" The large surface area brings more of the grip into contact with the hands,
inhibiting breakdown of the wrists and encouraging use of the preferred arm-and-shoulders putting motion. Scientific tests have shown that the SuperStroke requires up to 32% less grip tension and represents a significant improvement over conventional narrow putter grips. The SuperStroke’s size encourages use of a “soft hands” technique and ensures a smooth and fluid putting stroke. "

Does anyone on the board have one of these puppies? Sounds interesting, and it is the same putter grip that K.J. Choi had on his putter when played in the AT&T.; Whoever has one of these...Does it work?

I watched the informational video and it seems like a pretty interesting technology but I'm not one to mess with putter technology I guess. I don't know if I could past the visual aesthetics of the grip, even if the technology worked.

I am skeptic on this one. It might help but I am not having a goofy looking grip on my pretty putter.

work for this company also in sales. Its basically to instill the pendulum motion in the putting stroke and to get people to stop using their wrists. Its very odd to say the least to start with, but I will tell you that when I used it on an indoor putting surface in our office, my putts did seem to roll a lot better.

OK, so you're a microbiologist, you work for skycaddie in sales and you work for "this company" [

www.superstrokegrip.com] in sales -- anything else we need to know?

For what it's worth, I bought and installed the superstroke on my favorite Never Compromise putter. It worked so well for me that I bought a second and installed on my backup and if they weren't so expensive I would have bought more. I think it works for this wristy putter. Specially 4 ft. in. Kept stats when I first used the unit and went from avg. 34 putts to 30 on same golf course. Caution: it's a big thing and needs a separate compartment or carrying case to carry it around. Also, the piece at the bottom, a plastic insert, has broken on both my units. Customer service said too bad and did not replace the part as requested nor did they evidence any sympathy for my problem. I'd look at the large grip Jimenez is using before I'd buy another superstroke.

All this is just one mans experience. Bottom line: The super large grip has great merit, helps develop a more consistent pendulum stroke but I'm not sure Superstroke has the answer. It's expensive, cumbersome and fragile.

The one jimenez uses, the 2 thumb putter grip, is also half the price of the super stroke. It has 3 variations of it too, and is sold by golfsmith. I think I might try it.

    • For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...  
    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?
    • Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }
    • Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
