The Claw putting grip

Some may have read my post a couple of days ago about the fact that I plan to concentrate on my putting to help get my h/c down

I stumbled across the claw grip.......it is where you have a normal left hand grip but your right hand sits at 90deg to your left ontop of the shaft with all your fingers staying straight....and your right thumb on the back (closest to your body) of the shaft

I spent an hour today trying this out and I was quite surprised - It took 15mins to feel comfortable with the grip but from the get go I found it much easier to keep a straighter action and hence a straighter roll on the ball. I think most of this was to do with the follow through as it seems to put you in a position for your right hand/arm to 'go to' the hole and there is no wrist action to break down.

 I found it quite an eye opener.....I'll keep at it on the putting green and rounds when I'm on my own for a while yet before I employ it in a comp.

Have any of you guys got any experience of this grip?

Yes you have explained it well Lewis I have used it maybe a few years ago now ,but it wasn't for long. You should try a few diferent styles to see which you get the best results from and the most comfortable. Struggling myself at the mo so just got out the old two ball out to see if i can get some confidence back. Played a matchplay pairs today and the beggars Knew I was struggling with short putts and duely gave me nada

Yes, Dave they phoned me to ask about your short putting and I explained that you hit the ball nice and firmly to the back of the cup but never dead centre, so they always lip out.

To true John I believe but I maybe wrong but i thnk my problem is trying to hit my toe balance putter straight back and through and missiing left or catching left edge with to much pace and Angelina Jolieing.    hence the two balls out.
