I posted several times in the Regional Rivalry SEC thread about my putting issues I've been having. I've tried many different things to fix it, but nothing seemed to work. Monday afternoon, I was playing in a skins game at my local course. About 30 minutes before we teed off, I got on the practice green and tried the claw grip. The first thing I noticed was on the shorter putts, I felt like I hit my line and speed almost every time. I kept using it throughout the skins game and ended up rolling in 5 birdies and walked away with about $100 in winnings. For now, I'm definitely going to keep using it.
I do have a question for those that have used that grip before. How did you get used to the longer putts with it? For putts 25 ft and out, I tend to have a problem hitting it hard enough to get it to the hole. My line seems to be fine, but I just can't seem to hit it hard enough.
