KJ Choi finished T4th at The Masters using a SuperStroke oversized putter grip. The grip measures 1.67 inches in diameter or roughly 3 times the size of a standard putting grip. Choi ranked 4th in putting at the 2010 Masters with 114 total putts, a 28.5 Putts Per Round average. He earned $360,000 for the Top 5 finish.
Choi has won three times with the SuperStroke grip on the PGA Tour and recently had two 2nd place finishes (Malaysian Open, Transitions Championship) with the SuperStroke grip. At Innisbrook Resort a few weeks ago, Choi was back to top form on the greens. He ranked 2nd in Putts Per GIR for the tournament and averaged 27.3 putts per round for a 5th place ranking. Choi’s improved putting was key to the player earning his second best career finish at a major championship. He now ranks 13th in the current FedEx Cup point standings.
The jumbo grips are designed to reduce wrist breaks and enhance a pendulum stroke, and they are also proven to reduce grip pressure and keep the putter head square. Extensive testing has shown that the SuperStroke requires up to 32% less grip tension and represents a significant improvement over conventional putter grips. Other benefits include natural balance and set up, less putter head rotation, accurate smooth putting stroke, improved ball roll and greater distance control.
