"Achieve Greater Precision with the Right Putter Grip and Length"

Selecting the correct putter grip size and length is crucial to improving your performance on the greens. Whether you need more control, stability, or comfort, finding the right fit for your putter can make all the difference. Use this guide and the chart below to ensure you're optimizing your putter setup for the best results.

"How to Determine the Correct Putter Length"

The length of your putter is just as important as the grip size. The correct putter length will allow you to set up in a comfortable and consistent position, helping you maintain a stable stroke. Use the chart below to match your height and wrist-to-floor measurement to the appropriate putter length.

Standard Size Putter Grips

Standard grips are the smallest size, offering maximum feedback for players who prefer to feel every detail of the stroke.

Ideal for:

• Golfers who prefer to feel the activation of smaller muscles (hands and wrists) during the stroke.
• Players with smaller hands.
• Golfers who want to reduce a slice or control their putting direction.

Pros:

• Maximum feedback, allowing for more sensitivity and precision.
• Improved control over the putter.
• Greater accuracy due to better hand-to-club connection.

Cons:

• May be too small for players with larger hands or those who grip too tightly.
• Not ideal for individuals with arthritis or joint pain, as they require more hand and wrist movement.

Tip for Choosing: If you prefer a more tactile feel and control over your putter and enjoy using your hands and wrists during the stroke, a standard grip is likely the best fit.

Midsize Putter Grips

Midsize grips offer a middle ground between standard and oversized grips, providing both control and feedback.

Ideal for:

• Golfers seeking a balance between control and feel.
• Players who want to quiet their hands during the stroke and use larger muscle groups.
• Individuals with arthritis.

Pros:

• Reduces hand and wrist movement while still providing solid feedback.
• Helps prevent over-bending and excessive closing of the hands.
• Provides more control and feel for stronger players.
• Helps maintain a square putter face at impact.
• Relieves grip pressure, especially for players with smaller hands.

Cons:

• May take some getting used to if switching from a standard or oversized grip.

Tip for Choosing: If you like the feel of standard grips but want a bit more control without going full oversized, a midsize grip offers a great balance of feedback and muscle engagement.

Oversized Putter Grips

Also known as jumbo putter grips, oversized grips can help create a smoother, more controlled stroke by reducing wrist action.

Ideal for:

• Players who want to engage larger muscles for control (rather than the hands or wrists).
• Higher handicap golfers.
• Players with large hands or who wear thick gloves.
• Individuals with arthritis or joint issues.

Pros:

• Encourages smoother strokes with less wrist movement.
• Larger surface area offers better grip and contact.
• Reduces twisting of the putter face, helping to maintain a square face at impact.
• Can help golfers with tight grip pressure, reducing tension.
• Activates larger arm muscles, promoting better consistency.

Cons:

• Often heavier than standard-sized grips, which may require an adjustment period.

Tip for Choosing: If you tend to grip the putter too tightly or have issues with wrist movement during your stroke, an oversized grip might offer more stability and control.

How to Choose the Right Putter Grip for You

1. Consider Your Hand Size:

   • Larger hands may benefit from midsize or oversized grips, while smaller hands usually perform better with standard or midsize grips.

2. Evaluate Your Grip Pressure:

   • If you tend to grip the putter too tightly, a larger grip (midsize or oversized) can help reduce that tension.
   • Standard grips may allow for too much hand and wrist action if your grip pressure is too high.

3. Think About Wrist Movement:

   • If you struggle with excessive wrist movement during your stroke, larger grips can help minimize that motion and engage your larger arm muscles.
   • If you prefer to use your hands and wrists in your putting stroke, stick to a standard grip.

4. Physical Comfort:

   • If you have arthritis or joint pain, a midsize or oversized grip can help reduce the strain on your hands and wrists by limiting vibration and hand motion.

5. Stroke Type:

   • For players with a more “straight-back-and-through” stroke, larger grips often provide better stability.
   • For those who prefer an “arc stroke” or like to feel their hands in control, standard grips offer better feel and feedback.

By choosing the right putter grip size, you can improve your putting accuracy, consistency, and overall comfort on the greens. Test out different sizes to see which feels the most comfortable and helps you maintain the best control over your putter.

Understanding Putter Lie and Loft Differences

At our shop, we take precision seriously, which is why we carefully analyze the lie and loft angles of every putter we carry. Using our Quintic Ball Roll Simulator, we’ve tested each putter to establish the most accurate and effective loft and lie angles for optimal performance.

While you may notice that some putters have a standard loft of 4° and a lie of 70°, and others may feature different configurations like 3° loft or 72° lie, these variations aren't random. They are the result of rigorous testing with the Quintic Ball Roll, allowing us to identify the best-performing specifications for each individual putter.

Through this process, we ensure that each putter maximizes both roll and control based on its unique design, helping you achieve a more consistent and accurate putting stroke. The difference in loft or lie can significantly affect how the ball rolls off the face of the putter, especially on different green speeds or with different putting strokes.

By working with these fine-tuned standard angles, we’re confident that each putter we offer is optimized for performance based on thorough testing and real-world conditions. Rest assured that our recommendations are backed by data and professional insights to help you choose the right putter for your game.
