So as tends to happen to all golfers I'm sure - I was looking for a new hybrid and ended up finding a putter.  I wasn't that impressed with my old putter, but as I bought it when I was very new to golf, it done the job,

I bought a Taylormade Corza Tour, blah blah blah putter (the same one that Justin Rose uses I believe).  Anyway, on my old putter I had a 2 thumb grip fitted; simply because coming from cricket I liked the thicker grip and it helped when I started using the claw grip.

Anyway, I have purchased a 2 thumb grip for this putter; however having putted with the new putter briefly, it felt pretty good.  Now I'm unsure of whether to go with the original plan, or whether this might ruin the feel of the putter.

Ideas?

I put an oversized grip on my ancient Cobra mallet and I couldn't believe the difference it made as I am rolling the ball true and on a straighter line. My touch is impeccable on the greens now from 30' and in. Give it a try you might like it. I paid 11 bucks at Dicks for the grip and labor.

This. Use it as is for now; changing the grip, especially to a much larger one will change the feel for sure.

I agree with @Mr. Desmond and @tristanhilton85 . Especially since you disliked the old one enough that you wanted a change. Use the stock one for a while, and if you don't like the feel replace it.

    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
