I recently had my putter regriped with a Super Stroke Slim 3.0. I looked at the Jumbo grips, but being that my hands measure 8 1/2" across, the Jumbo size seemed a bit to big. With the 3.0 I have more control over my putter.

I would suggest going to a pro shop and trying different grips to see what you like.

I'll play since the OP didn't get much of a response. I tried a bunch in 2012 and early 2013 before going back to the stock Odyssey grips. I hated the SS Fatso, more about the hassle of extracting it from the bag than anything. I went down to the 1.3 or whatever it is and liked it better but still really wasn't my thing. Love the SS Ultra Slim and tried the tapered Winn Jumbo. In the end there just wasn't any magic in it and I tired of people asking me about it. Wasn't quite as common as it is now then. For sure I liked the bigger grips better on blades and small mallets but felt strange on bigger mallets. I use the Odyssey Sabertooth with the big shaft now so the stock grip is a little bigger. I've come full circle with putters after fittings and different lessons. Had to go back what gave the best results on the green. Which for me is a big, honkin' ugly putter.

I tried the Fatso super stroke last season. It was great with my pumbers neck putter. As I like to play with with shut/open face and it minimize the forward lean /backward lean

    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
