I am very curious about these grips and can't wait to try them out!  I am very happy with the Super Stroke grip I have on my gamer, but would love to see if these offer more.  I'm going to be following all three testing threads as I'm also intrigued by the Quad Tour.  Putting is certainly an area that I could use some improvement in, and these are supposed to help with your body mechanics.  Hopefully that means the ball goes where I want it to more often than not.

I just picked up a Nike Method Midnight 007 with a Garsen grip on it. Just rolled it on the practice mat so far, but it feels really good, seems to help in getting a neutral back and forth stroke for me at least.

I'm seeing other testers receiving their packages and I'm getting psyched.  I'm traveling this week and am looking forward to getting home to a nice welcome package.  Will have to get on the course as soon as possible after Mother's Day to give the Ultimate a rip!

Congrats testers, definitely looking forward to reading what you have to say as I'm sitting here looking at their site and debating on picking up the variety pack 😂

I can say, that there are things to like about each of the grips and a variety pack wouldn’t be money wasted.

Install done last night with Scotty Newport .... finally dried & I think it looks good.  I picked Blue ... my favorite color 🙂

I will have more insight on my install last night later today when I get home.  Some interesting adjustment in weight 😉

I installed the Max last night with air (posted a short video in the Max thread)  but took the Ultimate and my gamer putter into my golf shop today for the install. Just wanted to make sure everything was setup perfectly square. 

I will get some testing done this weekend but so far I like the in hand feel of both grips. I'm thinking both will require a different grip then what I am used to with my Golf Pride Pro Only. The Ultimate maybe just a slight variation. Feels like my right hand needs to be slightly stronger. We'll see how it goes on the practice greens.

Getting practice in on the mat in the 'Nut cave a lot.  Trying to get used to the grip.  For some reason, I seem to want to grip it more in the fingers (which is no-no) with this grip.  🤨  I thought it would create more in the palms, like the MAX, but it doesn't, at least with me.  It's not really any different than the Scotty grip I had on before.  But I have to work more with it.  I have league on Tuesday, so that will be the test.  I will head to the putting green tomorrow afternoon with it.  Cause I have the speed down on my mat LOL 🤣

15 putts on Monday & 14 on Tuesday.  Hmmm ... could it be the grip?  Time will tell. 😄

Opened my package on Monday after getting back from travels.  Tried to make an unboxing video but had something wrong with my camera auto focus setup that had half of it out of focus, so pretty much unusable.  Here's a screen cap from the best part though. 😁

Went out on Monday and hit some balls around with both my current gamer (Kirkland KS1) and an older Wilson putter that I played for years with.  I got a video that I'm still editing for length comparing both of these with a few different putting distances and different grip styles to compare against.  Will re-grip the Wilson, hopefully today.  I'll take a similar video with the Ultimate on the old BT-2 to see if it makes a difference!

The comparison putter configurations:
