The way you place your hands on your putter is an individual thing. Whether you study a group of amateurs or a field of touring pros, you’re likely to see an almost unlimited array of gripping styles.
According to 2002 PGA Teacher of the Year Randy Smith, the main thing is to find the style that’s most comfortable for you, and that minimizes hand tension. The new SuperStrokeâ?¢ putter grip system can be a great help.
"The SuperStroke system is neat because you can put the grip in any of three positions – flat side forward, top or back," Smith says. "Whatever way you prefer, you’ll maintain a relaxed feel, not create tension during the stroke and, most important, make more putts."
At approximately an inch and half in diameter – twice that of a conventional grip – the SuperStroke "fills the hands," so the tendency to squeeze too tightly is greatly reduced. In addition, the grip’s virtually taper-free design promotes even pressure in both the right and left hands. And by keeping the hands "quiet," the SuperStroke eliminates most wrist action in the putting stroke.
"The first time you put your hands around the SuperStroke, it’s like the grip is sending you a subliminal message to keep the pressure light – just rock your shoulders and sink the putt," Smith says.
The SuperStroke grip is USGA-conforming for regular play and installs in minutes on any putter. It comes with a money-back guarantee. SuperStroke is a product of Stroke Solutions, Inc., a Wisconsin-based company.
