I've never used a putter with one of these grips and after doing a little research today I'm super confused. I understand the idea of how they work/help but have watched a few conflicting videos on YouTube. Some say that if you have a shoulder controlled putter stroke you should consider a SS grip, and if you have a swing where you hinge your wrist on the backswing then stick with a traditional grip.
HUH:confused2:
I was taught that there shouldn't be any wrist hinge in the putting stroke and that the shoulders should control it, as in the shoulders should just rock. I've found since returning to the game that my putting is a little erratic, it could just be that I need to develop the feel I used to have but I really do think part of the issue is my wrists are hinging a little. Any advice?
Don't take much stock in what kind of putting stroke should be using a SS grip. You should just be concerned with comfort. Make your regular stroke with a SS and see how it feels. If you can find your consistent stroke with it and it feels comfortable to you, use it. If not, try a different size. If none of them feel comfortable or you have trouble with your stroke with them, don't use them.
I went to my 3.0 because I liked how the grip would rest in my palms and I could lock my wrists steady. I just plain liked how it felt.
