When it comes to putting, there's no right or wrong way to do it.
Golf is a completely individual game, so what works for one player might not work for another and vice versa.
With that said, there's not a correct putting grip that all golfers should learn to use.
However, the style of grip that is often regarded as the traditional method is the reverse overlap grip.
The reverse overlap is favoured for its simplicity and effectiveness.
In this grip, the index finger of the non-dominant hand overlaps the fingers of the dominant hand, providing stability and control without excessive grip pressure.
But if you're not comfortable using this type of grip, there's a whole host of other putting grip styles you can try to see what feels best in your hands and gives you the best chance of holing putts.
Here's some of the other most common putting grips:
Cross-Handed (Left-Hand-Low) Grip
This grip sees the dominant hand placed lower on the putter than the non-dominant hand, reversing their usual positions.
It's popular among players looking to stabilise their wrists and shoulders during the putt, promoting a smoother putting stroke.
Claw Grip
The claw grip separates the duties of the hands, with the dominant hand adopting a "claw" shape to stabilise the putter, while the non-dominant hand guides the direction.
This grip is beneficial for players struggling with wrist movement or looking to improve their stroke's pendulum motion.
Arm Lock Grip
Gaining popularity for its ability to lock the putter against the leading arm, creating a single, solid unit, the arm lock grip enhances stability and reduces wrist action.
The arm lock method requires a longer putter and is ideal for players looking to stop the left wrist breaking during the stroke.
Pencil (Saw) Grip
Very similar to the claw grip, this grip involves holding the end of the putter with the fingers of the dominant hand as if holding a pencil.
It's favoured by players seeking to improve their feel and touch on the greens, especially on faster putts.
Whichever putting style you use, a thick putter grip is always a great choice to have on your putter as it allows for a more consistent stroke overall.
