When it comes to selecting a golf putting grip, you will find that there are more variations and preferences to choose from than in any other area of golf. The key to successful putting starts with a good solid golf putting grip, and one that feels comfortable and enables you to produce a consistent and reliable stroke.
Below I have covered what I feel are the most commonly used golf putting grips. So if you are looking for a change or are new to the game, I would recommend trying them out and find one that feels comfortable and right.
The Reverse Overlap:
This is probably the most common of golf putting grips - place both hands on the putter next to each other (left hand above) with the thumbs on top of the grip pointing downwards. Then wrap the index finger of the left hand so it is covering the fingers of the right hand, this ensures that they are connected and can work as one unit.
The Cross-handed:
This is basically the reverse of the traditional Reverse Overlap - so you would place both hands on the putter, but this time with the right hand above the left, again, both thumbs on top of the grip pointing down the shaft and the wrap the index finger of the right hand so it is covering the fingers of the left hand, the advantage of this putting grip is that the left hand is less likely to collapse in the forward stroke.
The Two Fingers Down:
This golf putting grip is a variation of the Reverse Overlap - so following the same set up but this time the index finger of the right hand will be placed on and pointing down the side of putter grip.
The Split Handed:
This is where the hands are placed apart from each other on the putting grip, you can alternate which hand goes on top. With this grip the fingers of the top hand should be touching the forearm of the lower hand to ensure they are working as one unit. Again, the advantage of this putting grip is that the left hand is less likely to collapse in the forward stroke.
