Hi,

Does / has anyone used the two thumb putter grip and if so, what do you think?

My putting is the worst part of my game and I know there is no substitute for practice but wondered if a two thumb grip would provide me with any assistance.  I have quite big hands so I can't comfortably hold the grip with hands side by side which I could do with the two thumb grip.

Any views would be appreciated.

Richard

Been using mine for around a year to and have the pro light version so it didnt affect the balance of my putter. Would find it hard to go back to a normal grip now i like it that much.

Instead of using it as a two thumb grip, try dropping the right hand down and keeping the left hand as passive as is possible further up the grip. This will cause you to hit the power of the putt with the right hand only, and feel that you are rolling the ball to the hole with your right hand only. I have found that i am much more consistant with this grip than the two thumb method.

good luck, hwk.
