I purchased one of these this weekend:

I no longer play grip games while lining up a putt. I'm getting a little arthritis and this year I've noticed myself fondling my putter excessively when getting set up. Not sure if it's minor hand pain or lack of confidence over the ball but adding one of these has helped me. I know they're laughable and look atrocious but it's helped me.

I'm curious about others who've tried one of these and if you liked them enough to continue using or went back to a more normal size grip.

I put a Super-Stroke grip on my putter a month ago....and since have never rolled the ball better in my life! Could be mental, could be I just needed a new feel, but either way I love and don't see myself changing back anytime soon.

TaylorMade R11 3wood (15 degree stiff stock shaft)

Ditto with me, its been about 6 weeks and I've never in my life been looking to make every putt inside 15 feet like I do now.  I have a Nike Tour bag, its not as big as most tour bags and the putter fits in it fine.

I putt a Winn jumbo putter grip on my putter sometime last summer and I've loved it. I can't imagine not using one now. It really keeps the hands still and has helped me with some of the yips.

I've been using a Super Stroke Slim for about six weeks. Love it!! What I like best is it has no taper. I putt "left hand low" and having a straight grip really feels great.

I has a Instructor recommend an oversize putter grip. I was reluctant, but he said to try it for a few months, and that If I didn't like it, he would buy me a regular grip to put back on. So I gave it a try, that was 6 years ago. I have used an oversize grip ever since then. Not as big as the one you posted, mine was a Tiger Shark grip. I now use an Odyssey Jumbo size grip on my putter.

Seems to be a more natural grip for me, and it's one less thing for me to worry about when putting. My hands just seem to naturally go into the right place.

A week into this grip, 45 holes and about 3 hours of practice putting. My lag putts are for sure more steady and consistent distance wise. Inside 10foot just feels much better.

I've had this putter about 7 years now, this grip will keep me on it for another 7 at least.

I have been using the Super Stroke Fatso for about a year. Love it, will never go back to a slimmer grip. Lots of folks start to make fun of it until I let them try it. They ALL are amazed at how "natural" their stroke feels.

As far as carrying it, I made a small add-on for my ClicGear, 9like the water bottle holder) works great.

Don't have the one mentioned, but I did try a huge Win grip on my putter and it had the opposite effect on me. I went back to a standard type grip. I felt disconnected with the putter.

I've used an oversize grip since 1996.  Back then....the "Tiger Shark" was the only one I could find and it wasn't as big as many of the oversize grips of today.   Whenever I buy a new putter, the first thing I do is have the grip that comes with the putter cut-off....and replaced before leave the store with it for the first time.

My current putter grip is a Winn Giant Pistol....

Big grips aren't for everyone....if they were,  every putter would come straight from the manufacturer with one already installed!!  LOL

.....but I love the oversize grips.......

I just put a Super Stroke Slim on my Ping Anser 5 and it feels great, I haven't played with it yet but I changed the way I grip the club and have more fingers on the grip and this really helps lock my wrists.

i have a winn jumbo lite grip and love it. At first, I had a hard time judging distance, but immediately, aim was spot on. Now distance is not an issue and ive never putted any better.

      Day 49 - 2024-11-18 Light day of HackMotion work in the basement with my putting. Suffice to say my feels very closely align with what is measured.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 200 (18 Nov 24) - Broke out the MacGregor blades to do some “vintage” club pitches and chips.  Focus was on alignment and where I am looking in relation to the ball…have been working on finding a focal point about 3-6 inches ahead of the ball (toward the target) and not staring at the ball.  Getting very predictable strikes.  Overall it was a fun drill session and will serve as a warmup to tomorrow’s planned front 9 walk with these irons and persimmon woods and of course a “new” putter - a Acushnet Bullseye…

      I believe that losing a tour card is too extreme but definitely agree that more needs to be done to prevent slow play.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.
