Putter Grip

[Nick_Toye]

I'm still trying to find my own grip, but I have to admit all the videos on youtube, the pictures, the terminology and the metaphors are just confusing the hell out of me.

I look at pictures, and my brain just doesn't compute.

Any tips?

don't over complicate gripping a putter! grip it comfortably, otherwise you will grip it too tightly and not putt well.

no real need to interlock/overlap with a putter. I use ten finger/baseball grip as I feel it gives me more control than any thing else.

Pretty much anything goes, if it's comfortable, as Garry said don't throttle the grip.

What grip do you use for your other clubs?

Something that feels natural and if it helps to minimize wrist action during the stroke then even better.

Ten finger baseball grip? So that's stacking left over right? I have switched between doing that and interlocking like I do with my other clubs. Next time I go to the course I'm going to spend some time on the putting green, if it's open that is.

Well I switch between the 10 finger baseball grip and interlocking my little finger on right hand fourth finger on my left hand.

As long as the hands work as a unit it doesn't matter too much how you hold it. Look at the pros using the claw hammer etc? Hardly text book

 

[Nick_Toye]

Yeah I suppose.

I've always putted cack-handed [40yrs] , left hand below right with the index finger pointing down, it stops me breaking my wrists . All other clubs are normal interlock, putting is the most reliable part of my game. I hardly ever have a Sherman.

Some on the forum don't like you mentioning the S-word.

Ah I see. Well isn't it part of the game? Fairly sure Tiger has done his fair share of Shermans.
