Putting Grip

[birdie_man]

I posted this today on Lynn's forum...I want to see what you have to say too though. I want the whole story.

Here's the post:

"What's the call?

Palms facing (wrists vertical)...or hand(s) turned/rolled to whatever degree. Both hands? or one hand? Which hand?

Overlap? Reverse overlap? Claw? Double Overlap?

Should there be SOME things that should be thought of as benchmarks that EVERYONE should have?

Or should it be completely personal, as some people think putting should be.

I'd think it would be a balance between sound mechanics based on principle and personal choice based on...well whatever- feel, natural technique/instincts, style, results.

Many things to consider but I think it's a good thread to get going and inestigate."

Keys to being an awesome putter:

- both forearms on plane
- eyes over or just inside the ball
- a grip that allows you to consistently trace a straight plane line
- trace a straight plane line
- hit the ball before low point

-----------

Do the above and its just finding the right line/speed. I use the "pistol grip" i created.
