If you aren’t holing enough putts with your standard-sized putter grip, or even struggling with the dreaded yips, trying out an oversized putter grip is certainly a worthwhile exercise. My feeling on this is that this is simply a mental hurdle to overcome rather than anything physiological. Some of this could be attributed to the aforementioned weight issues, but others feel that taking the fingers and wrists out of the stroke affects their ability to use their natural touch and feel the pace as effectively. Companies like Evnroll are now even creating specific grips for the arm lock style made popular by players such as Bryson DeChambeau and Matt Kuchar.Īnother point to note is that some players take a little time to adjust to the pace of longer putts after making this type of grip change. The prayer grip is when your palms are exactly facing one another, with your thumbs level on the front of the grip which facilitates level shoulders at address. Two Thumb produces grips that are designed with the prayer grip in mind. For example, Superstroke offers a grip designed specifically for the claw method, with the geometry and taper of the grip built to fit your hands more comfortably in that style.

The reason that it is important to make a decision on this first, is that grip manufacturers now offer specific grips for different methods. Are you going to use a standard, right below left, reverse overlap grip? Or are you going to be using something different? There are so many ways to grip a putter claw grip, left below right, prayer grip, the list goes on. Firstly, you need to decide how you would like to position your hands on this new grip because this could have a significant impact on the best design and size of the grip you choose.
