Top 5 PUTTING GRIPS | Me and My Golf

[@NonnyStrikes]

I've gotten so in depth about my putting over the past two years, and it never really came together until I understood the GOLF SWING. I've noticed most putters have a weird curve in them for hands/position of them, or w/e. But the thing that I really loved... was the short length. It enabled me to manipulate my wrists in many ways. The best way for me, was to extend my wrists, instead of letting my arms hang. It kept my putter away from my body, and allowed me to read lines like NEVER before. After my full year of doing this, I'll let you know how it goes. I've already made 5 or so more birdie putts than average vs the old grip/position I used prior. Cheers from MN (US)

[@DorsetLuke1709]

Guys, Thankyou so much! I used the reverse overlap today for the first time on the practice putting green and felt so comfortable I took it straight out onto the course and shot my lowest round of the year so far! Thanks again 👍👌

[@gregor7592]

Recently switched to the Prayer grip and I LOVE it! I had such issues with pulling putts. It does require a fat putter grip and it’s weird at first. However if you grip further down you can use your wrists as an anchor.

[@arniomani2245]

I have been putting lead armlock since I started playing golf in the 80’s. I changed my putting grips to super stroke and my putting is better and deadly.

[@diogeneslantern18]

The grip that works for me _exceptionally_ well is where: 1) the left hand is above the right 2) the index fingers of bove hands run down the side 3) the thumbs rest down the front 4) each forearm twists outward to create tension throughout the arm and wrist and lock them into position. I have found the last bit extremely beneficial as it 1) transforms the putter and arms into one unit through the stroke, 2) the putter head does not move at all - there is no inadvertent putter head wobble since the forearms counter-tensions overcone this, and 3) the putter head path is much straighter and truer without conscious effort, 4) interestingly I got a far better feel for distance - my putts were rarely short and finished beside or just behind the hole

[@TaylorRodCarter]

The claw grip is unreal tried it at the range yesterday saw some amazing results and switching to it good bye left hand low putter grip

[@jabutch11]

The claw grip is unreal. I have a lot better sense of green speed and distance control with it. Using a Scotty Cameron Newport putter too so control of the head works great with this grip.

[@dalerichardson8247]

Been using the ‘fleetwood’ grip, where the knuckles of the higher hand sit on the lower hand arm and the lower hand is doing a pencil grip but the finger goes down the side of the shaft, very effective I feel

[@josephdubiel7129]

I enjoyed this putter grip tutorial. I am one that believes in lots of putting practice. Never ceases to amaze me how many do not practice and think they should be improving lol. Here is to the ART OF PUTTING !!! You two are great. Thank you. Joe

[@toxinity_on_fortnite6163]

Thanks

[@darrith9434]

Especially with a very thick grip, I discovered the joy of the Prayer grip with the middle, ring and pinkie finger interlocked below. The fore fingers and thumbs face down. The grip is firmly in the whole surface of my palms. Great control, nice tempo.

[@HK-vv9kv]

I use the claw, basically the pencil but two fingers instead of one. It has improved my putting for sure!

[@FamlyRTA]

I use the regular overlap, but with one change: my left hand floats on the club as a stabilizer. This mean my entire grip and control of the club is done by my right hand. It transformed my putting almost instantaneously. I can now feel the ball on the end of my club, and if I know how the green is responding, can anticipate the amount of force needed to get close or better yet, sink the shot.

[@csearle617]

I have been waiting for this for months... Thank you boys!!

[@meandmygolf.]

No worries Corey. Hope it helps.

[@fortlife9]

I have been using a claw / pencil grip with a toe heavy putter (ping sigma Tyne 4) I switched at the beginning of this year and have seen a big change in my lag putting! Love your channel 👍

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Zachary. Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@lgeiger]

Learned putting with reverse overlap and a straight index finger and it just works best for me. I use an Odyssey Versa #1 putter which has a slight toe hang.

