I have been toying with putting a Super Stroke 3.0 Or 5.0 on my new putter... here's my questions, are they worth it, are they going to take my wrists out of my putting stroke, Am I going to pull what's left of my hair out after dropping $30 on a putter grip... Any thoughts would be appreciated...

I use the 3.0 and NO it is not worth it. I liked the 1.0 better. The feel of the grip is terrific in my opinion. The price is not worth it to me at least. I find distance is the biggest issue for me.

I like Superstroke grips. I used a 2.0 for most of last year. Found I have less forearm tension compared to a Winn grip, for me it led to better speed control.

Another fan of the 1.0  helps me to NOT break my wrist's on longish putts, so the cost was worth it for me.

I got the biggest Winn grip and I'm getting amazing results.  (I tend to have too much motion at contact and a big ol' mallet putter).  the big grip is just one of the changes, I've also changed my grip over and over again to ones that minimize wrist twist.  I'd like to go to a half mallet too, but I'm doing really well now with what I'm doing and a good putter is too much.

Grips and grip and putters are very mental and very individual specific.  Asking "what's the deal with" any part of putting is no substitute for just getting fit at least, or fit and coached, or even just experimenting on your own.  IMHO

Well, I understand... I should figure it out myself... but I was just wondering why they are so good...

I like them, but it really depends on the putter, I think. I've liked them on putters at the golf store, but I don't think they'd work well on my putter, which has built in forward press (Odyssey Backstryke 2 Ball).

I can't speak to the mechanics. I can tell you that I installed the Superstroke 2.0 about 4 months ago and really liked the grip. My distance control on longer putts was about the same as it ever was (mediocre), but my make percentage on putts inside of 10 feet was noticeably better.

My bag was stolen a week ago and regardless of what putter I decide to purchase, I will probably pony up the extra $30 and have it re-gripped with a Super Stroke.

I put the 3.0 on my putter late last fall.  I played 4 rounds with it in Florida in January.  I liked it a lot.  I think it also helps you have a consistent grip pressure.  I have always used mid-size pistol grips. I noticed that sometimes my grip would change slightly and I would have to reeducate my hands.  With the larger grip, I find it easier to be repeatable.  I also had no issue with distance control.

I will be writing a review, but I want to get a few more rounds in.

I have super stroke on my one putter and normal grip on the other...but will be replacing it shortly. I find the super stroke takes my hands out of the putt and seems to lead to a more stable smooth stroke...Maybe it is in my head, hell half of putting is, but there is no doubt it has helped me.

I use a normal mid-size and haven't made the switch yet.  A buddy of mine, probably the best putter I know, switched to a 2.0 last year and loves it.  I honestly can't tell any difference in his putting (thank God, I already lose enough money to him!), but he says he likes the feel better.

I switched to the Winn Jumbo last year, I like the feel but to be honest I don't think the results show any significant difference.

Super Stroke 3 here. As mentioned, I found that for looooooong putts, there wasn't THAT much difference. There is too much "feel" involved. I noticed the difference right away in those putts inside 10 feet. At first it was annoying because putts that I might have missed by 4-6 inches were now rimming the edge or lipping out. Even more of a difference for those 3-4 footers. Larger grip made a more relaxed feeling in the forearms and less of a death grip on the grip itself. Led to a smoother stroke and more putts made- Which means less three putts.

I tried a bunch of putters out at the store the other day with these and I really like them. I think they definitely helped with my distance control. I liked it so much, I almost walked out with a new putter. I might consider putting one of these on my current putter, but I'm hoping to get fit for an Edel this year.

Take this experience for what it's worth:  My hand is a perfect medium for a golf glove.  Last season, I put a 3:0 superstroke grip on my putter.  I can't count the number of 3-5' putts I pushed to the right and MISSED last season.  Don't get me wrong, I really LIKE the grip, size and feel but it's definitely harder to rotate the putter head through the hitting area with the larger grips.

I'm taking my putter this week to have the 3.0 replaced with a 2.0.  Guess my hands aren't large enough for the 3.0.  And just so you know about those 3-5' putts--I expect to make 80+% of them on a bad day so it can't be my putting! ;-)

I think it depends on your stroke.  The fatter versions I think are good for those who swing straight back/straight through.  If you are an arc putter, then I think you need a midsize or standard.  Anyway, their website walks you through their fitting.  But it recommended Flatso Mid for me, but when I went to the store, I bought the full size Flatso instead (felt better in my hands).

Disagree.  I do not have a straight back/through stroke at all.  In fact, I think this grip helps the arc stroke because it removes any twisting the hands may cause with too small a grip.  A real SBST stroke requires manipulating the head during the backstroke and downstroke to have the face pointed at the target line at all times.  That is very hard to do.

that's what I'm hoping for.  It seems to be working very well with my fatty grip.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
