Putting grip?

[walk18]

Has anyone here recently changed from traditional to reverse overlap, left hand low, or something else? And have you found more success with it?

I used to go with convential, i.e. right hand below left, palms facing each other. Always considered myself a mediocre putter with litte in the way of any feel for distance.

Earlier this year, however, I started experimenting with the "claw grip." It didn't take too long either for me to feel really confident with this approach, and managed 26 putts on an outing back in June.

Lately, my putting has been off with too many missed shorts putts, but I'm sure this is an issue with my actual alignment rather than technique.

I have a strange grip which keeps my wrists from moving. I wrap and interlock all my finger together with my palms facing each other. Except for the two fingers next to the thumbs which I point straight down the shaft. ..........Well it works for me.

im a believer that putting is the only part of golf where the grip doesnt matter and you just do what feels comfortable to you

Putting is the one thing I am fairly consistent at. I use a standard right hand lower grip but I point my index finger down the shaft. I feel like it keeps my wrrist from moving.

I went to left hand low 7 or 8 years ago and found it suited me very well. Basically my left arm becomes an extension of the shaft, all I have to do is rock my shoulders and hit the ball.

I used to grip the putter the same way I gripped the rest of my clubs, recently changed to reverse overlap, I haven't noticed any real difference yet.

Recently went to left hand low myself and have been putting quite a bit better since. Think most of the improvement is due to a change in attitude rather than the change in grip, though.

Overlap Grip with the club in the fingers more for a bit more feel.

last season i went to the double overlap grip. i put my finger on the space between my ring/middle fingers, instead of between the pinky/ring fingers. i helps me feel more connected to the club, and helps the wrists stay inactive

I use to putt left hand low in high school but never was a good putter and abandoned that method... Still not really a good putter though so I doubt it was the grips fault.

Last year my putting was by far the worst part of my game... I was adding easy 10+ shots to a round due to bad putting.
So I changed, like you suggest to the overlap grip (left hand lower - im right handed) and I have improved a great deal, I feel
alot more confident with long or shot puts and feel I have more control over my putting swing!

I use the Stan Utley grip. It is just awesome.

I use a modified version of the claw
