Is There Such A Thing As The Perfect Putting Grip?

By Darell Mckissick

I remember when it was the oddball thing to try crosshanded putting. Now you see the claw, the saw. And look at all the grips Berhard Langer has been through.

What you are seeing when someone makes major changes to their grip in an unconventional way is the last gasp of a desperate player who has lost all confidence in themselves. The only more desperate measure they can take is to go to a long putter.

In the end, the grip changes are really a symptom of the loss of confidence. After all, the grip they changed from probably worked quite well for several years.

If nothing else, all the new and extreme grips you see the touring professionals using are positive proof of the irrelevance of the grip in putting. Any grip, be it the 'normal putting grip' or the claw, or the left hand low, any of them, will work only if the player has confidence in it and him/her self.

If you have been looking for the perfect grip in putting, you may as well be looking for the Holy Grail.

But if you insist on looking for it anyway, let me define exactly what the perfect putting grip is so you will know it when you find it.

The perfect putting grip is the one in which you have perfect confidence. You must KNOW that it will perform perfectly on every stroke.

I don't believe you should be looking for perfection in anything, but especially in golf and putting. Don't worry about building a perfect putting stroke or a perfect grip. You can't.

Instead, you should seek perfect confidence in your putting, regardless of what instills that confidence in you. You may find it building because of what happens with the grip or equipment, but confidence in a grip or putter is no substitute for confidence in yourself.

Putting is easy if you allow yourself to make it that way. It doesn't matter what kind of grip you use.

The follow-through is the result of the prior body movements. After impact it's just a matter of releasing all tension and letting centrifugal force finish your swing. Centrifugal force will keep the clubface travel and clubface angle in the proper position. After the ball leaves the clubface there is nothing you can do that will affect the flight of the ball.
