Grip Your Putter

Want to sink more putts like the pros? Follow these easy steps and you'll be on your way to a huge improvement in your golf score.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Putter
  1. Step 1

    What I'm about to show you is a way to grip the putter that will help you have a more consistent stroke and sink more putts. This is not a conventional way to grip the putter, but it really works.

  2. Step 2

    The traditional way to grip the putter is to stand bent over relaxed with your arms dangling down and your palms facing the putter grip. Now here's a slight modification to that. Stand over your putter like you normally would, but instead of having your palms face the putter, turn your forearms away from your body so that they are facing outward. This may feel a bit awkward.

  3. Step 3

    Now with your forearms facing away from your body, grip the putter with your palms closest to you so that they are facing away from your body. You'll notice that its harder to break your wrists. This is the whole point of gripping the putter this way. This will help you to not get wristy in your putting stroke.

  4. Step 4

    Give this new grip a chance. Practice with it and you'll notice that your stroke feels more consistent and you're able to make a pendulum motion with your putter.

  5. Step 5

    Now go try this out in your next round of golf and watch yourself sink more putts!

Tips & Warnings
  • In order to be a good putter you need perfect practice. Put some time in on the practice green and you'll see the improvement out on the course.
