HARRISON, NY — A highly ranked PGA Tour golfer playing the SuperStrokeâ?¢ Putter Grip rolled in birdie putts of 46 and 48 feet on the back nine during Sunday’s final round of the Barclays Classic at Westchester Country Club. The extraordinary putts highlighted a round of 70 that capped off a 14-under-par 270 total, good for second place in the first of four FedEx Cup playoff tournaments.
The player, who led after the first two rounds, also compensated for an errant driver in Saturday’s third round with a strong short game, including birdie putts on the 17th and 18th holes.
As a result of his strong performance at the Barclays, the SuperStroke user now ranks second in FedEx Cup points, third on the Tour money list, eighth in the World Golf Rankings, and sixth in scoring average.
"In the past, every time I finished my round there was something about my game, usually my putting, that I always felt there was something missing," the player said. But with the SuperStroke that feeling has gone away.
"It just works well and exactly as I thought," he said. "It keeps me from using my wrists too much and makes me use my shoulders to putt. It’s really worked well so far."
After first using the SuperStroke during his win at July’s AT&T National tournament, the player has continued on a hot streak with high finishes in the British Open (eighth), PGA Championship (12th) and World Golf Championship (11th) – leading up to his second place at the Barclays.
At more than an inch and half in diameter – twice that of a conventional putter grip – the SuperStroke "fills the hands," so the tendency to squeeze too tightly is greatly reduced. In addition, the grip’s patented, 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- and R&A-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.
