I have Ping's new half head long putter on order (to be released on 11/1/07, just seven days).

I bought a new Ping A-1 putter in the early 1970's and have used it now for 35+ years (still love the sound), its just time for a change.

I watch every pro that uses a long putter and see several different right hand grips - some with just the tip of the right hand thumb and index finger, some more like a pencil is gripped, some against a sideways palm and then some against the heel of the palm with the fingertips down.

The only one I have heard explained is the use of the heel of the palm to remove the hand/wrist motion and use only the arm/shoulder motion (smoother and more consistent).

Anyone using a long putter figured this one out? I would like to start out using what I will stay with long term as it is so hard to "unlearn" something.
