Massive putter grips

I used a Lamkin ultra light jumbo, but it struggled in the putter well and still the putter felt poorly balanced. It was deadly 10 ft in but after that it was a little difficult on distance control. So I removed it, put on a jumbo ionic grip with 2-3 wraps of tape and split my hands - net result short putting is good distance putting is miles better.
Most people pick up my putter and say they love the feel of it purely because the grip size is so comfortable.
 
having put a Jumbo on a spare putter I'm inclined towards a mid size to replace the standard, thin/hard, grip that's been on it for some time.

I think many people would benefit from considering whether their existing putter grip is suited to them - I've changed my putting grip but hadn't considered the bit I was gripping! Will pop into the pro tommorrow and deal with it.

being impatient, and wanting the max practice opportunity with it, I got it sorted this afternoon - ended up with a Benross mid size as the one that gave me the fit and feel I was looking for. some might consider this slightly strange on a Monza Rossa Spider but I have no interest in what it looks like at all :)
 
I had a SuperStroke Slim 3.0 fitted this morning.
It gives me so much confidence ............... on the putting green. I haven't taken it to the course yet, but my stroke is so much smoother. It particularly helps on the short puts as I used to be a bit wristy & pulled everything left, now I don't!
I had this one fitted ;

Slime.

As above I have this grip and its fantastic, my plying partners all laugh till I sink a long putt on the first, then they're all in the pro shop at the end trying it out
 
I had a go with a putter fitted with the SuperStroke last night and it seemed to calm my stroke immediately. I am working on my putting tomorrow and if I can't find an answer I may stick one on an old Odyssey and see if it makes a difference
