I'm currently using a ghost spider s putter, and am thinking of adding a super stroke grip to it. It's a 34" and at the same time I am considering taking an inch or two off it as well. I'm 5'6" and seem to always grip it way at the bottom of the grip. I will be changing weights in it too. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had done done this and what the outcome was. Thanks.

For some people, the extra length past where you grip acts like a counter weight. If you trim the length of the putter, you will reduce swing weight and the putter may feel too light.

Ah that's a valid point. Maybe I will just change the grip and stay at stock length. Those fat grips really feel more comfortable, and allow for a better form when putting. At least that's what it seemed on the few I tried in the store.

I am 5'6 and had the same putter. I got tired of gripping down on it. I cut it down 2 inches and had a fat boy grip put on it. I liked it and it was WAY more comfy to grip. I really didn't notice any weight difference.

Okay thanks. That's good to know. Did you use the oem 2 gram weights with it, or did you change them out?

I never messed with the weights

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls.

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
