Try this comparison: First, carefully study the way a pro’s putt rolls off the putter face. Then look at the same thing from a weekend amateur – or even from an accomplished player who’s not a great putter.
Chances are the difference will be obvious. The pro’s putt will have an inherent sense of forward motion, almost as if it has eyes for the hole. By comparison, the amateur’s putt will appear to be searching for direction.
The difference, says two-time U.S. Open Champion Andy North, is the confidence with which the ball is struck – a confidence that creates acceleration through the stroke and produces the forward spin required for putts to roll true to the line.
"It starts with keeping your grip pressure relaxed and even," North says. "That way your hands work as a unit, your wrists stay quiet and you free the putter head to accelerate directly through the ball instead of cutting across and creating side spin."
According to North, the new SuperStrokeâ?¢ putter grip system can help any golfer make a better putting stroke.
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 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.
