A thousand of them out there, do you have a Golfsmith or some such golf retailer nearby?  They'll have a large selection that you can pick up and fondle......I went to a mid-size this past year and am happy with it.  The trend seems to be bigger and bigger, the premise being that larger grips help quiet the hands in the putting stroke.

Mine is a Winn AVS mid-size and I like it.  Nice and soft and just the right size for my relatively small hands.  But as I said, there are a ton of them out there.

In David's bag....

Thanks for the advice and the link. Also, has anyone ever tried the large super stroke grips? Are they any good?    They look really cool.

I just put on one of the large Super Stroke grips and love it. I had another brand large grip and it was good but the Super Stroke has a little tacky feel too it but not so much so that it feels sticky. Just feels comfortable for me.

Interesting ... Erik mentioned a round grip on his Edel as well.  Did you get fitted for the grip, or is that based solely on preference?  I have an old Ping putter with the standard ping grip, and its falling apart, so I now get to consider all other options.  Golfsmith sells the Ping grip so I could very easily replace it with that one, or the ever popular fat grips, and now you and Erik have added round grips to my choices as well. :)

I've tried many grips on a variety of putters over the years and always seem to come back to the Ping grips.  Have one on my Cameron Newport right now.  Its purely personal but they just feel right to me.

same here...the plain old pistol style ping grip is what I prefer.

Scotty Cameron Baby T Mid-Sized. It's feels better than sex...well not really, but it is an awesome grip.

Other than that one I have the Lamkin 3Q mid-sized in White & Black. It's a firmer grip.

Round grips are kind of Edel's thing.... with a normal putter grip, if it moves at all or is put on improperly it can mess with your aim... this isn't the case with a round grip since it's the same all the way around. Also, with the round grips, I was told that it help to keep even pressure.

Makes total sense!  Same reason why people like to install their grips with logos or alignment aids upside down.  This is also the exact same reason why I don't putt with an alignment aid on the ball.  If I misalign it when I place the ball down, I've already screwed myself before I even hit the putt.

Did I just see Tiger with a Ping pistol grip today at Arnie's tourney?  My eyes aren't great but the shape was right and I could have sworn I saw PING written down the face.  Anyone know?

Tiger has always used a black Ping grip as far as I can remember. Now if it was a pistol or not, I don't know. But any of the putting footage in 2008 US Open he had that Ping Grip. The Ping is blacked out and you can just barely tell the outline.

I just put a SuperStroke Slim 3.0 on my putter and love it.  Funny thing is, a lot of reviewers complained that they lost their touch for distance with the larger grip - for me, it's been just the opposite.  Absent doing something stupid like totally misreading the break, I'm consistently leaving my lag putts closer to the hole than I ever have.  It may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I have very large hands and the grip seems to fit them better than standard grips.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

      This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
