Hats off very good idea. hope it takes off for him. (Hope Paddy holes a few with it too:p)

Hacker111 · 07-02-2012 08:45PM

Good idea alright, I have tried it out and your hands seem to set on club a lot easier ...haven't bought yet though!

Fair play to him.... hopefully it takes off massively......

Tried this grip today albeit not on my own putter. My wrists definitely felt more locked in position for a more solid and true stroke. Im gonna try it a few more times and then make the decision whether to put it on my own putter but first impressions were good.

A friend of mine got it on one of his putters and has given it to me for the week. I'm not sure where you could actually try it in a store. Perhaps give Wicklow pro shop a call and they should be able to tell you.

How are u finding it?

Well first impressions were good. I am going to try it out a few more times over the next few days but will more than likely be getting it on my own. Will use it for a full round tomorrow and report back if that is any use to you.

BoardsMember · 14-02-2012 03:00PM

Oooh, I'm really tempted to buy one of these!! I have been having problems with the short putts recently and this might just be the thing for me!!

heebusjeebus · 14-02-2012 03:05PM

I just got one fitted to my putter during lunch. Wont be able to use it in anger until the weekend but it feels good just practising.
Got it in McGuirks for €30 and free fitting. I think it a decent price as its €35 from the website.

Does it come with any options in size? I use a midsize grip, might consider giving this a bash if it comes in that. No options available on website.

BoardsMember · 14-02-2012 03:11PM

Ok, I'm struggling to work out if this is exactly what I need, or exactly what I dont....

My setup is not great, my hands too close to my body, so I end with the toe in the air a bit. I also come quite close to rubbing my left hand against my left thigh after impact. So what I need to do is to try to move my hands a little away from my body. Will this assist me? I'm more of a pendulum putter so the low hands are an issue. My feel for putting is usually that I am putting with the palm of my right hand, like bowling a ball. I sink my fair share of putts, but the short ones I can tend to pull or push.

If anyone has (informed) opinion or input on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Thanks Mike

I was not offered any choice on sizings. Or colour for that matter. Luckily the white and black grip looks good with my Taylormade Corza Ghost putter.

I thought that was expensive?

I got a Super Stroke Fatso Lite including fitting, including saving the old grip, before christmas in Halpenny golf for 20 euro. I would get it fitted and use it for a month or so (depends on how much golf you play) and then make a decision. The Fatso made a huge difference to my confidence over short putts, even though my stats are not overly more impressive; and as a result I spend less time setting up for the short putts.

As far as i know if is not much bigger than a normal grip had a thick grip on a putter and not too keen on it. The Grip on my 2ball needs changing so might try this.

Think I'm going to pick one of these up myself, I was doing a bit of putting today and just played around with locking out the wrists as the grip dose to see of if I could get an idea of the concept and I must say it worked fairly well. I think it's worth a go, (especially with the state of my putting at the moment).

I wonder dose it affect the lie of the putter in any way ..?

Anyone have an idea of the shipping times on it.? If I ordered tonight would it go in the post tomorrow.?

GoLow59 · 14-02-2012 08:26PM

As far as I know it only comes in one size. If the grip was any smaller it wouldn't be as effective and wouldn't keep the hands as square on the grip and square to the putter face.

It doesn't effect the actual lie angle of the putter, but it does make it feel a little more upright because of the wrists being higher at address. I ordered the grip nearly a month ago now and it was shipped the following day so no complaints!

I've used it a lot now and the difference in my putting is unreal!!! The greens aren't great given the time of year but I'm still holing putts. Very confident on putts inside 5ft, holing more from 5-15ft and leaving longer putts dead and are a lot closer to actually going in. I was going to get a lesson but decided I'd try this first and it's the best €30 I've spent in a long time.

Knowing the results now I'd have paid twice as much for it. Top product and hats off to the guy!

k.p.h · 14-02-2012 11:30PM

Cheers GoLow, order placed. You should give them a shout you might get a marketing job

GoLow59 · 14-02-2012 11:33PM

No bother, glad it helped!

I put it on an Odyssey DART mallet, but I've seen it on Taylor Made Rossa and a Scotty Cameron heel-toe weighted putters which were nice as well.

daveryan231 · 15-02-2012 04:37PM

I work in a golf shop and these have taken off hugely, doesn't seem to fit right for myself but a lot of interest

daveryan231 · 21-02-2012 01:14PM

this grip has taken off well loads of people getting them done, to be honest though it just doesnt suit me at all but thats putting one thing will suit one person and not the other. try everything is my advice anyway

heebusjeebus · 21-02-2012 01:31PM

I played 2 rounds over the weekend with it and I'm improving each time I use it. My putting aint great anyway but I managed more 1 putts in a round with the P2 Grip than with the old grip.
I feel like there are less variables to my swing now that my wrists are straight.
I should get better the more I use it.

Hacker111 · 21-02-2012 03:48PM

I bought one on saturady...have practised a good bit with it already...I needed to tweak my grip due to grip..... but so far results are positive...... I find it easier to swing the putter back and true on line ..... I'll know more in a few weeks.... €30 all in including fitting.

BigChap1759 · 21-02-2012 03:50PM

€30 for a putter grip :rolleyes:
