WE all know that there are several ways to grip a putter and that is why you should find the grip that suits you best. It is important to your game and keeping scores down.

There are also many excellent putters on Tour – both exemplary in method and demeanour.

Here is a couple of grips that you might want to try (we will share a few more next week):Conventional / reverse overlapThe Technique: This places the hands in a very similar position to the full swing grip, but with some modifications. The grip should sit more in the palm of the left hand and the left index finger should sit outside and overlap the fingers of the right hand. The right and left thumbs should point straight down the shaft and right index finger can be extended.