[@SmoeJith]

I actually didn’t know what I was using till now and I would actually classify it as a reverse dechambeau😬 where the putter is sort of pinned against my right arm so it has more of a push feel instead of a pull

[@jimwhite2341]

I'm just changed to lead low grip. This new has given me more consistency in striking the ball center of my putter leading better roll and less misses to the left. still working on distance control.

[@devlz789]

Thank You so much. I have been searching for videos like this on youtube and i cant seem to find any that have more than 3 grips!

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad this was useful.

[@gregburton7968]

I am currently using the pencil but based on the video I make start working witht he reverse overlap. Thanks for the tips.

[@DanielMaude]

Great idea for a video guys

[@meandmygolf.]

Cheers Danny.

[@IIISWILIII]

Switched to prayer for the accuracy but if struggle with lag putting ever since. Very difficult to gauge feel and distance. I'm leaving everything short even when it feels like I knock it hard.

[@mavallarino]

Oh nice, the Olsen putting twins!

[@cccmc]

I putt with a hybrid of the prayer and the Dechambeau, stumbled across it on the practise greens one morning and felt 100% confident for once on the greens. More like a Matt Kuchar putting style

[@meandmygolf.]

That's great Curtis. Always nice to find something that feels comfortable.

[@dilpickleaf3321]

I use a mixture of claw and pencil grip. Basically hold the bottom of the grip woth my lower hand just like a do a pencil and have used if for a year. My putting is the best its ever been.

[@SnowWolf90]

Maybe this isn't the best idea but I'm struggling with putting and I have a tournament coming up Saturday so I'm going to see if one of these grips is better today

[@307.William]

To slightly hinge at the wrist and release the putter or not. #1

[@rickkrieger4455]

I've tried different grips over the years and found that with some practice I can use most of them with some accuracy but I seem to get better lags with the reverse grip. If I'm a long way away I line up my putter and them look at the hole. That seems to get me close. Thanks for the video.

[@mariaportugall1933]

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "golf chipping instruction" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.

[@balintorban7948]

I used to do the prayer grip with a thick superstroke grip with a face balanced putter but found I wouldn’t have the greatest feel on long putts so I went back to a bladier putter with the classic reverse overlap grip and it works great

[@pauljasmine353]

Struggling with putting right now so I'm going to try some of these grips. Thanks

[@daylehallard4669]

I use left below right (2) I just feel like I can control the face so much better and not get too much rotation. I use a Scotty Cameron Futura X5 balanced face. Great video guys 👍

[@meandmygolf.]

Thanks Dayle. Glad this is working for you.

[@bryans.7220]

I do that right index finger down the side of the grip, similar to BK.

[@allcampallthetimeconrad1971]

Super helpful!! I played a round yesterday using the prayer grip

[@davidR9410]

I use the polo technique: hit the ball with the putter in one hand while walking towards the hole. 40% of the time, it works every time.

[@darrenoliver9959]

I've just had the Super Stroke Fatso 5.0 fitted to my Ping so will be trying The Prayer Grip

[@MrTanorton87]

loved seeing WhispersRed in the zoom-in at 0:20

[@donsinai2554]

Great video. I changed to the prayer about 2 years ago and it has transformed my putting. For me, this style of putting is very grip pressure dependant for me.

[@steven_farmer89]

I go left hand low. It has help me slow down, but I will have to try the reverse grip.

[@alexanderturner8216]

I switched to Lead Hand Low about 2 years ago and I was able to get more distance control and the ability to start it on the line i was looking at.

[@simonthorpe6971]

Been using the prayer grip for a few months now and it has helped my putting no end

[@meandmygolf.]

Great Simon.

[@JimboSRP]

I was going to ask you about arm lock putter grips, and then I saw your last grip so thanks for that! I've been using a Bettinardi arm lock putter for a year or so now, and my putting has been great. The arm lock grip creates forward shaft lean so my arm lock putter has 7 degrees of loft to offset that at setup. I actually use a "traditional" grip (right hand below left, reverse interlock I think) but with the left hand in a really strong position which locks the putter shaft onto my left forearm. Feels weird to start, but the results have been very good for me.

