Putters are such a personal item that rely on feel and confidence, the only way to know if you would like an oversized putter grip is to install one and give it a try for a while and see if you putt better.  I have a Jumbo putter grip, which helps me out, but I know a lot of people who can't putt with one.  It's all in what feels right and gives you the results you want.

Just don't expect to become a super putting machine simply from changing the grip.   In my case, it helps take the tension out of my hands and forearms but it doesn't make putts for you.

I have the Super Stroke Fatso on my Ping Anser putter and LOVE it. http://www.superstrokeusa.com/products/putter-grips/fatso.html I'm 6'5" tall and have large hands, so the grip feels great to me. As soon as I had it installed, I started draining everything inside 10 feet. After 3 rounds, my usual weekly playing partner actually said to me, "Did you build a putting green in your backyard to practice or something? You have been making EVERYTHING lately!" I reminded him I just had my grip changed. It really seemed to work for me. I know it's a personal choice, but I love the oversized jumbo putter grips.

Fat putter grips do help to quiet your wrists and keep them out of your putting stroke.  Personally, Im not a fan.  Ive tried a few putters with Superstroke grips and to me they kill the feel.  To put a big ole fat grip on my 8802 style blade putter just seems so wrong.

If you have problems with flipping your wrists during your putting stroke, it might not be a bad idea though.

Mine fits in the bag just fine.

It can effect the feel of the putter if you're not careful.  Many of the oversized grips are heavy, so those reek havoc with my distance control, since the feel of the weight of the putter head is gone.  The key is to make sure that you get one that is light so that only the grip size changes, and the weight stays pretty close.  It still feels different, but with the lighter grip, you don't lose the feel of the weight in the putter head.  My Winn jumbo grip is 60g, the same as most standard grips, but I did try a Lamkin that weighed 110g (didn't know better at the time) and I could not hit a 5-10ft putt with the right speed to save my life.

I use a mid size and really like the feel. Putters are so individual though, the only way to know is to try it. At worst, you're out $15. At best, you TAKE more $'s from your buddies! ;-)

I used to have the Super Stroke Slim and liked it a lot, but it seemed to get torn up hanging up on the bag because there's no taper at the end.  If it wasn't for that, I'd still have it.

I made mine and my putting confidence went through the roof!!!  $8 invested and 30 minutes.

duct tape base wraps (not all wrinkly though) then 6 rolls of Tennis over-wrap.  I LOVE THIS.

I put Adams and PING in my OGIO Recoil bag. I'm shooting for the low 90's by summer 13'

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
