What type of putter grip do you prefer? Why?

SeeMore Golf
I actually really like the stock grip on my Cleveland but need a fatter grip to help with taking my wrists out of it. My father in law uses a SS 5.0 and I couldn't use it. I want to get into something thicker maybe a SS slim or another suggestion.
 
I'm back on the Iomic Mid, in a big way.
 
I'm a big mid size grip guy. Golf pride has a great mid size grip and of the super stroke is on all my current gamers.

The OG GP mid is a solid grip Pandaman.

So who has gone from a jumbo style or a SS back to a smaller, original grip style?

I always liked my SS or Jumbo style, but after putting with a Scotty in the store I think I like the pistol style grip. Seemed like I could feel the head/stroke better.

Thinking of regripping my Tank 7 with a pistol style grip, maybe a GP or Iomic.

Thoughts?

I had put the SS 3.0 on my SC and it felt good. I picked up a couple SeeMore, I put a SS 2.0 on one of them as it felt more comfortable with the new putting grip I am using (Pat O'brien style). I haven't had a chance to put the new grip in use on the course yet but the 2.0 and new grip are starting to feel comfortable in my practicing. I don't think I can go back to a regular size grip after using the 2.0 and 3.0
 
Other than your normal, every day regular size putter grips, I have used the Jumbo Crown (right) and the Wishbone (left):

I started using a Jumbo Crown in 1991 and used that model until 2012 when I got my Morgan Cup putter. The Wishbone was my very first THP testing and I couldn't adjust to it. I only used it for a couple of months.

In 2012 I got my Morgan Cup putter and had the Odyssey Jumbo installed on it:

A few months ago, I replaced that with the Odyssey Jumbo Lite grip. It is actually a little lighter than a regular size grip. It really helped me to be able to feel the head of the putter, and I am putting as good or better than I ever have.

I'll have to add the picture of it tomorrow when I get to the golf course.

Can't see myself going back to a standard grip ever.
 
I prefer a large putter grip myself. For me I feel it keeps my hand more steady.
 
Still my favorite

Still a S.S. 5.0 user
 
I have a variety of SS currently
 
I think I'm officially off the SS wagon. The Flatso is nicest to me, but the I'm starting to wonder why I ever left the Iomic mid, other than getting caught in the popularity wave....and the colors...the lime/white had a lot to do with me changing.

Iomic makes a solid lime green IIRC. One came on my SS11, though it's been gone for some time... I'm still firmly on the SS 2.0 bandwagon. Works well for me.

Oh I know, I had many many many over the years. I just prefered the white/green SS look. But I'm moving back to function/comfort, for me.

Worth a look dude, I think you'd really like it to be honest.

I'll throw another one out there, and NOT because of Tiger:

Pingman Blackout, used to adore this one, but the Iomic Mid to me is just a better version of it. Still though a popular grip, mostly because of Tiger.

JMan: Have you tried this one in the corded model? I have it now on two putters and think it is the best grip on the market. The cord adds a little something to it that makes it "just right" for me.

I read a study of different grip types over lots of putts over lots of putters. The pistol grip was the only one that really showed a consistent statistical advantage across golfers. I don't think it's just Tiger. It is more that it just works.

Too small for me nowadays. I've tried to build them up with little success.
 
Before I realized how easy regripping was I always used the stock grip, then I went to SS Slims for a while, move to mid-slims, and am now getting along better with the ultra slim. I also really like the GP Tour Classic Mids. I feel like I have more control with a standard-mid grip now.

It indeed is silly easy.

Can I say how much I love the Iomic Mid again? Because its true.
 
Just switched for superstrokes to a Garsen Ultimate Grip. It is basically a combination of a superstroke, and a garsen grip rolled into one. The hand position really helps my elbows stay closer to my body. Working well so far.

Since putting and chipping is about all I can do for a while (injury), I had one of these put on one of my putters today. I'm ready to head out in a bit to go roll a few ...
