Lacesr4suckers Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I got the putting yips last year and switched to claw putting this year and have been much better but I don’t love how my superstroke 3.0 grip feels now that I’ve switched from putting normally. I’ve seen some grips advertised as being made for the claw but was curious if anyone has tried them and if they’re worth trying. Or any other grips that you think I should consider Quote Me winning isn’t, you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christof Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Maybe read the test or reviews of Garson golf is, I myself do not use the claw grip, I have the Max from garson and with a prayer grip, before I did not have the Max I putted with the pencil grip, For me the Max gives a more relaxed feel than the Ultimate, I have not been able to test the Quad tour.

Alfred DuPuy Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hi, @Lacesr4suckers I might be your guy I had the same issue - switched to the claw grip (taught it to myself, but it mostly resembles Justin Rose - at least the last time I checked) and that helped me literally stay in the game. I do very much like the SuperStroke Claw grips. I have tried both the 1.0 and the 2.0 with the 2.0 a little bigger as it fits my left hand better since I do play with mid-size grips on all my clubs. So, it just depends a bit on feel and how you normally like your putter grips. Smaller, thinner putter grips are simply bad for me! However, when I went to get my current gamer (the glorious Evnroll ER2v for which I got fitted at their Carlsbad location back in April - highly recommended) at Golf Galaxy, I was planning to get the 2.0 put on, but they didn't have one. So, I browsed for a bit and landed on the Winn Dri-Tac Jumbo Pistol Lite. It is a bigger grip, but again, I really like the pistol shape for my left hand and the flat front for my right hand. The key for me with the claw grip is getting a stable left hand (whatever works best) and then a comfortable, connected feel for the right hand. I would highly recommend all three of these grips. Hope this helps. Lacesr4suckers and sellemental 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacesr4suckers Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Thanks @Alfred DuPuy I will look into those and hopefully find a winner. I definitely think I’d prefer a pistol grip. Glad to know they worked for you Quote Me winning isn’t, you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_BEN Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The Garsen Ultimate worked pretty well with a claw grip when we were testing the Garsen grips. The front half of the grip is flat then angled 45 degrees on each side, with back half of grip rounded like a half moon.

iceman4123ca Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Lamkin Sink Fit Pistol Rubber Putter Grip is my go to. Been using a claw grip since I saw Chris DiMarco using it on tour. Tried almost everything on the market at one time or another and this one works the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Couple guys I play with have hand tremors, which have led to yips, and have moved to a claw grip. One uses the Flatso from SS and the other uses the Flat Cat, don't know which model.

sellemental Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I've been using the claw grip for about a year and a half now, and have oftened wondered the same question. Here's what I've found for myself so far. I'll second the SS claw grip. I have the 1.0 on the putter I began the year with and found it real good, and have the 2.0 version on the Evnroll putter I switched toward the end of the season. The 2.0 is quite a bit larger and the pistol is more pronounced, IMO. I've also experimented with the Lamkin Sink Fit Pistol Rubber Putter Grip and liked it. I've also tried the Flatso, and the Flat Cat briefly, and did not like them, and/or did not find they worked well. Here's why. As Alfred said, the pistol grip is crucial for locking the left hand in for the smooth, stable stroke you are looking for, at least for me. I was sure the Flatso grip would be perfect because of the wide, flat front surface, but turned out not so much. Good luck with the stroke. Distance control was the hardest part for me at first, but after adjusting to the claw grip, it's better now than ever.

Headhammer Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Perhaps one of the new reverse taper grips from Golf Pride could be a solution.

Alfred DuPuy Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Yup. I have 'tried it on' if only at my local Golf Galaxy. I am still reluctant to switch out of my SuperStroke Claw 2.0 for now. And of course, the longer it stays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
