Putter Grips?

Should be about the same as when I cut down my B60 from 35 to 33". Now I'm not saying that it's right or wrong, I know it's gonna be lighter, but it should be what I'm used to.

I have heard this method, but it is surely risky to do the powder your self considering you wont know how much to put in. If your 'club guy' can't do the powder for you and look at the swingweight changes, then find another guy - there will be someone who can do it.

i have about 10 of my clubs gripped white. what ive learned is to use alcohol wipes ($3 at wal mart) after every 5 rounds or so. works like a dream. they look like brand new after a cleaning.

Thanks for the advice - Would going over it lightly with white spirit have the same effect?

[huskyhacker]

you could try, but im not sure.

i know for fact that the alcohol wipes works perfectly.

Can't you just cut it down, and slide a grip on to test it with no grip tape? It's not like you'll be swinging for the fences with a putter. I know the grip might move on an off center strike, but at least you'd be able to get a feel for some different grips and be able to change them out without destroying them. Then when you decide which feels best, install correctly.

Nothing beats the soft feel of cabretta leather..

i use a scotty cameron newport terylium 34 inches with standard original grip but i have 3 rolls of karakel badminton racket tape round the grip to make it really thick and comfortable

works a treat

try the new thick putter grips, about 1 - 1.5 inch thick.

i have changed recently and am putting better, it seems to take the tension out of your hands and relocates the load of the putter to your forearms and biceps.
it takes the influence of the tendons in your wrists out of the equation, which is a good thing IMHO (umm, -but i am not humble).
makes for a better pendulum action.

My regular putter has a jumbo Winn AVS grip on it that I installed in June. When I put it on I had been putting really horribly, and I had my worst round of the year right after putting it on, but I think my putting stroke has gotten better. My hands are much more quiet, but statistically it hasn't translated into any dropped strokes.

The lefty putter that I just bought has a Golf Pride Tour grip on it. It's really slick and cracked, so I have to change that out. I was thinking of staying with a normal size grip, and looking at the selection at Golf Galaxy they had the Ping Blackout grip for $5, and the Scotty Cameron Studio grip for $15! Literally the same grip, both made by Golf Pride, but the Scotty name is worth $10. I'll probably go with the Ping.

Here is what I ended up with. It's a Maltby wrap made by Golf Galaxy. Not quite sure yet if I'll keep it on there but it was only $3.



Edit: I was going to post a picture but for some reason I cannot get it to work. I have tried image hosting and attachments. I did a very tedious search about posting pictures but never really found anything that helped. Anyone have a good step by step method for an almost computer literate user?

SWEET!!! I figured it out!

That's a nice looking grip..especially for $3.00 ...
