefty putting grip.Left hand comes back underneath the grip.Kinda weird but it works.Picked it up from watching Padraig Harrington.

A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

I use a standard baseball grip with a slight forward press with the ball played a little off my front (left) foot.

I do the exact same thing! It helps keep that putting stroke.

Standard overlap grip. Tried, and really liked, the reverse overlap but due to an old football injury (broke my right hand) my fingers do not bend "normally" so the reverse overlap created a lot of space between my hands and just felt wrong.

Interlock, no different from my grip for the other clubs. The shaft is a bit more in my palms I guess, but that's more a function of the shape of the club grip than anything conscious.

Single reverse overlap in the fingers. I used to also use a 10 finger grip, in the fingers again. I go back and forth between the two when things get ugly.

+1. Me too although my right index finger chops and changes between that in the picture and straight down the shaft.
