What's your putting grip?

[goblue107501]

I am a righty that uses a standard, left-handed overlap grip. I had been playing around with the left hand low grip for a while. It helps me keep longer putts online. Then one round this year I hit a couple of bad putts and just made the switch mid round. I don't think I have made any more or less from switching, but if I miss, the putt coming back is much closer.

Reverse interlock, palms parallel. Seems to limit stray hand-action which pulls putts offline.

I dont think there is a better or worse way to grip your putter as long as it works for you. I use a standard reverse overlap. I also chip with this grip.

I use the standard grip. None of the other grips feel comfortable for me, and I don't have too much trouble with keeping putts in line. Now speed and reads are a whole other story.

i use a right over left two finger interlocked grip...

[Devo]

Baseball grip with both thumbs down the front of the grip and no extended index fingers. Grip has medium to light pressure.

[Koth]

I use the Stan Utley grip too. Except I don't overlap my right hand pinky finger.

Mine looks like this with a key, but crucial difference:  the right hand sits one finger-width lower on the shaft so the left index finger sits in between the right index finger and pinky.  This does two things that have all but eliminated random loss of feel throughout the year:

1.  It opens the shoulders slightly giving me a better sense of the target line

2.  It raises the importance of the right hand in my minds eye, gives my right hand more control, and turns the feel knob from a 6 to about a 9.

That small grip change is the sole reason I'm back to averaging less than 30 putts per round these days.  I really feel like I'm rolling a ball with my right hand now.  Not releasing the putter is also a non-option because blocking is about twice as hard with the hands like this.

Cross-handed - left hand low, or lefty grip,whatever you want to call it.  I started that a couple years ago to fight a tendency to pull putts and found that it worked exceedingly well for me.  I'm so used to it now, a standard grip feels weird.

Standard baseball grip with the right index whisky finger

[n8dogg2669]

cross handed, or left hand low as some call it, with my fingers overlapping just like a left handed golf grip. Been the same for 14 years now.

I prefer the traditional grip simply because it feels the most natural to me.  For a while I putted crosshanded but I found it too difficult to do lag putts with.  I experimented with the claw too, but that just felt too weird for me.

The traditional grip feels much like my normal grip (interlock) and gives me 1 less thing to think about while Im standing over the ball about to putt.

I use a reverse overlap grip.

[The Recreational Golfer]

Interlocking.

I started using this grip last year, and it has been nothing but awesome. Extending the index fingers down both sides of the grip keeps my wrists quiet during the stroke,

Cross-handed, standard baseball grip, shoulders level

[lumpuckeroo]

Left hand low, like Tugglife2.  I putt with my shoulders/chest, this helps me take my hands out of the putt.