[@crtempleton]

Hey guys, any suggestions for a yippy left hand at impact (right hand golfer)

[@alexcostantini4460]

What’s the reason for not using the typical grip that we use on the other clubs? I now use a baseball grip, sometimes with a bit of separation between the hands for distance control. Of course, my putting has much room for improvement.

[@tonyvasquez1393]

Woods, Nicklaus, Trevino, and Watson, the four best putters of all time, all used the reverse overlap. I do too, and I'm one of the best putters you will ever see.

[@PrinceDman]

I'm a new golfer. How do I determine which is the best grip for me, do I just try all of these grips many times? Or is there a method, biomechanically speaking, that will help me choose which grip to use?

[@CMacUF]

Great video

[@slicerjohn1897]

I use a mixture of 1 and 4 left hand grip and right hand down the side, well it works most of the time.

[@tomwilson4353]

I use the prayer grip with a little modification to it.

[@meandmygolf.]

Great Tom. Hope it's working for you.

[@racht449]

I use more of the Fleetwood style claw grip.

[@1cip255]

Learned standard over-grip but trying others right now.

[@benjay0602]

I started using the pencil grip 3 months ago and love it. Thanks for the great videos guys

[@meandmygolf.]

Glad it's working for you.

[@matthewtoohey9656]

What do you mean by face balance putter etc? Are there certain grips that work better for different putters and does grip thickness change any of these options? I have a pistol grip at the moment but considering changing to the thicker grips.

[@brianrizza2045]

I use the reverse over lap it works best for me. Great video again

[@meandmygolf.]

Great Brian. If it's good enough for Tiger.

[@xdaveleex]

Reverse overlap but with two fingers. Find it effective since it brings in some benefits of the prayer having hands closer to the same height.

[@omuggsy]

Do you guys have a video about grips on the rest of our clubs? Sometimes in my backswing I feel my right thumb come off the club which can't be good.

[@sfink16]

I have my own technique but have always felt I'm a much better putter the closer my approach shots are to the hole, hence why the pros are so much better putters.

[@jonathanbrown9245]

Two Thumb Prayer Grip on the living room carpet atm

[@aulusa]

What grip do you have on the Spider X?

[@mathewbanning3483]

How do you keep a straight back stroke when putting?? Help

[@WillieMaze]

Left hand below, best grip for me!

[@redfox0099]

Is there anything such as an “Illegal” way to hold the putter? Putting with only one hand? One hand holding the other? Thanks

[@cmt6]

this is cool 👌

[@angeldominguez4050]

I’ve used the reverse overlap since I started playing golf 17 years ago and I don’t think I will change it. I still play with my Odyssey White Hot 2-balls.

[@meandmygolf.]

If it woks then great.

[@buckybarnes3803]

Question: what have you guys seen with your students in regards to that newer fat grip for the putter?

[@juhahartikainen4530]

I use "left hand lower grip". I started using that last year and i think it suited me better than conventional style.

[@noahsmithtcg]

I'm gonna try Prayer because I have hard time keeping everything symmetrical because I stopped play for a while

[@christoffersen]

Great video, guys!

[@josephbeckert7229]

What about the claw? Is that a version of the pencil?

[@ThePgbabini]

Lead hand low 🤚🏻, but tomorrow I’m going to try the prayer grip...

[@colemcgowan6481]

Claw/pencil outside of 10 feet, reverse overlap inside 10

[@iryan3938]

I think I made my own putting grip 🤣 gunna try these out tho coz Christ I miss some putts ..

[@jimwhite2341]

I'd like you guys to do a solid review on Jumbo Max-style grips.

[@leighd5017]

I was noticing that each grip had a putter grip (rubber part) that worked better with it. Obviously the prayer grip wouldn't be at all good with a narrow curving rubber grip like Odyssey use. Also the pencil grip would be uncomfortable unless you had big hands using a Superstroke fatty grip. Probably more than the grip used would be the size of rubber grip to hand size as this is where it all comes down to for putter control. Comments?

