Improving Your Putting Grip
Hi! I’m David Anderson for Expert Village. We are here at the beautiful Golf Club at Star ranch outside Austin, Texas helping you improve your golf game, perhaps shave a few strokes off of your golf game so may be you can win some money from your friends. What we are demonstrating right now is various putting grips. We have the universal grip which is 1 hand is on top of the other, thumb down the shaft. Some people like to do that. We demonstrated that. I am going to show you what Mark Calcavecchia on the PGA Tour uses. It’s called the claw. Chris DiMarco also uses it. You start with the left hand on top and you wrap the right hand around like that, around the shaft. It seems to work for Chris DiMarco and Mark Calcavecchia. Another putting grip that you rarely see; I’ve only see one Pro do it and that‘s on the LPGA tour, her name is Natalie Gulbis. What she does is she will start with the right hand but she will bring the hand way down here so there is separation between the two hands and she putts almost behind the ball like this. She’s won a lot of money.
