Putter Re-grip

[Fourputt]

Well, today I regripped my putter.  Last year, after a little testing, I went with the Super Stroke 3.0.  It felt great, seemed to be really easy to make a good stroke, but in the end, I didn't putt as well with it, day in and day out.  Particularly the shorter putts, from about 4 feet in.  I have always been pretty good with those.  I'd maybe have an occasional off day - that happens to everyone, but as a rule they don't really scare me.  Last year that changed, and the only thing I can link it to is the grip.  

Almost all of my misses were left, and by as much as 2-3 inches from 4 feet.  I had to actually aim deliberately what I knew was right of the proper line to start the ball on that line, and that was making me question my setup on every putt.  Totally unacceptable.

So now I'm back to a standard putter grip, just  cheapo black Golf Pride.  I'm going to play tomorrow and test it out and find out if my theory is right.

Good luck. Hopeful you figure this out 

I have also gone back to a slimmer grip let us know how it works out

Super Stroke mid-slim 2.0 is the business.  I use a Vardon grip for putting (and all other shots).

Update with your testing.  I was thinking about picking up the 3.0 as well for my putter.

18 holes in and the results are positive.  If nothing changes, and I don't really expect it to, this is the best decision I've made in some time.  While I did have two 3 putts today, that was partly because the greens had been sanded, only with gravel instead of sand.  They were full of BB sized pebbles mixed in with the sand, which made holding any kind of a line a bit of a crap shoot.  I even closed out the round by holing a 12 footer with about a foot of break for a birdie.  

One thing that I was grateful for was that I was back in my old rhythm and feel for the club.  There was no apparent transition period - it was as if I'd never even used the SS grip.  I'm totally satisfied with the change.