[@MPerski]

“The most common grip on Tour is the conventional, REVERSE OVERLAP golf grip.” How come I didn’t know this? 🤷🏼‍♂️ I only noticed this watching the Masters this weekend (Scheffler, Smith, McIlroy, Lowry, many others) I’ve been putting WRONG all along 🙄

[@mitchm2106]

What are some drills I can do to improve my green reading and overall putting? I play scratch/bogey golf til I get to the green, then its a guranteed 3-putt.

[@TheBpoole23]

Scratch and bogey golf are very different things.

[@jonweaver7191]

Check out some Aimpoint videos. It is based on what you feel rather than see. You might also try to draw a line on your ball to make sure you are starting it on line.

[@mitchm2106]

@@jonweaver7191 Thank you! I'll check them out.

[@garethday9375]

I asked on one of your other videos if you could do a video like this. Really helpful thanks👍 Maybe with a bit of experimentation I can hole a few more putts!

[@meandmygolf.]

Hope this helps Gareth. Yes a little trial and error needed.

[@jonathanruff7931]

Number 2 just so I can control the pace better

[@TheBudsol]

way to go mate

[@timregnier1536]

Just started using the reverse overlap grip on an armlock putter. Between that and looking at the hole, I really improved my ability to hit my lines.

[@ScratchGolfTips]

This is a topic that needs more content on it! Great stuff guys!

[@MrSitemaster2]

I use the same overlapping grip as I use for all my clubs except my right index finger goes vertically down the back of the putter shaft, I have no idea what this grip is called.

[@robertbogdan7058]

Reverse overlap but with an extended index finger ala Brooks Koepka. Been using that for 30+ years so I'm thinking Brooks must have copied me. :)

[@jpbernie72]

No Happy Gilmore hockey grip?

[@paulgolfer]

ME AND MY GOLF . I was a very good putter before covid19 since then and with the loss of my mother to it my putting chipping have gone . DO YOU THINK ITS BECAUSE OF THE HOLE ? AND MY CHIPPING well thats because instead of playing it like a batsman at cricket bringing the club down into the ground at the back of the ball im coming up on it . however we have this bunker on our 16th its 6ft deep and twice ive been in it near the face and twice ive escaped, and ive no confidence in bunkers yet I can open a 6 iron open my stance and hey presto out it comes. Paul of OF TINGLEY

[@jamesgray6354]

Which style does Jordan Speith use?

[@meandmygolf.]

Lead hand low James.

[@America1779]

The pencil!

[@maxclifford2561]

is normal overlap not a common grip?

[@CommandShiftH]

I love my own style. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do it.

[@jamiesloan7259]

I respect most all of you're content, but I'm afraid you were wrong about the information concerning toe hang putters. Toe hang putters actually SLOW DOWN the rate of closure into impact.

[@Crazy350ZDriver]

Here's a tip for next time. Please show each grip for more than half a second. It doesnt help watching you putt 10 feet away

[@ewancuthbert1966]

I could use a stick at the moment and wouldn't make any difference

My hands just dont understand any grip other than the very basic grip

[@cauliflowerpete616]

[@nataliethomson240]

Just wondering if you could start to include some female golfers when you feature professionals as you did in this video. Is there any reason why they were all men whose grips you were showing? Are you only aiming your videos to men? Do you not know what types of grips the professional women use? Are they not also interesting? As a female who is beginning to learn I would love to see some inclusion of women in your videos even if it's just saying this is how so and so grips the club. Thanks

[@heftygainz]

Id argue that last one is definitely a Kuchar lol. Way before Bryson came along

[@bearvillebear1468]

I've got a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this: All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortality and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What is this new way entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. ... What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more or if you need clarification on anything xxx

[@georgedzurko9514]

Reverse Overlap forever.

[@larsmenken2679]

None of the above. I hold the putter like every other club. I just tried them in the kitchen and they all feel strange right now.

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes they will feel a little strange at first.
