Oversized Putter Grips W/Out Flat Sides

[colin007]

are there any options out there for a fat putter grip (like the SuperStroke) thats completely round - no flat sides?

I was going to start a thread about this, but seeing as you haven't gotten any responses in 3 1/2 years, there's probably no use.

Today I bought an oversized grip for my putter (WinnProX 1.18 with a flat side). It's not as big as the SuperStroke 5.0, but I'm hoping it will still help the part of my game that seems to be costing far too many strokes which are short putts.

@colin007, did you end up finding the grip you were looking for? Does anyone else use an oversized grip? If so, why did you switch and does it seem to help?

These aren't perfectly round, but they don't have the "flat spot" that most jumbo grips do:

Hey bro, I got an Edel putter, which comes standard with a round, non-tapered grip. I like it because a flat side will tend to put your hands in a certain position, and this could be an issue if it's not absolutely perfectly aligned.

I didn't see these when I was looking online. I'll have to see how it goes with the one I have. I can always change grips.

Never thought about the flat side being detrimental. I probably should have bought the superstroke 5.0 which I believe is perfectly round.

The main issue I have is poor mechanics, like I'm moving my wrists or something. I think the right putter might help, but I'll have to improve on those short putts before dropping $200+ dollars on a nice one.

I broke my last putter out of frustration a couple months ago (just flipped it underhand towards my golf bag and it hit the cart path). To be honest, it was a blessing. Went out and bought a $20 True-Line that I just hit better than the higher-end TM, Odyssey and Nike. Even though the new putter is a step up from what I had been using, the higher-end putters feel more solid.

Funny story... I'm at the local golf shop yesterday trying out the different putters and grips. On a couple occasions, I'd pick up a putter and the salesman would tell me which PGA pro uses that style of putter. Couldn't help but think to myself, do people really buy products based on what their favorite pro uses?

Ok. I guess I didn't notice.

After a couple of rounds using the oversized Winn grip, I have a bit more confidence on the short and mid distance putts. My lag putting hasn't changed but honestly, that seems to have much less to do with mechanics and more to do with read and speed.
