Super Stroke 5.0 XL putter grip

[jkelley9]

I saw this grip and said: "this will completely solve my flipping problem!" thinking that a less severe arc along the edge of the grip (being fatter) would attribute to more palm action and less turning action.

Personally (now), I feel like this could not be any more false. I hate this grip. It disgusts me. Ever since the club fitter handed it back to me and I walked up to the practice green I said to myself "oh crap..." 

Sure enough, I feel like I have zero control over my putts.  My hands are so much MORE easier to turn and flip in the stroke than with the 3.0 grip. 

This grip may work for some, but don't be like me in assuming that you'll get a more flat palm action on the stroke from the width alone. 

I'm getting it redone tonight. I tried it for a week and hate it. $30 down the drain.

 

FYI, FWIW before this grip change I was averaging ~1.8 putts/hole on large, slow greens in this area.
