Hook and Weak Grip in Putting Grip

I think there should be a hook grip or weak grip in putting. The putter grip has a flat part that is designed to rest your thumbs when gripping the putter. But this flat putter grip is telling everyone to hold the putter the same way. However, this grip may be too strong or too weak for some players.

 

When I was in college, I was pulling or pushing putts once in a while and couldn't prevent it from happening no matter how hard I tried. So I thought I should grip my putter little stronger than before. Instead of resting my thumbs right on top of the flat part, I rested my thumbs littlle right of center on the grip. I soon started to hold  more putts.

 

I did better with stronger putting grip because I eliminated the excess movement of the putter faca during the stroke. So my left hand gri is little strong ever since. At one day, I asked the golf shop to cut my putter shaft because I thought it was too long for me. I told them that I will replace the grip myself and came home with the putter and the new grip.

 

The Technique for Replacing Your Putter Grip

When I was about to replace my putter grip, I stopped and thought about something. I put my thumbs little right of center. So I thought I should insert the new putter grip in the shaft little stronger than usual. I still replace my putter grip like that today.

 

If you think your putter face tends to open at impact, you might want to try the stronger grip.
